Environmental diversity of bacteria and archaea.

Systematic biology - 1 Aug 2001

DeLong E F, Pace N R

Abstract excerpt

The microbial way of life spans at least 3.8 billion years of evolution. Microbial organisms are pervasive, ubiquitous, and essential components of all ecosystems. The geochemical composition of Earth's biosphere has been molded largely by microbial activities. Yet, despite the predominance of microbes during the course of life's history, general principles and theory of microbial evolution and ecology are not...
