Soil is an important link between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere for material and energy exchange. The soil not only contains a large number of chemical elements such as carbon and nitrogen, but also contains many microorganisms. Generally, the number of bacteria in soil microbes is the largest. The beneficial bacteria include nitrogen-fixing bacteria, nitrifying bacteria and saprophytic bacteria. The harmful bacteria include denitrifying bacteria and others.
In the past 30 years, with the emergence of various advanced physical and chemical methods, especially the exponential development of high-throughput sequencing technology, soil microbiology has become a growth point and cross-frontier of earth sciences and life sciences. Soil microbiome is one of the core resources in the fields of industrial and agricultural production, medicine and health, and environmental protection. It has become a strategic highland for a new round of scientific and technological revolution.
The main research directions of soil microbes including,
For the detection of different types of microbes, microbial diversity and related tests are mainly divided into the following detection services, namely amplicon sequencing, metagenomic testing, functional gene sequencing, and quantitative microbial testing, etc.
