Multi-omic analyses can provide a great deal of information on the potential for activity within a microbial community but often lack specificity to link functions to cell and primarily offer potential for function, not true expression of function. Functional assays are necessary for understanding in situ microbial activity to better describe and improve microbiome biology. Targeting enzyme activity through activity-based protein profiling enhances the accuracy of functional studies. Here, we introduce PhenoSelection, a pipeline of coupling activity-based probing with fluorescence-activated cell sorting and downstream activity assays to isolate and examine viable populations of cells expressing a function of interest. We applied PhenoSelection to a soil microbiome to enrich for communities with elevated activity for lignocellulose-degradation phenotypes. PhenoSelection was able to separate and identify taxonomic members with activity for glycosyl hydrolases, and expanding to various probes for other function, this process can be applied to unique phenotypes of interest.
