MaldiGut is a reference database that contains mass spectrum profiles (MSPs) and is especially focused on human gut bacterial species. This database can be used to analyze mass spectrometry data of bacterial species obtained with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation coupled to a time-of-flight analyzer (MALDI-TOF MS).
This database contains 132 MSPs in total of bacteria that are isolated from human fecal samples:
- 125 Firmicutes species.
- 3 Bacteroidetes species.
- 3 Actinobacteria species.
- 1 Verrucomicrobia species.
The database is provided as .btmsp format, which is only compatible with Bruker Daltonics mass spectrometry software.
