ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Microbes are microscopic, unicellular or multicellular organisms that are everywhere in the environment, including in the soil, air, in and on our bodies and in extreme environments like hot springs. They can be good or bad: Some make us sick, others help us digest food; still others are used for decomposing and recycling nutrients at a global scale. They also are a valuable resource of novel metabolic abilities useful for pharmaceuticals and industrial processes.
How complex are these communities and how are they changing?
Because of the difficulty in studying so many organisms, community fingerprinting techniques, essentially looking at the problem at a much lower resolution can be used to monitor bacterial complexity, the relative abundance and dynamics of these microscopic communities at a landscape level in the real world.
"Microbial organisms are much more diverse than we ever imagined. We are just beginning to understand how vast that diversity might be."
