In particle physics the letters MSSM are an abbreviation for “minimally supersymmetric standard model”: an extension of the standard model of particle physics to a model (in particle phyiscs) with a minimum amount of extra global supersymmetry.

A brief review of motivations for GUT models in heterotic string theory is in
The following articles establish the existences of exact realization of the gauge group and matter-content of the MSSM in heterotic string theory (not yet checking Yukawa couplings):

A computer search through the “landscape” of Calabi-Yau varieties showed several hundreds more such exact heterotic standard models (about one billionth of all CYs searched, and most of them arising as -GUTs)
