Metabolomics Enables the Structure Elucidation of a Diatom Sex Pheromone

Finding a mate: Diatoms use chemical signals to sense the presence of and find their mating partners. When the metabolic profiles of sexually active and inactive cells were compared, a highly up‐regulated metabolite generated in the attracting mating type was identified as di‐L‐prolyl diketopiperazi...

Zusammenfassung:Finding a mate: Diatoms use chemical signals to sense the presence of and find their mating partners. When the metabolic profiles of sexually active and inactive cells were compared, a highly up‐regulated metabolite generated in the attracting mating type was identified as di‐L‐prolyl diketopiperazine, the first diatom pheromone.
