Overview
Scientists from many countries, but only a few laboratories in each, evaluate how new tools from molecular biology, chemimetrics, computing, statistics, and other technical fields have changed the manner in which they and their colleagues explore microbial diversity and search for exploitable biology. They stray beyond microbiology at times to discuss such matters as biogeography, extinction, the value of biodiversity, and the implications of the Convention on Biological Diversity for microbial prospecting activities. A sampling of topics turns up speciation and bacterial phylospecies, culture-independent microbiology, the paradigm shift in microbial prospecting, and the Yellowstone National Park experience of contracts for bioprospecting.
