Question
Chapter 24.3, Problem 16AYP
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The change of view of deep subsurface and oceanic
Concept introduction:
The analysis of the genome of microbes directly by extracting DNA and cloning DNA from a collection of DNA of microorganisms is termed as metagenomics. The genomic content of microbes is studied without culturing them.

In the following examples we will see how their community succession changes the entire system. Going from the ecosystems that we picture in our minds: -forest landscapes and such- to our gut microbiome or even the artificial ecosystems created to produce food like wine or tea, microbes are everywhere. The first example is from: Development of microbial community during primary succession in areas degraded by mining activities "During open-cast coal mining, large amounts of spoil material overlying coal layers are excavated and deposited aboveground. This process leads to land degradation because it destroys the existing ecosystems or buries them under the deposited spoil material, which is a substrate with very low initial biological activity (Frouz & Nováková, 2005).
