Summary Introduction
To determine:
The process by which scientists know that there are millions of species of bacteria and of archaea if most have never been cultured in a lab.
Concept introduction:
The analysis of genome of microbes directly by extracting DNA and cloning DNA from collection of DNA of microorganisms is termed as metagenomics. The genomic content of microbes is studied without culturing them.
