Status of the Microbial Census

Summary
It is not possible to estimate the total number of bacterial species on Earth, but the minimum species richness is 35,498, and the data support previous calls for extensive surveys of multiple chemically disparate environments and of specific phylogenetic groups to advance the census most rapidly.
