Fungi-based proteomics

Precision Proteomics Services


Fungi is a vast point of interest for research as they are an essential organism in the production and discovery of new antibiotics. They also produce a vast abundance of interesting proteins, such as digestive enzymes for detergents. Fungi play a crucial role in the decomposition of organic matter and can be found living in symbiosis with plants, animals, insects, and parasites.

Fungi have a significant two-sided impact on society, e.g., fungal diseases and spoilage course losses of crops. Still, fungi are also used as biological pesticides. Fungi's production of bioactive compounds called mycotoxins, including alkaloids and polyketides, is important for several industries, such as food, detergent, and pharmaceutical, to understand the underlying biological processes. Fungi biology is also essential for understanding and modulating fermentation and recombinant proteins production. Here proteomics provides a vital inside to the biological mechanisms and relevant processes.

We invite you to an online consultation, during which we can address your questions and offer an expert assessment of how our fungi-based proteomics strategies can be customized to meet your research goals.


Sample preparation and sample analysis

Extracting the proteins from your fungi samples

Proteomics can be used in a variety of different ways to extract information about fungal processes, products, or effects. The various methods provide a vast, diverse amount of opportunities and limitations. At Biogenity, we guide you through the options so we together can find the correct approach to answer your research questions.

Fungi can create various structures, microenvironments and have different membrane properties, all of which can challenge protein extraction. At Biogenity, your samples will be handled by experienced personnel who know which methods are needed to extract the proteins from your fungi samples.

State-of-the-art mass spectrometry for fungal proteomes

Once the proteins are extracted, your fungal samples are analyzed by LC-MS/MS on state-of-the-art mass spectrometers from Thermo Fisher Scientific, giving deep and reproducible proteome coverage.

We are happy to guide you through the instrument options, so you get the sensitivity you need for studies of, e.g., fermentation, enzyme discovery or mycotoxin research.

Data analysis, including report, figures, and tables

Data analysis for fungi-based proteomics

Data analysis is where you get your overview. You will receive an easy-to-follow report describing the data analysis of your fungi-based proteomics samples and results hereof, step-by-step, together with a folder containing all tables and figures. To ensure that you have the material needed, we always provide a vast number of figures and tables.



From regulated proteins to biological insight

Biogenity’s data analysis identifies the regulated proteins in your fungal samples and puts them in a biological context, e.g., enriched pathways and processes, supporting studies of fungal biology, bioactive compounds and production systems.

Delivery and discussion

Delivery, post-consultation and discussion

At the conclusion of our fungi-based proteomics analysis, we ensure a seamless transition from discovery to application. We deliver detailed reports and data, followed by a post-delivery consultation to discuss your study's insights and findings.


What to expect during post-consultation:

  • Explanation of the different steps in the sample analysis
  • Discussion of the data
  • Explanation of the different steps in the data analysis
  • Q&A to the report(s)

Together, we ensure that you have the best prerequisite for your further research. The consultation can also be used to explore the next step, whether you are looking to expand the project with additional omics studies or validate the results.
