Standard reporting requirements for biological samples in metabolomics experiments: environmental context
Metabolomic technologies are increasingly being applied to study biological questions in a range of different settings from clinical through to environmental. As with other high-throughput technologies, such a...

Intraspecfic variation in cold-temperature metabolic phenotypes of Arabidopsis lyrata ssp. petraea
Atmospheric temperature is a key factor in determining the distribution of a plant species. Alongside this, plant populations growing at the margin of their range may exhibit traits that indicate genetic diffe...

Environmental metabolomics: a critical review and future perspectives
Environmental metabolomics is the application of metabolomics to characterise the interactions of organisms with their environment. This approach has many advantages for studying organism–environment interacti...

The UV-B photoreceptor UVR8 promotes photosynthetic efficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana exposed to elevated levels of UV-B
The UV-B photoreceptor UVR8 regulates expression of genes in response to UV-B, some encoding chloroplast proteins, but the importance of UVR8 in maintaining photosynthetic competence is unknown. The maximum qu...

Open AccessMetabolomic analysis of the food-borne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni: application of direct injection mass spectrometry for mutant characterisation
Campylobacter jejuni is the most frequent cause of human food-borne bacterial gastroenteritis but its physiology and biochemistry are poorly understood. Only a few amino-acids can be cat...

Metabolomic Analysis of Campylobacter jejuni by Direct-Injection Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
Direct-injection mass spectrometry (DIMS) is a means of rapidly obtaining metabolomic phenotype data in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Given our generally poor understanding of Campylobacter metabolism, the hig...

Open AccessNatural variation in tolerance to sub-zero temperatures among populations of Arabidopsis lyrata ssp. petraea
Temperature is one of the most important abiotic factors limiting plant growth and productivity. Many plants exhibit cold acclimation to prepare for the likelihood of freezing as temperatures decrease towards ...

Open AccessSynthetic algal-bacteria consortia for space-efficient microalgal growth in a simple hydrogel system
Photosynthetic microalgae are an attractive source of food, fuel, or nutraceuticals, but commercial production of microalgae is limited by low spatial efficiency. In the present study we developed a simple pho...
