This chapter describes the methodological, technical, and algorithmic fundamentals of mass spectrometry (MS)‐based metabolomics. Metabolomics analyses fall into two complementary categories: targeted and untargeted. Modern mass spectrometers unite parallel detection of large sets of metabolites with unprecedented sensitivity and speed. In the analysis of biological samples, separation techniques are used to further reduce interferences, distinguish metabolites that cannot be resolved by MS, or support identification of metabolites with retention time information. Data analysis in metabolomics aims at identifying and quantifying metabolites from MS spectra. Single cell metabolomics is a further trending topic of relevance in metabolic engineering to investigate clonal effects, the consequence of transcriptional noise, or the emergence of subpopulations. The chapter provides representative examples on how metabolomics is used in metabolic engineering. Large‐scale metabolomics studies with tens of thousands of mutants are in reach, and hold promise to support screening for better producers and unravel intracellular state that is beneficial for product formation.
