Popis: Collecting feces is easy. It offers direct outcome to endogenous and microbial metabolites. In a context of lack of consensus about fecal sample preparation, especially in animal species, we developed a robust protocol allowing untargeted LC-HRMS fingerprinting. The conditions of extraction (quantity, preparation, solvents, dilutions) were investigated in bovine feces. A rapid and simple protocol involving feces extraction with methanol (1/3, M/V) followed by centrifugation and a step filtration (10 kDa) was developed. The workflow generated repeatable and informative fingerprints for robust metabolome characterization.
