Microbial diversity in extreme environments
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2021A wide array of microorganisms, including many novel, phylogenetically deeply rooted taxa, survive and thrive in extreme environments. These unique and reduced-complexity ecosystems offer a tremendous opportunity for studying the structure, function and evolution of natural microbial communities.

Tapping into microbial diversity
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2004Even though significant advances have been made in understanding microbial diversity, most microorganisms are still only characterized by 'molecular fingerprints' and have resisted cultivation. Many different approaches have been developed to overcome the problems associated with cultivation of microorganisms because one obvious benefit would be the ...

Illuminating microbial diversity
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2017This month's Genome Watch discusses the release of 1,003 bacterial and archaeal genomes, and describes how they could increase our understanding of the diversity of microbial biological functions and contribute to improved metagenomic analyses.

This chapter explores the notion of microbial diversity. In response to the huge number of living organisms across the planet, the idea of creating taxonomies was developed for the biological classification and grouping together of organisms that share properties.

Genome diversity in microbial eukaryotes
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2004The genomic peculiarities among microbial eukaryotes challenge the conventional wisdom of genome evolution. Currently, many studies and textbooks explore principles of genome evolution from a limited number of eukaryotic lineages, focusing often on only a few representative species of plants, animals and fungi. Increasing emphasis on studies of genomes

Microbial Diversity in Archived Soils
Science, 2004A topic not covered in the recent special Section on Soils: The Final Frontier (11 June, pp. 1613–1637) is the possibility of using modern DNA-based molecular techniques to study microbial diversity in archived soil samples. Like other soil research institutes in countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and Switzerland, Alterra, as heir

Plasmids are small circular extra-chromosomal DNA molecules, which are capable of replicating independently in the genome. In order to understand the molecular epidemiology of the resistant plasmids, its analysis has become a major issue for their role in spreading of antibiotic and metal resistance genes.

Microbial genomes: dealing with diversity
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2001We have now complete genome sequences of several pairs of closely related prokaryotes (conspecific strains or congeneric species). Surprisingly, even strains of the same species can differ by as much as 20% in gene content. Conceptual and methodological approaches for dealing with such diversity are now being developed, and should transform microbial ...
