Introduction
Currently, a total of 4700 validly published prokaryotic species are recognized (as of July 2002; DSMZ, 2002; Euzéby, 2001; Fig. 1). In contrast, the number of bacterial species present in just one type of forest soil has been estimated to be 13,000 or even 53,000 species (Torsvik et al., 1994; Sandaa et al., 1999). In light of these more recent findings, the earlier estimate of the fraction of already cultured bacterial species of 20% (Wayne et al., 1987) appears to be much too optimistic. This view is also supported by numerous molecular investigations of 16S rRNA gene sequences in natural bacterial assemblages that indicate a significant fraction of bacteria present in the environment has not yet been recovered by cultivation-based approaches (Fuhrman et al., 1992; Ward et al., 1992; Barns et al., 1994; DeLong et al., 1994; Hiorns et al., 1997; Kuske et al., 1997; Ludwig et al., 1997; Suzuki et al., 1997; Gich et al., 2001; Béjà et al., 2002). The 16S rRNA gene...
