The analysis of extracellular metabolites presents many technical advantages over the analysis of intracellular compounds, which made this approach very popular in recent years as a high-throughput tool to assess the metabolic state of microbial cells. However, very little effort has been made to determine the actual relationship between intracellular and extracellular metabolite levels. The secretion of intracellular metabolites has been traditionally interpreted as a consequence of an…

Extracellular Microbial Metabolomics: The State of the Art
TLDR
The applications and benefits of extracellular metabolite analysis are reviewed, different sample preparation protocols available in the literature for both types (e.g., metabolites in solution and in gas) ofextracellular microbial metabolites are discussed, and the authenticity of using extacellular metabolomics data in the metabolic modelling of different industrially important microorganisms is evaluated.
Metabolite secretion in microorganisms: the theory of metabolic overflow put to the test
TLDR
Evidence is provided based on time-series metabolomics data that microbial cells eliminate some metabolites in response to environmental cues, independent of metabolic overflow.
Metabolic flux analysis for metabolome data validation of naturally xylose-fermenting yeasts
TLDR
A stoichiometric model was constructed to simulate the intracellular carbon flux and used to validate the metabolome data collected within xylose catabolic pathways of non-Saccharomycesxylose utilizing yeasts, demonstrating a novel strategy for metabolomeData validation and bringing insights about naturally xylOSE-fermenting yeasts.
Estimation of time-varying growth, uptake and excretion rates from dynamic metabolomics data
TLDR
The method is shown to improve upon methods based on spline smoothing of the data and recovers known features of overflow metabolism in Escherichia coli and Lactococcus lactis and provides evidence for acetate uptake by L. lactis after glucose exhaustion.
Extracellular Metabolites Profile of Different Stages Colorectal Cancer Cell Lines
TLDR
The importance of conducting both metabolomics profiling of extracellular and intracellular to generate a more complete understanding on the molecular changes that occur as CRC progresses is highlighted.
Introduction to Microbial Metabolomics
TLDR
The future of microbial metabolomics will certainly depend on increasing sensitivity of analytical techniques to allow the detection and identification of intracellular metabolites using very small biomass samples and mass spectrometry seems to be the technology with best potential to achieve this objective.
Intracellular and Extracellular Metabolites from the Cyanobacterium Chlorogloeopsis fritschii, PCC 6912, During 48 Hours of UV-B Exposure
TLDR
The UV-B time series experiment showed an overall significant reduction in intracellular metabolites involved with carbon and nitrogen metabolism such as the amino acids tyrosine and phenylalanine which have a role in secondary metabolite production.
Review of recent developments in GC–MS approaches to metabolomics-based research
TLDR
Specific emphasis is given to the key steps within the GC–MS workflow that those new to this field need to be aware of and the common pitfalls that should be looked out for when starting in this area.
Antioxidant properties and global metabolite screening of the probiotic yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii.
TLDR
A new perspective is presented for differentiating the two genetically related strains of yeast, S. cerevisiae and S. boulardii by assessing their metabolome fingerprints, and the correlation of the phenotypic properties with the secretory metabolites of these two yeasts is emphasized.
Overflow Metabolism in Penicillium ochrochloron and Causation in Organisms
TLDR
It is suggested that the fungal organism as a whole is the cause of its physiological behavior and no such picture does exist for filamentous fungi despite the importance of fungal overflow metabolism in biotechnology and ecology.

Extensive exometabolome analysis reveals extended overflow metabolism in various microorganisms
TLDR
There is broad evidence that this could be a common feature of all microorganism species when cultivated under conditions of carbon excess and non-inhibited carbon uptake, and this finding has consequences for metabolite balancing and, particularly, for intracellular metabolite quantification and 13C-metabolic flux analysis.
Pathway Activity Profiling (PAPi): from the metabolite profile to the metabolic pathway activity
TLDR
A new R-software package (PAPi) is presented which implements the PAPi algorithm and facilitates its usage to quickly compare metabolic pathways activities between different experimental conditions.
Glucose induces rapid changes in the secretome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
TLDR
The data indicate that transferring cells from low to high glucose media induces a rapid decline in levels of a large number of extracellular proteins and the disappearance of small vesicles from theextracellular fraction, concluding that the secretome undergoes dynamic changes during transition from glucose-deficient to glucose-rich media.

TLDR
Time-resolved metabolic footprinting could be a valuable tool for many questions in bacteriology, including isolate comparisons, phenotyping deletion mutants, and as a functional complement to taxonomic classifications.

TLDR
The novel analysis methods that allow us to perform correlation analysis to identify metabolites that significantly correlate over time during growth on the different carbon sources are developed, and an interaction map is reconstructed that provides information of how different metabolic pathways have correlated patterns during growing on theDifferent carbon sources.
