Metabolomics protocols for filamentous fungi

Methods Mol Biol. 2012:835:237-54. doi: 10.1007/978-1-61779-501-5_15.

Abstract

Proteomics and transcriptomics are established functional genomics tools commonly used to study filamentous fungi. Metabolomics has recently emerged as another option to complement existing techniques and provide detailed information on metabolic regulation and secondary metabolism. Here, we describe broad generic protocols that can be used to undertake metabolomics studies in filamentous fungi.
