Identification and Characterization of Marine Microorganisms by Tandem Mass Spectrometry Proteotyping.

ABSTRACT: The vast majority of marine microorganisms and their functions are yet to be explored. The considerable diversity they encompass is an endless source of knowledge and wealth that can be valued on an industrial scale, emphasizing the need to develop rapid and efficient identification and characterization techniques. In this study, we identified 26 microbial isolates from coastal water of the NW Mediterranean Sea, using phylopeptidomics, a cutting-edge tandem mass spectrometry proteotyping technique. Taxonomical identification at the species level was successfully conducted for all isolates. The presence of strains belonging to the newly described Balneolaeota phylum, yet uncharacterized at the proteomics scale, was noted. The very first proteomics-based investigation of a representative of
