This chapter describes a protocol enabling analysis and characterization of fecal metaproteomes, successfully applied to human, mouse, and rat stool samples. The protocol combines mechanical and thermal treatments for protein extraction, a centrifugal filter-based procedure for cleanup and digestion, long-gradient liquid chromatography for peptide separation, and high-resolution mass spectrometry for peptide detection.
