    biotechnological significance. As part of our microbiology course, PLU students and I examine microbial communities in various soils collected from the Pacific Northwest. Because only 1% or less of Earth’s bacteria has been successfully cultured in the laboratory, we compare culture-dependent and culture-independent techniques, including many molecular tools, to assess the diversity of various environmental niches. Mike Behrens My research interests include ecology and biogeography, primarily in aquatic
