This Monday we have quite short digest with interesting review from K. Rosenthal about microbial single cell analysis, T. K. Hattenrath-Lehmann tells us about microbes associated with harmful algal blooms while G. Chen demonstrates mutualistic interaction between bacteria in anaerobic mixed culture. Enjoy your reading.
