Metaproteomics: Much More than Measuring Gene Expression in Microbial Communities

ABSTRACT Metaproteomics is the large-scale identification and quantification of proteins from microbial communities and thus provides direct insight into the phenotypes of microorganisms on the molecular level. Initially, metaproteomics was mainly used to assess the “expressed” metabolism and physio...
