Abstract
Chemical Catalogs in Microbial Chemistry: Structured Access to Chemical Knowledge and Experimental Resources
Author(s): Isabelle M. LaurentAbstract Chemical catalogs serve as organized repositories of chemical information and materials, playing a vital role in microbial chemistry research and application. In microbial chemistry, chemical catalogs provide structured access to reagents, standards, and specialty compounds required for studying microbial metabolism and chemical transformation. Beyond listing products, catalogs offer essential data on chemical properties, purity, and compatibility with biological systems. This article explores the role of chemical catalogs in microbial chemistry, emphasizing their contribution to experimental planning, reproducibility, and scientific efficiency.
