We face major agricultural challenges that remain a threat for global food security. Soil
microbes harbor enormous potentials to provide sustainable and economically favorable …

Microbial community structure can be analyzed by quantifying cell numbers or by quantifying
biomass for individual populations. Methods for quantifying cell numbers are already …

The phylogenetic composition of the heterotrophic microbial community is depth stratified in
the oceanic water column down to abyssopelagic layers. In the layers below the euphotic …

Metaproteomics has matured into a powerful tool to assess functional interactions in
microbial communities. While many metaproteomic workflows are available, the impact of …

Mass spectrometry-based metaproteomics has emerged as a prominent technique for
interrogating the functions of specific organisms in microbial communities, in addition to total …

Fast and accurate determination of the protein content of a sample is an important and non-
trivial task of many biochemical, biomedical, food chemical, pharmaceutical, and …

Background Research involving microbial ecosystems has drawn increasing attention in
recent years. Studying microbe-microbe, host-microbe, and environment-microbe …

Complex microbial communities in environmental systems play a key role in the
detoxification of chemical contaminants by transforming them into less active metabolites or …

Metaproteomics, the study of the collective protein composition of multi-organism systems,
