Abstrakt: Bacteria are unicellular organisms with the ability to exist in the harshest of climate and cope with sub-optimal fluctuating environmental conditions. They accomplish this by modification of their internal cellular environment. When external conditions are varied, change in the cell is triggered at the transcriptional level, which usually leads to proteolysis and rewiring of the proteome. Changes in cellular homeostasis, modifications in proteome, and dynamics of such survival mechanisms can be studied using various scientific techniques. Our focus in this chapter would be on comparative proteomics of bacteria under stress conditions using approaches like 2D electrophoresis accompanied by N-terminal sequencing and recently, mass spectrometry. More than 170 such studies on bacteria have been accomplished till to date and involve analysis of whole cells as well as that of cellular fractions, i.e., outer membrane, inner membrane, cell envelope, cytoplasm, thylakoid, lipid bodies, etc. Similar studies conducted on gram-negative and gram-positive model organism, i.e., Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, respectively, have been summarized. Vital information, hypothesis about conservation of stress-specific proteome, and conclusions are also presented in the light of research conducted over the last decades.
