Improved protocol for metabolite extraction and identification of respiratory quinones in extremophilic Archaea grown on mineral materials by Sebastian V. Gfellner, Sebastian V. Gfellner, Cyril Colas, Cyril Colas, Cyril Colas, Guillaume Gabant, Guillaume Gabant, Janina Groninga, Martine Cadene, Martine Cadene, Tetyana Milojevic, Tetyana Milojevic

“…Using this approach, we identified several molecules involved in central carbon metabolism and in the modified Entner-Doudoroff pathway found in Archaea, sulfur metabolism-related compounds, and molecules involved in the adaptation of M. sedula to extreme environments, such as metal tolerance and acid resistance. Furthermore, we identified molecules involved in microbial interactions, i.e., cell surface interactions through biofilm formation and cell–cell interactions through quorum sensing, which relies on messenger molecules for microbial communication. …”
