Leveraging Microbial Biodiversity for Environmental Protection
Microbial biodiversity, is a cornerstone of life on our planet. Microbes, including bacteria, archaea, viruses, protozoa and fungi, play critical roles in maintaining ecosystem health, driving biogeochemical cycles, acting as natural recyclers and supporting human life. Recently, the intersection of microbial biodiversity and environmental management has opened new avenues for addressing pressing global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, and pollution. By harnessing the unique competences of microorganisms, biologists are developing innovative solutions that are both sustainable and efficient. Environmental Applications of Microbial Biodiversity Microbes are a treasure trove of genetic and metabolic diversity. Microorganisms, the first organisms on … Continue reading
