These are very exciting times in fundamental and applied environmental microbiology and biotechnology owing to recent advances in analytical tools and techniques to interrogate complex microbial ecosystems. These tools include quantitative DNA and RNA extraction and amplification tools, affordable large-scale DNA sequencing, and protein and proteomics analyses applicable to environmental samples. These techniques are enabling novel approaches to explore and understand the many ways microbial populations grow and interact in complex “difficult–to-study” ecosystems of global importance, such as microbial communities cycling nutrients in soils, in wastewater treatment systems, and in the human gut.

这些都是非常令人兴奋的时代，在基础和应用环境微生物学和生物技术，由于最近的进展，分析工具和技术，以询问复杂的微生物生态系统。这些工具包括定量DNA和RNA提取和扩增工具、负担得起的大规模DNA测序以及适用于环境样本的蛋白质和蛋白质组学分析。这些技术使新方法能够探索和理解微生物种群在具有全球重要性的复杂“难以研究”的生态系统中生长和相互作用的许多方式，例如微生物群落在土壤中循环营养物质，废水处理系统和人类肠道。
