An Untargeted Metabolomic Approach for Microphytobenthic Biofilms in Intertidal Mudflats

Microphytobenthic (MPB) biofilms in intertidal muddy sediments play important ecological functions in coastal ecosystems. These biofilms are mainly composed of epipelic diatoms but also prokaryotes, with a dominance of bacteria, which excrete diverse extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) accordin...
