Modi University, Newai, Jaipur, Rajasthan Scientific advancement in exploration and exploitation of microbial community structure is fundamentally driven by discoveries and development of new technologies. This review summarizes the techno-scientific advancement based exploitation of the bacterial diversity of saline and soda lakes. Advancement in DNA based technologies have become a paradigm shift in microbiome community mapping of extreme environment. Further, we focused on alternative modern techniques that can be used as for the identification of bacteria and classification of bacterial diversity, as well as highlighted general description of hypersaline and soda lakes as microbial habitats based on molecular techniques. However molecular methods are detailed briefly as are the standard techniques for assessing genome content for taxonomic classification of bacterial diversity. This review provides advance microbial techniques insight for exploitation of microbial community landscape from extreme water bodies. http://pubs.sciepub.com/aees/9/8/3/aees-9-8-3.pdf polyphasic approach extremophiles soda lake microorganism
