Proteomic Unraveling of Probiotics
摘要
Proteins are the integral components of microbial cells, required for host-microbe and microbe-microbe interaction and molecular signaling. Microbial proteomics aims to study the proteins associated with structure and microbial activities, microbe-pathogen interactions, and microbial mechanisms to combat environmental stress and resistance to antibiotics, antimicrobials, and disinfectants. The proteins that constitute the outermost microbial cell wall and inner cellular content are involved in several processes including protection against stress, adhesion to receptors on host cells, and modulation of immune response.
