Construction of Viable Soil Defined Media Using Quantitative Metabolomics Analysis of Soil Metabolites

Exometabolomics enables analysis of metabolite utilization of low molecular weight organic substances by soil bacteria. Environmentally-based defined media are needed to examine ecologically relevant patterns of substrate utilization. Here, we describe an approach for the construction of defined med...
