Microorganisms dominate the planet in terms of total biomass, species diversity, and metabolic range. They include pathogens and microbes that benefit higher organisms. They are extremely versatile in terms of the types of chemicals they consume and where they live. Many are of enormous present and future economic value. A microorganism's genome sequence identifies the order of bases in its entire genetic complement and provides a framework for understanding how the organism functions and lives. Microorganisms have significant impacts--some good and some bad--on U.S. agriculture, natural resources, and food safety. CSREES supports research on microbial genomics to better understand how microorganisms live and how they can be manipulated for our benefit.
