Preface Metagenomics is a key technology to the DNA-based exploration of the genomic potential from not-yet-cultivated microbes for ecology and biotechnology. Since the term “metagenome” was coined almost two decades ago, metagenomics has dramatically changed our view on many research areas such as microbial ecology, community biology, and microbiome research, and it has resulted in the rapid identification of many novel biomolecules with potential value to bio-based industrial process
