Sintesi	Single-cell microbiome diversity analysis resolves the composition and functional heterogeneity of microbial communities at the level of individual cells or bacteria. By combining single-cell or single-bacterium isolation with high-throughput sequencing, this pipeline overcomes the averaging effect of bulk metagenomics, enabling detection of rare strains, intra-species variation, and cell-to-cell heterogeneity within complex microbiomes such as the gut, oral cavity, or environmental samples.	Multi-omics microbiome diversity analysis integrates two or more omic data layers — such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metabolomics, and metaproteomics — to characterise both the composition and functional activity of microbial communities. By linking taxonomic diversity metrics with molecular phenotype data, the approach uncovers how community structure translates into ecological and host-relevant functions that no single omic layer can reveal alone.
