Abstract

Ecological role of majority of microorganisms including bacteria, archaea and fungi, as well as viruses, is so important that life on Earth would not be possible without them. These microbes interact together with their environment in a very complex way that often defines the community structure and their ecological function. Further due to their extremely small size, there is a huge gap between the present knowledge and predictions. Recent advances in molecular biology especially in the DNA sequencing technology have provided more opportunities for comprehensive studies of these multifaceted microbes in agroecosystems. This chapter focuses on various recent molecular and sequencing techniques used to study microbial diversity.
