Today we have pretty much diverse Microbiome Digest particularly in the section of General microbiome. Interesting papers on E coli as a model organism for metabolic engineering, influence of exercise on our gut microbiota and influence of antibiotics on genetic diversity of honeybee gut microbiota. Enjoy reading these and many many more articles and news about microbes.
