Compound Mappings Comparison: MicroMediaParam vs kg-microbe

Date: December 18, 2025 Comparison: Current MMP files vs kg-microbe reference (December 13, 2025)

Executive Summary

Files Compared

File MicroMediaParam (Dec 18) kg-microbe (Dec 13)
strict compound_mappings_strict_final.tsv compound_mappings_strict.tsv
hydrate compound_mappings_strict_final_hydrate.tsv compound_mappings_strict_hydrate.tsv

Key Findings

✅ IDENTICAL: MMP strict_final = kg-m strict (MD5: 9f96595f0a18e627e0ce18f9571b2b09)

✅ CONSISTENT: MMP hydrate preserves base mappings from strict_final (MD5 match on column 3)

⚠️ DIVERGENT: kg-m hydrate enhanced base mappings (+40 semantic IDs) - different architecture

Architecture Comparison

MicroMediaParam Approach

Philosophy: Hydrate file EXTENDS strict_final without modifying base mappings

Process:

  1. Create compound_mappings_strict_final.tsv (Stage 10.5c.5)
  2. Copy to compound_mappings_strict_final_hydrate.tsv (Stage 10.5c.5.5)
  3. Add 3 hydrate-specific columns (37-39):
    • hydrated_chebi_id: ChEBI ID for hydrated form (e.g., CaCl2·6H2O)
    • hydrated_chebi_label: Label for hydrated form
    • hydrate_mapping_source: Source of hydrate mapping
  4. Base mappings (columns 1-36) remain UNCHANGED

Result:

  • strict_final MD5: 9f96595f0a18e627e0ce18f9571b2b09
  • hydrate MD5 (col 3): 9f96595f0a18e627e0ce18f9571b2b09 ✅ PRESERVED
  • 1,130 compounds (6.4%) have hydrate-specific ChEBI IDs in columns 37-39

Advantages:

  • ✅ Base mappings guaranteed stable (no regressions)
  • ✅ Hydrate information additive (doesn't overwrite)
  • ✅ Clear separation of concerns (base vs hydrate)

Coverage Strategy: Achieves 97.6% ChEBI via complex ingredient expansion (constituent-level resolution)

kg-microbe Approach

Philosophy: Hydrate file ENHANCES base mappings with additional semantic IDs

Process:

  1. Create compound_mappings_strict.tsv (base mappings)
  2. During hydrate creation:
    • Add hydrate-specific columns
    • ALSO upgrade biological ingredients ingredient: codes → FOODON/ENVO IDs
  3. Result: Enhanced base mappings in hydrate file

Result:

  • strict MD5: 9f96595f0a18e627e0ce18f9571b2b09
  • hydrate MD5 (col 3): dca38c76f91707329c5320f1b706a897 ⚠️ ENHANCED
  • +40 semantic IDs in hydrate (37 FOODON, 1 ENVO, 1 CHEBI, 1 PubChem)

Advantages:

  • ✅ Hydrate file has best available mappings (base + biological)
  • ✅ Single source of truth for downstream analysis
  • ✅ No separate FOODON mapping step needed

Coverage Strategy: Direct FOODON/ENVO mapping for biological ingredients

MicroMediaParam Recovery Strategy

Problem Identified

MMP initially lost 40 FOODON/ENVO semantic IDs because:

  1. kg-microbe embedded FOODON/ENVO mappings in hydrate creation
  2. MMP uses different architecture (additive hydrate columns)
  3. No deterministic FOODON/ENVO mapping in MMP pipeline

Solution Implemented (Dec 18)

New Stage 10.5c.5.7: map-biological-ingredients-foodon

Approach:

  • Deterministic OAK (Ontology Access Kit) API-based mapping
  • Multi-strategy search: exact, lowercase, normalized (brand removal), synonyms, base compound, generic
  • ID preservation: Retains existing FOODON/ENVO IDs, doesn't overwrite
  • Full provenance: 11-column output with search_strategy, timestamp, ontology_version

Results:

  • 59 biological ingredients identified
  • 38 with FOODON/ENVO IDs (64.4% coverage)
    • 7 preserved from existing
    • 31 newly mapped via OAK
  • 21 unmapped (no FOODON terms exist for generic peptones)

Comparison to kg-m:

  • kg-m hydrate: 63 FOODON IDs (via embedded enhancement)
  • MMP FOODON mapper: 38 FOODON IDs (via deterministic OAK)
  • Gap: -25 FOODON IDs (-40% fewer)

Why the Gap?

  1. Generic peptones have no FOODON terms: "Peptone", "Bactopeptone", "Trypticase" - 21 ingredients (35.6%) unmapped
  2. kg-m may use broader matching: Less conservative strategy (not documented)
  3. MMP prioritizes quality over quantity: Only deterministic, reproducible mappings

Impact Assessment:

⚠️ Low Impact because:

  • MMP achieves 97.6% ChEBI via complex ingredient expansion (constituent-level)
  • Most "Meat extract" occurrences expanded to amino acids with ChEBI IDs
  • FOODON IDs useful for semantic queries but not essential for chemical analysis

✅ High Quality because:

  • All 38 mappings fully deterministic and reproducible
  • Full provenance (strategy, timestamp, ontology version)
  • No risk of regression (preservation logic)

Coverage Comparison

ChEBI Coverage

File ChEBI IDs Total Coverage
MMP strict_final 14,526 17,658 82.3%
MMP hydrate 14,526 17,658 82.3%
kg-m strict 14,526 17,658 82.3%
kg-m hydrate 14,527 17,658 82.3%

Note: kg-m hydrate has +1 ChEBI (14,527) - likely a hydrate-specific ID

Semantic Coverage (ChEBI + PubChem + FOODON + UBERON + ENVO)

File Semantic IDs Total Coverage
MMP strict_final 15,464 17,658 87.6%
MMP hydrate 15,464 17,658 87.6%
kg-m strict 15,464 17,658 87.6%
kg-m hydrate 15,504 17,658 87.8%

kg-m hydrate improvement: +40 semantic IDs (+0.2%)

MMP Constituent-Level Coverage (via Expansion)

File: media_composition_expanded.tsv (Stage 12c)

Metric Value
Total entries 63,339
ChEBI IDs 61,815
ChEBI Coverage 97.6%
Semantic IDs 62,445
Semantic Coverage 98.6%

Strategy: Complex ingredient expansion (yeast extract → 34 amino acids)

Comparison: MMP achieves 97.6% ChEBI (constituent-level) vs kg-m 82.3% (ingredient-level)

Validation Status

MMP Hydrate Structure ✅

User Requirement (verified): "strict_final should be included in strict_final_hydrate, with the only differences being more specific hydrate forms"

Verification:

  • MD5 of mapped IDs (col 3): IDENTICAL between strict_final and hydrate
  • 8 line diffs found: All cosmetic (trailing tabs from 3 extra columns)
  • Core mappings: 100% preserved ✅

kg-m Hydrate Structure ⚠️

Observed: kg-m hydrate ENHANCES base mappings (+40 semantic IDs)

Implication: kg-m uses hydrate creation as opportunity to upgrade biological ingredient mappings

Valid?: Yes, but different philosophy (enhancement vs extension)

Recommendations

For Current Use

  1. Use MMP files for production: Stable, deterministic, fully documented
  2. MMP strict_final = kg-m strict: Guaranteed compatibility
  3. MMP hydrate: Use when hydrate-specific ChEBI IDs needed (1,130 compounds)
  4. MMP expanded: Use for constituent-level analysis (97.6% ChEBI)

For FOODON Coverage Improvement

Short-term (could recover ~10-15 FOODON IDs):

  1. Add ENVO fallback search in OAK mapper
  2. Expand synonym dictionary (soybean→soya, maize→corn, etc.)
  3. Review generic fallback strategy (currently maps specific broths → generic "broth")

Medium-term (could recover ~20-25 FOODON IDs):

  1. Submit missing terms to FOODON: generic peptone, trypticase, polypeptone
  2. Implement multi-ontology ranking (prefer specific over generic)
  3. Add confidence scoring (exact: 1.0, normalized: 0.9, generic: 0.6)

Long-term (potential +10-20% coverage):

  1. Machine learning fallback for unmapped ingredients
  2. Interactive curation interface for human review
  3. Automated FOODON term request generation

For Architecture Alignment

Option 1: Keep current MMP approach (extension)

  • ✅ Cleaner separation (base vs hydrate)
  • ✅ No risk of base mapping regressions
  • ✅ Expansion provides superior coverage (97.6%)

Option 2: Adopt kg-m approach (enhancement)

  • ✅ Hydrate file as single source of truth
  • ✅ Biological mappings integrated
  • ⚠️ Requires careful regression testing

Recommendation: Keep current MMP approach + improve OAK mapper coverage
