Mapping <i>Aspergillus niger</i> Metabolite Biomarkers for In Situ and Early Evaluation of Table Grapes Contamination

The <i>Aspergillus niger</i> exometabolome was recently investigated using advanced gas chromatography in tandem with multivariate analysis, which allowed a metabolite biomarker pattern to be proposed. Microbial metabolomics patterns have gained enormous relevance, mainly due to the amou...
