Happy New Year 🎉 Our collab with Strittmatter lab TU Munich shows the power of #massspec to see #bacteria in #tissues
233 bacterial species were mined for markers at different phylogenetic levels. Watch out for those taxon-specifc markers (TSMs) in your #spatialmetabolomics

An experiment involving field collected worms and worms put on an oat meal diet (yes, we used oats and added plant phenolics or lard) revealed a metabolic response. 👍drilodefensins increased when worms were fed plant phenolics.

#spatialmetabolomics was key to know where the #metabolites are located

Earthworms vs. Plants: A silent battle beneath your feet! 🐛🌿
Our research found that earthworms produce drilodefensins to neutralize plant polyphenols, helping them recycle nutrients and enrich soil.
🌟 Fun fact: we named the metabolites after drilosphere, the part of soil impacted by earthworms!

Seeing the world through a new lens 🌿✨
A church window’s stained glass pattern vs. a mass spectrometry imaging map of a #seagrass root. Both offer intricate beauty and a unique perspective. Which inspires you more? #NatureMeetsArt #spatialmetabolomics #metabolomics
