Characterization of bacteria in ballast water using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.

Characterization of bacteria in ballast water using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.

To evaluate a rapid and cost-effective method for monitoring bacteria in ballast water, several marine bacterial isolates were characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Since International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations are...
