π¦ Microbes/micro-organisms
Microbes/micro-organisms are mostly microscopic creatures that are placed in different groups such bacteria, fungi, protozoa, micro-algae, and viruses. Microbes live in familiar settings such as soil, water, food, and animal intestines, as well as in more extreme settings such as rocks, glaciers, hot springs, and deep-sea vents.

π Benefits of microbes
Men used some of microbial diversity in the production of fermented foods such as bread, yogurt, and cheese. Some soil microbes release nitrogen that plants need for growth and emit gases that maintain the critical composition of the Earth's atmosphere.
Other microbes challenge the food supply by causing yield-reducing diseases in food-producing plants and animals. In our bodies, different microbes help to digest food, ward off invasive organisms, and engage in fights and battles with the human immune system in the give-and-take of the natural disease process.

π Benefits of genomes
Obtaining the complete genome sequence of a microbe provides crucial information about its biology, but it is only the first step toward understanding a microbe's biological capabilities and modifying them leads to breakthroughs such as improved vaccines and better disease-diagnostic tools, improved microbial agents for biological control of plant and animal pests, modifications of plant and animal pathogens for reduced virulence, development of new industrial substances and fermentation organisms, and development of new microbial agents for bioremediation of contaminated soil and water.
