text: The E. Coli Metabolome Database is a freely accessible, online database of >2,700 small molecule metabolites found in or produced by Escherichia coli (E. coli strain K12, MG1655).  The ECMDB contains two kinds of information:
  # Chemical information and
  # Biochemical information.
  The chemical information includes more than 2,700 metabolite structures with detailed metabolite descriptions, extensive chemical classifications, synthesis information and observed/calculated chemical properties.  It also contains nearly 5,000 NMR, GC-MS and LC-MS spectra from more than 600 different metabolites. The biochemical information includes >1,600 protein (and DNA) sequences and >3,100 biochemical reactions that are linked to these metabolite entries. The ECMDB supports many different types of online queries including text searches, chemical structure searches, sequence similarity searches and spectral similarity searches.  This makes it particularly useful for metabolomic researchers who are studying E. coli as a model organism.
  Secondary electrospray ionization (SESI-MS) can discriminate between eleven E. Coli strains thanks to the volatile organic compound profiling.
