How to download background metabolite list for enrichment analysis?

Question

[ganjirax]

I need to do metabolite set enrichment analyses/pathway analyses using the observed list of metabolites and their levels. The metabolites were observed from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) strain. I want to do the above analyses using the complete metabolite list/set of M.tb as background. Can anyone please suggest as where can I find the list and how to download. highly appreciate the help.

I assume by levels you mean concentrations? Have you looked at MBRole or MetaboAnalyst? You could input your metabolite names/identifiers (theres a conversion tool on MBRole for this too) into MBRole with the relevant organism selected and get your pathway enrichment.

This may be of help for the rest
