I just finished watching a seminar on the microbial ecosystem in a typical honey bee colony and the bacteria/fungi that modify bee foods. Among them are several Lactobacilli and other fermenters that change the chemical make up of honey and pollen (so called "bee bread"). Anywho, long story short, the speaker coined a new word for the 'omic study of fermenting organisms in a system (for those of you not familiar with 'omics, here's a link to a poor explanation on Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omics) and I thought that it was fantastic:
Fermentomics
And I suppose one could give a bare functional definition:
The characterization, quantification, annotation, and explanation of all molecules partipating in a fermentation system.
Pretty neat, huh?! I know I'm a nerd, but I just love elegant terminology
Cheers mates
