%X Microbial diversity explores the universe of microorganisms beyond classical models such as Escherichia coli, influenza virus, or Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Exploring such new microbial worlds is essential for a microbiology which needs to learn about all the scientific and practical possibilities offered by billions of years of microbial evolution. Here we illustrate some examples of how studying a wide range of microbial diversity can assist microbiology as a fundamental and a practical science.
