Identification of Sassafras albidum alkaloids by high‐performance thin‐layer chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and mapping by desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging

TL;DR: This work aimed to identify further alkaloids present in S. albidum roots, twigs, and leaves by high-performance thin-layer chromatography coupled to desorption electrospray ionization multistage mass spectrometry (HPTLC DESI-MSn) and to map the spatial distribution of these compounds by DESi-MS imaging.

The Comparative Studies of the Phytochemical Levels and the in vitro Antioxidant Activity of Tridax procumbens L. from Different Habitats

TL;DR: Biosynthesis of the secondary metabolites of Tridax procumbens is not only controlled genetically, but also strongly influenced by the habitats, and the antioxidant potential of plant extracts derived from high altitude samples were higher than dry and wet-lands.

Induktion von veränderten Metabolitenprofilen in Streptomyceten durch Umweltfaktoren : Kokultivierung von Streptomyces avermitilis und Pseudomonas fluorescens und von Streptomyces coelicolor unter Schwermetallionenstress

TL;DR: It can be concluded, that the development of an altered metabolite profile in S. coelicolor under cobalt ion stress is based on characteristic patterns in gene expression.
