The isolation and cultivation of microorganisms in the laboratory also account for a considerable portion of innovations in the medical, biotechnological, and environmental fields. Despite its importance, there is a significant gap in knowledge of their diversity compared to other groups, such as animals and higher plants. It is estimated that about 5% of the estimated species of fungi, 0.1% to 12% of prokaryotes (archaea and bacteria), 31% of protozoa, and viruses have been described worldwide:


a) 1%
b) 2%
c) 3%
d) 4%
