GC/MS Analysis of Microorganism-Derived Components Data
Shimadzu and the Faculty of Medicine, Shimane University, jointly developed the GC/MS Metabolite Component Database,
which contains over 300 metabolites (amino acids, fatty acids, organic acids), using a GCMS-QP2010 Plus Gas Fast Analysis of Amino Acids Using the GC/MS Metabolite Component Database
