Bile acid analytical evaluations, however, are challenging as many co-elute in liquid chromatography (LC), share identical mass spectrometry (MS) precursor masses, and produce similar tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) spectra. As a result, conventional LC-MS/MS workflows struggle to differentiate bile acids and have motivated the addition of orthogonal separations such as ion mobility spectrometry (IMS).

Additionally, we introduce a publicly available multidimensional reference library containing LC retention times, IMS collision cross section values, and accurate precursor masses for 280 unique bile acids (264 endogenous and 16 deuterium-labeled species) including unconjugated, host-conjugated, and microbially conjugated bile acids.

First, the live-dead plant-microbe continuum enables metabolic persistence by incorporating microbial necromass and root residues into long-term carbon sequestration and nutrient regeneration. Second, spatial organization across rhizosphere microzones optimizes microscale metabolic interactions through niche heterogeneity. Third, adaptive restoration dynamically re-establishes disrupted metabolic networks through coordinated plant-microbiome stress responses.

We consider indoor spaces as active exposure ecologies shaped by ventilation, filtration, and moisture control. While mitigating harmful pollutants, dampness-related microbiota, and pathogens is an ethical and practical prerequisite for MS of the built environment, it is insufficient for achieving MS. We must shift from traditional concepts of sterility toward a model of \"healthy porosity\" through intentional microbial cultivation. Synthesis of current evidence highlights the health benefits associated with taxonomically rich, environmentally sourced microbial consortia, such as outdoor-, soil-, dog-, and plant-associated taxa. Moreover, moisture control, dust-reservoir maintenance, appropriate filtration, and supportive occupant behaviors are needed to favor benign and beneficial microbial communities.

Employing a balanced study design using soil samples from salt marsh, deciduous forest, and urban greenspace (plus sterilized controls), samples underwent the first two IMO cultivation steps followed by 16S rRNA and ITS metagenomic sequencing. Notably, IMO cultivation was dominated by limited bacterial taxa (<i>Enterobacterales, Pseudomonadales, Bacillales</i>) and fungal taxa (<i>Rhizopodaceae</i>, particularly <i>R. oryzae</i>).
