Development of an analytical method for the metaproteomic investigation of bioaerosol from work environments
The metaproteomic analysis of air particulate matter provides valuable information about the properties of bioaerosols in the atmosphere and their influence on climate and public health. In this work, a new method for the extraction and analysis of proteins in airborne particulate matter from quartz microfiber filters was developed. Different protein extraction procedures were tested to select the best extraction protocol based on protein recovery.
