The signature and almost unique characteristic of microbial technology is the exceptional diversity of applications it can address, and the exceptional range of human activities and needs to which it is and can be applied. Precisely because sustainability goals have very diverse and complex components and requirements, microbial technology has the ability to contribute substantively on many levels in many arenas to global efforts to achieve sustainability. Indeed, microbial technology could be viewed as a unifying element in our progress towards sustainability.
微生物技术的显著特点和独特之处在于，它可以应用于极其多样化的领域，能够应用于人类活动和需求的范围也非常广泛。正是因为可持续性目标具有非常多样化和复杂的组成部分和要求，微生物技术才能够在许多层面和领域为全球实现可持续性的努力做出实质性的贡献。事实上，微生物技术可以被视为我们迈向可持续性发展过程中的一个统一要素。
