Phylogenetic analysis -- depicts the evolutionary relationships
Phylogenetic tree of seven PSB from sand sample of Someshwara beach based on 16S rRNA gene sequences available from the EMBL database (accession numbers are given in perenthesis) constructed after multiple alignments of the data using CLUSTAL_X. Distances (according to the Kimura two parameter model) and clustering with the neighbour joining method were performed using MEGA version 5. Numbers at the node are the bootstrap percentages.

Molecular biology has shown that even the simplest of all living systems on the earth today, bacterial cells, are exceedingly complex objects. Although the tiniest bacterial cells are incredibly small, weighing less than 10-12 gms, each is in effect a veritable micro-miniaturized factory containing thousands of exquisitely designed pieces of intricate molecular machinery, made up altogether of one hundred thousand million atoms, far more complicated than any machine built by man and absolutely without parallel in the nonliving world. Michael Denton

Due to complexity, the microbial geotech would require an integration of microbiology, ecology, geochemistry and geotechnical engineering knowledge
