A current conception of microbial communities and state of cells and polymers in them has been changing fast. The qualitatively new research area is developing swiftly together with traditional knowledge. This new area is connected with revealing auto- multiplicating objects of non-viral origin in natural substrata and living organisms whose size is less than theoretically possible minimal cell. In this review the researcmicrobial communitiesh results in both traditional and new arias are analyzed.

Keywords: microorganisms, microbial communities, nanobacteria, soil.
