Fig 1. Identification of F. nucleatum to subspecies level by MALDI-TOF MS. (A) MALDI-TOF mass spectra of five type strains of the F. nucleatum subspecies. The upper plot shows an enlargement (6,100 to 6,500 Da) of the full mass range (3,000 to 13,000 Da), highlighting differences in peak patterns for this range. ATCC 51191, subsp. animalis; ATCC 51190, subsp. fusiforme; ATCC 49256, subsp. vincentii; ATCC 10953, subsp. polymorphum; ATCC 25586, subsp. nucleatum. (B) Cluster analysis of mass spectra of type and clinical strains of four (five) Fusobacterium nucleatum subspecies used for the amendment of the reference database. For each strain, duplicate measurements were considered.
