The existence of living organisms in diverse ecosystems has been the focus of interest to human beings, primarily to obtain insights into t he diversity and dynamics of the communities. This book discusses how t he advent of novel molecular biology techniques, the latest being the n ext-generation sequencing technologies, helps to elucidate the identity of novel organisms, including those that are rare. The book highlights the fact that oceans, marine environments, rivers, mountains and the g ut are ecosystems with great potential for obtaining bioactive molecule s, which can be used in areas such as agriculture, food, medicine, wate r supplies and bioremediation. It then describes the latest research in metagenomics, a field that allows elucidation of the maximum biodivers ity within an ecosystem, without the need to actually grow and culture the organisms. Further, it describes how human-associated microbes are directly responsible for our health and overall wellbeing.
