Good morning! the publications from today’s microbiome digest covering the followings: Tick Microbiome, Chronic fatigue syndrome and alteration in the oral microbiome, CRC associated metabolites quantified from the faecal extracts, vaginal microbiome during cytolytic vaginosis, rumen and fecal bacterial community in high-production dairy cattle, and estimation of the expected variation in microbiome measurements (methodological research). Enjoy reading.
