ResumoMicrobiotas are an adaptable component of ecosystems, including human ecology. Microorganisms influence the chemistry of their specialized niche, such as the human gut, as well as the chemistry of distant surroundings, such as other areas of the body. Metabolomics based on mass spectrometry (MS) is one of the primary methods for detecting and identifying small compounds generated by the human microbiota, as well as understanding the functional significance of these microbial metabolites. This book chapter gives basic knowledge on the kinds of untargeted mass spectrometry as well as the data types that may be generated in the context of microbiome study. While data analysis remains a barrier, the emphasis is on data analysis methodologies and integrative analysis, particularly the integration of microbiome sequencing data. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques have resurrected culture methods for studying the human gut microbiota, filling in the gaps left by high-throughput sequencing methods in terms of culturing minor populations.
