Microbes may be tiny, but their potential is enormous. Researchers at KAUST are using advanced molecular and metagenomic tools to better understand microbial diversity and uncover new possibilities in biotechnology, sustainability, and environmental science. By identifying previously unknown organisms, genes, and functions, these approaches are expanding what we know about life at the microscopic level — and how it can be applied to real-world challenges. 🔬 Read more: discovery.kaust.edu.sa/en/ar… #KAUST #MicrobialDiversity #Metagenomics #Biotech #Science @Rosado_AS @Jimenez_ADJ
