Keith Golding and Ian Clark from Rothamsted Research talk about their work finding out just what lurks in the soil beneath our feet. With the majority of subterranean microbes as yet unidentified, it's a puzzle trying to work out what they do. Working with microbial DNA, the team are assessing microbes for their potential to help with arable farming and looking at the role of microbes and insects in maintaining the environment under foot.
