| Résumé: | 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. |
