Microbiome

Table 1 Adonis test results showing the influence of the variables on the composition of the dust mycobiome from the complete indoor dataset (auxiliary and main rooms), and from the main rooms of two daycare centers sampled in Oslo, Norway throughout a full year. Temperature and moisture are outdoor climatic variables
