Abstract
快速发展的测序技术和各种高通量手段使我们能够深入探索环境微生物的多样性及其功能.本文中提及的环境微生物组(environmental microbiome)界定为特定环境中所有微生物基因组的集合.环境微生物组研究的主要目的是解读特定环境中微生物的多样性、结构、功能、相互作用和进化,以及它们与环境因子和生态系统功能之间的关系等.本文重点关注土壤、水体及空气中的微生物组研究,回顾了目前的高通量测序技术和主要的环境微生物组学数据分析工具,然后综述了不同的生态环境中微生物组研究的主要的进展,最后,提出了环境微生物组研究中的关键科学问题,并突出了在未来环境微生物组研究中微生物功能和生态机制的重要性.
Currently developed sequencing and other high throughput technologies enable us to explore the role of microorganisms in the environment.Here environmental microbiome is defined as the collection of microbial genomes in a particular environment,and the environmental microbiome research (or environmental microbiomics) aims to understand the biodiversity,composition,structure,function,interaction,evolution and dynamics of microbial communities as well as their linkages with environmental drivers and ecosystem functioning.This review is focused on environmental microbiomes from soil,water and air.Firstly,the current advanced sequencing technologies and associated tools for environmental microbiome data analysis are reviewed,then the current research progress in environmental microbiomes were summarized with loci on addressing key scientific questions in microbial ecology and environmental science.This review proposes key scientific questions,and highlights the importance of our understanding of microbial functions and underlying mechanisms in future environmental microbiome studies.
