Advances in metaproteomic profiling of molecular microbiology and environmental responses

Abstract

In the present review, the application of metaproteomics is highlighted to understand the microbial species under different environmental conditions. As the environmental conditions are changing because of natural and anthropogenic activities, the molecular microbiology of the environment is also affected. The proteins are essential molecules expressed by the microorganism under environmental stresses, which are extracted and analyzed for the studies. Metaproteomics based on the molecular microbial ecology is still at the very incipient stage but has a strong potential over other non-omics and omics methods.
