Abstract

Nature is bountiful of microbes and fungi which form backbone for mankind. Only 5 to 70% of microbes and fungi are available in the form of cultures/germplasm. There is a need to unearth the hidden microbial and fungal wealth using innovative methods. Aspects and prospects of microbial genetic resources are discussed in this manuscript.
