Metabolic pathways include all the chemical reactions in an organism that sustain biological function, and metabolic tracing lets us study them. This article explains what metabolic tracing is, the isotopes used for different types of study, and how to incorporate isotopes into samples.
Imagine that you want to test the efficiency of an antimicrobial treatment in inhibiting a certain bacterial pathogen. As part of the experiment, you expose the bacteria to the treatment and monitor the cultivability of the microorganism by counting the number of colony forming units (CFU) formed on culture media.
