Activity-targeted metaproteomics uncovers rare syntrophic bacteria central to anaerobic community metabolism - Nature Microbiology

An approach combining BONCAT, stable isotope probing and metaproteomics showcases the hidden metabolic interconnectivity of microorganisms within an anaerobic digestion community.

Very excited to finally have my thesis work out in the world! Hopefully it just got easier to understand the role of specific microbes in complex communities, even when they are really rare!

Nice work by @ryanziels.bsky.social lab that combines BONCAT, FACS, and genome-resolved metaproteomics using affinity capture of newly made proteins.

I’m very happy this is finally out! Here, we showcase the combination of BONCAT and SIP metaproteomics to uncover rare and active microbes driving anaerobic acetate turnover. We are excited to see what other microbial metabolisms and ecosystems this approach can help to illuminate! 🦠

Are you interested in microbes that are rare but active? We combined BONCAT with SIP and metaproteomics to improve the recovery of labeled proteins from such microbes. In this case, it illuminated a new anaerobic syntrophic acetate-oxidizing bacterium. tinyurl.com/a8j29dsr #microbiomesky #microsky
