Hi All,
This is just the tool we need to totaly validate all the benifites of carbon to the soil, and just in time:

Metagenomics Defined
Genomics will help explain the microbial world.
By Ed DeLong
"Conventional genomic research on microörganisms determines the DNA sequences of individual microbes by examining cultivated strains. In metagenomics, DNA sequence information is extracted from entire microbial communities in situ."
"The *majority of extant microbial species and their behaviors therefore represent a vast biological terra incognita. Meta*genomic approaches, which sidestep the need to purify and cultivate individual microbial strains, make it easier to retrieve genome sequence information from elusive microbial species. A second, and perhaps more important, point is that microbial species do not generally occur as single strains or pure cultures. Rather, any given microbial assemblage can consist of hundreds of different species, each one displaying significant genetic variability. The biological meaning and functional consequences of this tremendous within- and between-species biodiversity remain obscure. Metagenomic approaches enable direct assessment of community diversity and provide data sets relevant to both measuring and modeling biological processes."
"The study of anthropogenic effects on microbial processes that regulate the mass balance of planetary carbon and nitrogen cycles will also benefit from metagenomics."

He hints all around the problems that TP seems to solve. I plan to send him my TP links

I think I'm going to use this title for my next compilation and updated TP posting/article;

What ya think?................. and of course, feel free, as with all I write, to plagiarize, cut and paste, whatever, to get this technology seen and heard.
