Shalom from Israel!

While the eyes of the world are looking at the US elections results, it’s good to know that the world of microbiome research is stable and produces great scientific discoveries. So stop refreshing the news websites, grab yourself a cup of cofee and enjoy your Saturday.

Today’s digest has some great papers about memory in microboimes, factors that shapes bacterial growth, infant skin microbial communities, degraded soils restoration using self-assembly communities, songbirds microbiome, antiSMASH3 is out (!), useful youtube video for metagenome ML analysis in MATLAB and more. Reminding those of you who are intrested in agriculture-related microbioe studies to stop by and follow my bot agmicroPapers

Greeting everyone from the boiling hell southern Spain tourns every Summer.

Today we have a lot of soil microbiome in general. Also PARGT, a new software tool for predicting antimicrobial resistance in bacteria. And new insight in the relatioship between blood type and bacteria.
