<p>We describe the animal species identification of meat using MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy including the development and validation of a reliable method, qualified for use in the accredited official food-control laboratory.</p> <p>Previous publications had shown the potential of MALDI-TOF MS for animal species differentiation of several kind of food, including meat. Our aim was to establish a rapid and reliable method by means of a simplified sample preparation without prior tryptic digest, an existing popular MALDI system, an independent extensive reference database, and an adequate validation concept. In contrast to the previous works, we consequently use the MALDI user platform “MALDI-UP” to give other food control laboratories the possibility of exchanging reference and validation spectra.<br></p>

In this study, the second-generation high-throughput sequencing and DNA barcoding were combined to manually prepare multi-species mixed samples, and the mitochondrial gene CO І was used as a barcode to simultaneously identify the animal species in the mixed samples and identify endangered species. The results showed that under the family and genus level, the simultaneous detection rate of the species in the mixed samples was as high as 100%, and the species identification rate was as high as 89% at the species level, and with high sensitivity, as little as 1% of the trace species could be detected. However, nearly 30% of non-target classification annotations appeared at the species level. It can be concluded that the mini CO I barcoding can be applied to the simultaneous identification of animal species in mixed biological samples, and the species identification rate is high. Non-target classification match existing at the species level can be further improved by increasing the length of the barcoding, improving the sequencing technology, reference database and so on. In this study, DNA metabarcoding technology was used to evaluate the feasibility of identification of endangered animals in multi-species mixed biological samples with CO І, in order to lay a preliminary foundation for the advancement of DNA metabarcoding method in the field of wildlife forensic identification.

Gastric helicobacters (Helicobacter (H.) pylori and non-H. pylori Helicobacter species (NHPHs)) colonize the stomach of humans and/or animals. Helicobacter species identification is essential since many of them are recognized as human and/or animal pathogens. Currently, Helicobacter species can only be differentiated using molecular methods. Differentiation between NHPHs using MALDI-TOF MS has not been described before, probably because these species are poorly represented in current MALDI-TOF MS databases. Therefore, we identified 93 gastric Helicobacter isolates of 10 different Helicobacter species using MALDI-TOF MS in order to establish a more elaborate Helicobacter reference database. While the MALDI Biotyper database was not able to correctly identify any of the isolates, the in-house database correctly identified all individual mass spectra and resulted in 82% correct species identification based on the two highest log score matches (with log scores ≥2). In addition, a dendrogram was constructed using all newly created main spectrum profiles. Nine main clusters were formed, with some phylogenetically closely related Helicobacter species clustering closely together and well-defined subclusters being observed in specific species. Current results suggest that MALDI-TOF MS allows rapid differentiation between gastric Helicobacter species, provided that an extensive database is at hand and variation due to growth conditions and agar-medium-related peaks are taken into account.

The phylogeny of the Stenogastrinae wasps is still under discussion and their systematic incomplete. In the present work we used geometric morphometrics, a technique based on a rigorous statistical assessment of shape, to compare the forewings of fifteen species of Stenogastrinae wasps belonging to four different genera to ascertain whether this approach may be used as a reliable method in the study of the taxonomy of the group. The results show that the wing vein junctions can be diagnostic for both genus and species identification. For the first time in this subfamily, we propose a phylogenetic classification of the species based on wing morphology that largely agrees with the cladistic data available at genus level and reflects the differences among species in terms of nesting material and architecture of their nest.
