Overview of biomarkers tentative assignment of MALDI-TOF-MS mass signals of B. pumilus group species.

Protein identity was determined by the TagIdent software and compared with ribosomal subunit proteins developed by Hotta et al. [23] described in Materials and Methods section.aSASP - Small, acid-soluble spore protein.bRP – Ribosomal protein.cOrganism – bacterial strain where the protein was described.NA – not applicable.*Predicted molecular weight (Mw) proposed by Hotta et al. [27], considering “N-end rule” [28] where N-terminal methionine is cleaved from specific penultimate amino acid residues such as glycine, alanine, serine, proline, valine, threonine and cysteine.Overview of biomarkers tentative assignment of MALDI-TOF-MS mass signals of B. pumilus group species.
