The filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus has become the most important airborne fungal pathogen causing life‐threatening infections in immunosuppressed patients. We established a 2‐D reference map for A. fumigatus . Using MALDI‐TOF‐MS/MS, we identified 381 spots representing 334 proteins. Proteins involved in cellular metabolism, protein synthesis, transport processes and cell cycle were most abundant. Furthermore, we established a protocol for the isolation of mitochondria of A. fumigatus and developed a mitochondrial proteome reference map. 147 proteins represented by 234 spots were identified.
