Diverse heterotrophic microbial communities in soil along with their complex web of interaction facilitate the cyclingofmicro-andmacro-nutrientsinsoilecosystem.Thedemandofsustained plant productivity is achieved through managing soil fertility. The dynamic rela- tionships between different components, living or nonliving, of agroecosystem control the richness of plants or crops. In turn, soil organic matter is influenced bytheinputsfromplantsandalsotheirchemistrymakeseachecosystemsomewhat unique in its microbial community. Though the role of soil microbiome is widely known,westillhavealimitedunderstandingofitscomplexity.Thus,understanding the microbial diversity will enhance our ability of increasing agricultural production.

Among various discoveries by Winogradsky, the father of soilmicrobiology,someofthenotablestudiesarethesulfurcycle,roleofCO and 2 inorganic ions on microbial growth (chemoautotrophy), and nitrification. He was also honored by naming one of the nitrifying bacteria species as Nitrobacter winogradskii. Nitrogen fixation can be accomplished by nonsymbiotic bacteria whichwasfirstsuggestedbyBerthelotinthelatenineteenthcentury.Soilmicrobes bringaboutthemineralizationoflittersandmakeeasyavailabilityoftheessential nutrients for the growth and development of plants and animals. It was also emphasizedthattheadditionofstablemanuretothesoilismoreeffectivethanto directadditionofinorganicnutrients. Thefixationofnitrogenbyleguminousplantsisoneofthemostimportantand well-studied microbial process. Studies on soil fungus and bacteria involved in nitrification and denitrification and chemical transformations of nitrogen in soil along with in composts, laid foundation for the modern era of soil microbiology, and all these processes have direct effect on plant growth and productivity. The overallrelationshipofsoilmicrobialpopulationwiththatofsoilfertilityalsogave rise to the concept of inoculating desired microorganisms to soil (Kuramae et al. 2012). Apart from agronomic importance of soil microbes, in 1939 S. Waksman and ReneDubosfoundasoilactinobacteria(formerlyactinomycete)Streptomycessp., with antibiotic properties. Waksman was awarded Nobel Prize in 1952 for the findingsonantimicrobialpropertiesofsoilmicrobes.Studiesontheactinobacteria of the soil by Krinsky, Conn, Waksman, and Curtis, by Melin and Hayner on mycorrhizalfungi,andonthesoilprotozoabyCutlerwidenedthepurviewofsoil microbiology. Since their discovery,soilmicrobes arewidelystudied andapplied tovariousrealmsofhumanendeavors(Balseretal.2010).
