Sumario:Microorganisms have been shown to be the most versatile living organisms on Earth due to their multifunctional abilities. The promise of these organisms as biological resources was recognized by the discoverer of these organisms, Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhock, often called “The Father of Microbiology”. Eubacteria, an important group of microorganisms, embodies diverse organisms that colonize and survive in a variety of habitats in natural environment, and are an important source of primary and secondary metabolites that are valuable to many industries. These organisms also play an important role in recycling of organic matter, biodegradation, bioreme diation, waste management, and many other applications. India’s terrestrial, marine, and other aquatic ecosystems offer high diversity of biological forms. Goa, a tiny state on the central west coast of India, with an area of 3702 sq. km, harbors many coastal and estuarine ecosystems, including low-nu trient sand dunes, nutrient-rich mangroves, beaches, rivers, etc. These ecosystems support an impressively diverse array of microorganisms.
