There is no question that the development of molecular biology has had a tremendous impact on biological sciences—among many other aspects and in our context, a fundamentally new understanding of the phylogeny of microbial organisms and also in unravelling complexes of sibling species. But it is not—as some seem to believe—a substitute for organismal biology: the study of phenotypic traits and the environment in which the different organisms live, which is our purpose with the book: microbial ecology is more than just SSU ribosomal DNA sequencing.
