Abstract
A method of isotope-labelling a microbiota sample. It involves providing a first microbiota sample that was obtained from a given source; exposing the first microbiota sample to an isotope enriched medium; and culturing the exposed first microbiota sample in the isotope enriched medium to obtain an isotope-labelled microbiota sample, wherein the isotope labelled metaproteome of the isotope-labelled microbiota sample is taxon specific for taxa present in the first microbiota sample when initially obtained from the given source.

1-62. (canceled)
A method of high throughput screening of multiple microbiota samples for meta-omic analysis of said samples comprising:
- providing a plurality of microbiota samples in culture;
- performing a pre-screening using a meta-omic technique to identify changes in microbiomes of said microbiota samples;
- selecting said microbiomes exhibiting predetermined changes;
- and
- analyzing the selected microbiomes to characterize the changes.
