“…Due to global warming, the sea ice habitats are shifting and also causing a shift in microbial diversity of these ecosystems, and therefore monitoring the changing dynamics of endemic microbial diversity becomes extremely important [8]. The endemic microbes isolated from the Arctic have been reported to be enriched in hydrocarbon biodegradation potential [9]. In addition to having varied metabolic capabilities, the Arctic soils have been recently reported to harbor antimicrobial resistance genes and virulence factors that differ from previously identified genes [10].…”

A rigorous exploration of microbial diversity has revealed its presence on Earth, deep oceans, and vast space. The presence of microbial life in diverse environmental conditions, ranging from moderate to extreme temperature, pH, salinity, oxygen, radiations, and altitudes, has provided the necessary impetus to search for them by extending the limits of their habitats. Microbiology started as a distinct science in the mid-nineteenth century and has provided inputs for the betterment of mankind during the last 150 years. As beneficial microbes are assets and pathogens are detrimental, studying both have its own merits. Scientists are nowadays working on illustrating the microbial dynamics in Earth's subsurface, deep sea, and polar & Vipin Chandra Kalia
