Maintenance of soil health is central to agricultural sustainability and a key factor that reflects the productivity of agro ecosystems. However, at present the soil resources are under severe threats from various anthropogenic activities. The soil microbiota plays important and undisputable roles in biogeochemical cycling, plant growth and carbon sequestration. Modern genomic approaches are essential for identification of uncultivated diversity and finding shifts in the soil bacterial community. The present project collects information regarding the composition of microbial community in different soils.
