Do your eyes have microbiomes? How does heavy rain influence the Atacama desert microbiome?  Welcome to the microbiome digest. This weekends articles also include the latest research on space-station microbes, the influence of protists on the rhizosphere, techniques in metabolome/microbiome research and more! Enjoy!
