Abstract
Covering: 1982 up to the end of 2024Marine exometabolites (EMs) are small molecules released by marine (micro)organisms into the seawater. Collectively, all of the released EMs contribute to the chemical seascape of a marine ecosystem. Accessing and describing these waterborne molecules are a key focus of various disciplinary fields that aim to study marine biogeochemical cycles, translate the chemical language of the oceans (chemical ecology), or discover new structural entities with biological properties (natural product discovery). Beginning with the semantics of marine exometabolites, this review elucidates the different sampling methods and MS-based metabolomic analyses that are used to describe the chemical composition of seawater of benthic ecosystems. These technical and analytical advances offer promising avenues for describing the structural diversity of marine exometabolites and deciphering their functions in various ecological contexts.
期刊介绍:
Natural Product Reports (NPR) serves as a pivotal critical review journal propelling advancements in all facets of natural products research, encompassing isolation, structural and stereochemical determination, biosynthesis, biological activity, and synthesis.
With a broad scope, NPR extends its influence into the wider bioinorganic, bioorganic, and chemical biology communities. Covering areas such as enzymology, nucleic acids, genetics, chemical ecology, carbohydrates, primary and secondary metabolism, and analytical techniques, the journal provides insightful articles focusing on key developments shaping the field, rather than offering exhaustive overviews of all results.
NPR encourages authors to infuse their perspectives on developments, trends, and future directions, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas within the natural products research community.
