Preface Considering the fact that microbes are by far the most abundant organisms on earth, there is no doubt that microbes and their activities are important to almost all processes on our planet. They affect all aspects of human life, as they are ubiquitously present in the environment and human microbiota, and contribute to human health and disease. Therefore, it is not surprising that microorganisms and microbiota are the focus of research to understand their physiology. The understanding of metabolic processes, stress adaptation, and survival strategies will lead to optimal conditio
