摘要：The phenotype-genotype landscape is a projection coming from detailed phenotypic and genotypic data under environmental pressure. Although phenome of microbes or microbial consortia mirrors the functional expression of a genome or set of genomes, metabolic traits rely on the phenotype. Phenomics has the potential to revolution functional genomics. In this review, we discuss why and how phenomics was developed. We described how phenomics may extend our understanding of the assembly of microbial consortia and their functionality, and then we outlined the novel applications within the study of phenomes using Omnilog platform together with a revision of its current application to study lactic acid bacteria (LAB) metabolic traits during food processing. LAB were proposed as a suitable model system to analyze and discuss the implementation and exploitation of this emerging omics approach. We introduced the ‘phenotype switching’, as a new phenotype microarray approach to get insights in bacterial physiology. An overview of methodologies and tools to manage and analyze the generated data was provided. Finally, pro and cons of pipelines developed so far, including the most innovative ones were critically analyzed. We propose an R pipeline, recently deposited, which allows to automatically analyze Omnilog data integrating the latest approaches and implementing the new concepts described here.
