Abstract

Metaproteomics coupled to stable isotope probing (SIP) was established to detect metabolically active key players in microbial communities. Here, we discuss the current state of protein-based stable isotope probing (protein-SIP) and the perspectives of using different stable isotope atoms (i.e. 13C, 15N, 18O, 34/36S), multiple isotope labelling, the utilisation of substrates of major abundance and micro-pollutants [pesticides, herbicides and pharmaceuticals present in the environment at very low concentrations (ng μg/L)], and applications in complex model systems and in situ studies in the environment.
