Summary: Although we have gained extensive understanding of the diversity of microbial life on earth through culture-independent metagenomic DNA sequence analyses, the isolation and cultivation of microbes is still crucial for direct study and confirmation of their functions and roles. However, the majority of environmental microbes remain uncultured, making it a priority to culture these rare or poorly characterized groups in order to further understand microbiome functions. Additionally, cultivated isolates may have various applications such as new probiotics, biocontrol agents, and industrial processes. The increasing availability of metagenomic and meta-transcriptomic sequence information allows for more opportunities to guide the isolation and cultivation of microbes of interest.
