Good morning microbe lovers! This digest presents papers for everyone taste, plus some really nice general microbiology and science papers. Check out cool snow algae microbiome in Antarctica, soil aggregates microbiome, DNA extraction methods in studying animal microbiomes and more.

Don’t forget to spread MD with friends, colleges and others- it really helps us knowing our hard work is actually being read.
