应用于微生物生物多样性研究的分子生态学和宏基因组学正在改变我们对生物圈的理解。古生菌、细菌和最近的原生生物的多样性令人印象深刻，分子工具已经被发现。将功能与在自然环境中观察到的系统发育多样性结合起来的努力正在导致新代谢的发现，并重新评估已知代谢的全球生态影响。有趣的问题有关的机制，在最小和最大的系统发育尺度的物种形成和进化趋势正在出现。(C)2007年，Elsevier Masson SAS。All rights reserved.
Molecular ecology and metagenomics applied to the study of microbial biodiversity are changing our comprehension of the biosphere. An impressive diversity of archaea, bacteria and, more recently, protists has been uncovered by molecular tools. Efforts to couple function to the phylogenetic diversity observed in natural environments are leading to the discovery of novel metabolisms and to a re-evaluation of the global ecological impact of known ones. Interesting questions relating to mechanisms of speciation and evolutionary trends at the smallest and largest phylogenetic scales are emerging. (C) 2007 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
