Now, evolutionary researchers are taking advantage of their improved understanding of microbial physiology and ecology, produced by the comparative ease of microbial genomics, to explore the taxonomy and evolution of these organisms. [154] These studies are revealing unanticipated levels of diversity amongst microbes. [155] [156]
