The morphological and physiological dissimilarities between mycorrhizal symbi-o.ses probably determine their success and their distinct patterns in different ecosystems (92). Nitrogen (N) available to both AM and ectomycorrhizal plants should not be regarded as a single pool open to free competition. Specialization of its acquisition and utilization in a given habitat is an important feature of plant and microbial community structure, while the fact that the ability to exploit its sources (and tho.se of other limited nutrients) is not the same in all species may result in niche differentiation (93). If habitat specialization is a reflection of differences between mycorrhizal types, ectomycorrhizal and AM species could cooccur because they exploit different niches in the. same ecosystem.

The performance of a biotreatment system ultimately depends on optimization of the activity of microbes and the ability to control the process parameters of the treatment system [157]. In this respect, the ability to monitor gene copy numbers and gene expression is highly useful for real time optimization of the efficiency of a biotreatment system. Advanced molecular techniques as well as low cost methods (e.g., antibody detection of enzymes based on color reaction strips fluorescence i.e., GFP marked organisms with UV light detection) can also be applied to monitor the microbial community structure, persistence of the added bacteria, and their interactions with indigenous populations.

There is also growing evidence that the nature of DOM will affect microbial community structure and function. As we apply the new tools to identify microbial taxa in natural ecosystems, we can begin to delimit the relative importance of trophic and edaphic factors in influencing microbial community structure. The apparent two-way link between microbial community composition and DOM composition allows for further complexity in the dynamics of both DOM and bacterial groups.
