Toxicoproteomic approaches for analysis of microbial community inhabiting Asian dust particles

[摘要] In this review, we provide an overview of the bio-analytical approaches for proteomic analysis of Asian dust storms. Asian dust has been known to travel with high-speed eastward winds and affects air quality over Japan and even the western coast of the U.S. during severe occurrences. Several reports have shown that Asian dust particles have a negative effect on a wide range of industries and human health activities. Here we give a short overview of Asian dust feature and its proteomic analysis approaches including 2-DE PAGE, metaproteomic analysis of large environmental samples, and automatic techniques for dust microbial analysis. Following this, we discuss the detection system of Asian dust particles that can be integrated with biosensor platform.
