Abstract

Marine ecosystems continue to be a mystery. Metaproteomic is the large-scale characterization of the complete protein complex in environmental microbiota at a particular point in time. Although the use of Metaproteome in marine environments is still in its infancy, numerous researchers have used metaproteomic analysis on a wide range of animals, water, and sediments. The use of metaproteomic analysis on seawater and organisms allows for the molecular interpretation of cell phenotypic information as well as the identification of changes in the expression of individual genes. Some metaproteomic studies that were done on marine organisms were briefly reviewed here, with an emphasis on those using alternative omics methodologies rather than metaproteomic approaches. We also reviewed challenges that metaproteomic research faces, as well as potential solutions.
