Comparing cultured isolates with MALDI-MS
Compare bacterial protein fingerprints and specialized metabolites.
How to choose a resource
MALDI profiling can connect similarity among cultured isolates with differences in their detected specialized metabolites. Protein fingerprints and small-molecule profiles answer different questions.
Use reproducible culture and acquisition conditions, replicate spectra and plate metadata. Separate putative isolate identification from chemical structure identification.
