Area of Science:

  • Soil microbiology
  • Environmental biotechnology
  • Molecular ecology

Background:

  • Ecophysiological and molecular biological studies of soil microorganisms are well-developed.
  • Research includes critical investigations into the fate and transport of genetically-modified microorganisms.
  • These studies contribute to understanding global change and xenobiotic catabolism in soil.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state and future directions of soil microorganism research.
  • To highlight the potential of managing indigenous soil biota over inundative inoculation.
  • To emphasize the prospects of environmental diagnostics, including biosensors, for human and environmental protection.

Main Methods:

  • Ecophysiological investigations

    • Main Results:

    • Inundative inoculation procedures have not met early expectations.
    • Management of indigenous or intrinsic soil biota presents greater opportunities.
    • Environmental diagnostics, particularly novel biosensors, show significant promise.

    Conclusions:

    • Future research should focus on managing native soil microbial communities.
    • Novel biosensors offer a promising avenue for environmental diagnostics.
    • Continued investigation is crucial for understanding soil microbial roles in global change and bioremediation.
