Introduction
Exploring microbial ecosystems is essential for understanding the diverse roles that microorganisms play in various environments, including soil, water, and the human body. These ecosystems are fundamental to nutrient cycling, biodegradation, and maintaining health. Investigating microbial ecosystems may eventually contribute to a better understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.
This collection includes recorded presentations from the EMBL-EBI webinar series, “Exploring Microbial Ecosystems,” along with other relevant on-demand training materials. These resources cover a wide range of topics in microbiome research and highlight the methods and tools useful for studying the interaction between microorganisms and their surroundings.
