Today’s digest features studies on microbial genes of unknown function, oral microbiome of smokeless tobacco consumers, non-industrialized infant microbiome, and more news. Happy reading!
Microbiome Forum FOR EVERYONE
Each event is replicated shortly thereafter to reach a global audience.
ALL microbiome research & career levels welcome!
