Microbial community analysis
A microbial community is a group of microbes that live together and interact with one another in a specific habitat. Analysis of a given microbial community can provide information on all the microbes, including fungi and bacteria, present in a sample. Microbial community analysis can aid in biomedical and environmental research.
