Analog habitat
Research Article | Applied and Environmental ScienceMicrobiome and Metagenome Analyses of a Closed Habitat during Human OccupationThis study provides the first assessment of monitoring cultivable and viable microorganisms on surfaces within a submerged, closed, analog habitat. The results of the analyses presented herein suggest that the surface material plays a role in microbial community structure, as the microbial populations differed between LDP and metal/glass surfaces. The metal/glass surfaces had less-complex community, lower bioburden, and more closely...
