Much of Earth's biosphere—from the deep ocean to atmospheric bioaerosols—remains unexplored, with the microbial majority largely uncharted. Advancing new exploration technologies and systematically cataloging the Earth's microbiome could unlock discoveries of new life forms and biological insights t...
