Abstract
The culture-independent approaches can contribute to untold properties of microorganisms. The host and microbe interactions explored through the metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metaproteomics approaches reveal the function of the ecosystem. The extremophilic communities can be detected by screening of genes, proteins, and enzymes directly from the environmental samples based on the marker genes and reference species. Evaluation of the host–microbe interaction based on models and libraries generates hidden metabolic pathways to explore the types of interactions. The identification of the unfamiliar microbial species based on functions and sequences of the host–microbe interaction opens new arena of the adaptation in extreme ecosystems, including saline habitats.
