Metabolites are biochemical intermediates or final products of metabolic reactions facilitated by numerous enzymes that naturally exist within cells. Their levels can be considered the definitive response of biological systems to genetic or environmental alterations. Primary metabolites, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and minerals are essential to seaweed life. Secondary metabolites: phenolic compounds, alkaloids, halogenated compounds, sterols, terpenes, and small peptides. Metabolites contribute mainly to both its nutritional and medical applications. Comprehensive analysis of metabolites in a biological system is known as omics. Using a variety of methods, including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), mass spectrometry (MS), and others, the omics approach allows for the simultaneous detection of hundreds of metabolites. Seaweed-targeted “omics” research, using a variety of computational and informatics frameworks, offers the ability to quickly advance our knowledge of molecular biological processes and help address today’s most urgent environmental and socioeconomic problems.

摘要

Metabolites are biochemical intermediates or final products of metabolic reactions facilitated by numerous enzymes that naturally exist within cells. Their levels can be considered the definitive response of biological systems to genetic or environmental alterations. Primary metabolites, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and minerals are essential to seaweed life. Secondary metabolites: phenolic compounds, alkaloids, halogenated compounds, sterols, terpenes, and small peptides. Metabolites contribute mainly to both its nutritional and medical applications. Comprehensive analysis of metabolites in a biological system is known as omics. Using a variety of methods, including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), mass spectrometry (MS), and others, the omics approach allows for the simultaneous detection of hundreds of metabolites. Seaweed-targeted “omics” research, using a variety of computational and informatics frameworks, offers the ability to quickly advance our knowledge of molecular biological processes and help address today’s most urgent environmental and socioeconomic problems. This chapter highlighted the seaweed omics research categories. Omics technology case studies are included.
