Microbial diversity and the genetic nature of microbial species [PDF]
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2008 The earth contains a huge number of largely uncharacterized Bacteria and Archaea. Microbiologists are struggling to summarize their genetic diversity and classify them, which has resulted in heated debates on methods for defining species, mechanisms that lead to speciation and whether microbial species even exist. This Review proposes that decisions on

Marine microbial diversity [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 Invisible to the naked eye, yet dominating life with some 1030 cells, bacteria and archaea (referred to herein as 'microbes') play key roles in the global cycling of nutrients, matter and energy in our oceans. Having experimented for over 3.5 billion years since their first appearance, they are true master chemists that are capable of carrying out the ...

Microbial Diversity for Biotechnology 2014 [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2015 The focus of this special issue is the characterization of the microbial diversity and the development of potential biotechnological applications. Despite the great importance of microbes, only a small fraction has been able to be cultivated in the laboratory. It is now clear that molecular techniques have played a significant role in the detection and

Giving microbial diversity a home [PDF]
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2009 Efforts to house environmental microbial culture collections, resources and data are lagging behind the speed of discovery in the scientific community. Emerson and Wilson explain the need to increase the investment in biological resource centres to meet this growing challenge.

Diversity of Microbial Metal Sulfide Biomineralization
ChemPlusChem, 2021 AbstractSince the emergence of life on Earth, microorganisms have contributed to biogeochemical cycles. Sulfate‐reducing bacteria are an example of widespread microorganisms that participate in the metal and sulfur cycles by biomineralization of biogenic metal sulfides.

The underestimation of global microbial diversity [PDF]
mBio, 2016 In a recent commentary, Amann and Rosselló-Mórab summarize how the census of Bacteria and Archaea has changed over time (1). For decades, the number of recognized microbial taxa was underestimated owing to limitations associated with culture-based methods and the rules of nomenclature.

Microbial Diversity of Marine Sponges [PDF]
, 2003 The recent application of molecular microbial ecology tools to sponge-microbe associations has revealed a glimpse into the biodiversity of these microbial communities, that is considered just 'the tip of the iceberg'. This chapter provides an overview over these new findings with regard to identity, diversity and distribution patterns of sponge ...
