Abstract
Proteomics has become an important part of the characterization of biological systems or single organisms. In this chapter, background relating to proteomics studies including definitions, instrumentation, and basic as well as more complex workflows for protein extraction and identification with different instrumental techniques and bioinformatics tools are described. The application of proteomics in biodegradation is described in terms of selected research studies covering typical approaches: gel-free and gel-based as well as qualitative and quantitative comparative proteomics workflows and metaproteomics read more ...
