Microbial Ecology and Evolution

---

Microbial ecology and evolution is the study of how microorganisms interact with their environment, including other microorganisms, plants, and animals. Microbial communities are highly diverse and dynamic, with complex interactions that shape their structure and function. Microbial ecology and evolution research seeks to understand the mechanisms underlying these interactions, including the role of genetic variation, horizontal gene transfer, and ecological niches. Advances in microbial ecology and evolution research have led to new insights into the mechanisms of microbial adaptation and diversification, as well as the potential applications of these microorganisms in various fields, including biotechnology and environmental remediation.
