The availability of extensive genome information for many different microbes, including unculturable species in mixed communities from environmental samples, has enabled systems-biology interrogation by providing a means to access genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic information. To this end, metaproteomics exploits the power of high-performance mass spectrometry for extensive characterization of the complete suite of proteins expressed by a microbial community in an environmental sample.
