Metabolome-Proteome Differentiation Coupled to Microbial Divergence

ABSTRACT Tandem high-throughput proteomics and metabolomics were employed to functionally characterize natural microbial biofilm communities. Distinct molecular signatures exist for each analyzed sample. Deconvolution of the high-resolution molecular data demonstrates that identified proteins and de...
