Using community metabolomics as a new approach to discriminate marine microbial particulate organic matter in the western English Channel - Carole Llewellyn (Progress in Oceanography, 2015)
Metabolomics is an increasingly important technique across many disciplines. It is not yet widely used in the aquatic research. This paper is important because it is the first time that community metabolomics has been used to discriminate marine microbial populations. Our results show for the first time the power of community metabolomics in discriminating metabolite patterns associated with marine POM.
