This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Children in daycare centers are exposed to various bacteria and fungi. Exposure to certain indoor fungi can lead to adverse health effects, but the extent to which the fungal community, or mycobiome, affects children in daycares remains unclear. To learn more, a recent study investigated the indoor mycobiomes of two daycare centers in Norway over the course of a year. DNA metabarcoding of dust samples from the daycares revealed that less-used rooms had fungal communities similar to the outdoor mycobiome, which were markedly different from the communities in the main rooms. The less-used rooms tended to have more Basidiomycota species. while the main rooms had more Ascomycota species. The indoor mycobiome composition was also strongly affected by the outdoor climate, exhibiting clear seasonality..."
