microbiología, sostenibilidad, investigaciónResumen
La orientación de la microbiología hacia la búsqueda del desarrollo sostenible tiene al menos dos implicaciones: i) la investigación en microbiología tiene el fin último de hacer que las sociedades logren la convergencia de prosperidad económica, bienestar social y protección ambiental, y ii) los microorganismos deben ser utilizados para mejorar la adaptabilidad socioecológica de las actividades humanas. El panorama actual de la investigación en microbiología relacionada con el desarrollo sostenible muestra que las investigaciones se han concentrado en problemas y temas de carácter agro-pecuario-industrial y aquellos relacionados con generación de energía; y en el uso de los microorganismos que incluye: el monitoreo de ecosistemas, la biodegradación de contaminantes, y el aprovechamiento de residuos. No obstante, a pesar de que estos usos son indispensables para que la microbiología contribuya al desarrollo sostenible, es necesario resolver otros retos que no son fáciles de detectar en los estudios que observan el desarrollo de la microbiología. Existen al menos tres retos: el primero es explorar la micro-biodiversidad para ampliar las alternativas de transformación de actividades humanas, particularmente las industriales; el segundo es analizar la sostenibilidad de las actividades humanas que incorporan microorganismos con el fin de hacerlas más sostenibles y, el tercero, formar microbiólogos para la sostenibilidad.
