This is an article article about global bacterial diversity published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in 2007. The authors performed a meta-analysis of bacterial diversity data from 111 studies in order to reveal which habitats and sample types are most diverse, and at which phylogenetic level the diversity occurs. This is a good resource for obtaining a broad perspective on bacterial diversity and for planning future research.
