Discovery of sulfated metabolites in mycobacteria with a genetic and mass spectrometric approach

Abstract excerpt

The study of the metabolome presents numerous challenges, first among them being the cataloging of its constituents. A step in this direction will be the development of tools to identify metabolites that share common structural features. The importance of sulfated molecules in cell–cell communication motivated us to develop a rapid two-step method for identifying these metabolites in microorganisms, particularly...
