The collection houses microbes from the sea level to 16,500 ft, from pH 5 to 11, from rainfall regions of 210mm to 11,430 mm, and from -8 degreec C to 70 degrees C covering grasslands, rain forests, lakes, caves, deserts, Glaciers, river basins, hot water, and sulfur springs and mines.

The initiative will unlock the hidden potential of microbial communities residing within Plants and develop products in the form of manure for agriculture to improve productivity and to get rid of pests.
