Field notes
The page places the gear-cleaning advice in the context of cave microbial life, noting that many microbes contribute to food webs and other cave processes. It says the project collected samples along the cave and from expedition participants’ suits at Gouffre Berger; the metagenomic analysis is still in progress, so the broader results remain forthcoming.
