Microbiomes of the built environment

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it's explaining a concept that I didn't realize had any sort interest and it looks to be a burgeoning area of study. The article itself has a lot of interesting information that would just need to be re-arranged better for cohesiveness and understanding. Possibly trying to update more recent articles.

Evaluate the article
The lead for this article starts concise, however it seems to add information that doesn't really get as expanded upon. It's structure when presenting the summary could also be changed slightly as it goes from paragraph to bullet points, to paragraph and bullet points again. I think it sticking to just paragraphs with only some bullet points, would make it more cohesive. The content is pretty good however, it is clear that it was a new, up and coming area of study for microbiology. The latest references and information comes from 2016 and I believe it would be worthwhile for the topic to get an update with any recent studies and research done. Most of the facts and information presented does have sources to back it up except for the subsection, Impacts of microbiomes on the built microbiomes which should be researched and confirmed. Additionally, some of the external links should be updated or taken out as some lead to websites that have very little or nothing to do with the subject matter. There's not much that has been discussed in the Talk forum as this subject is not as popular. The main issue presented in the forum was that of a formatting option that could be done to make the information presented in "Studied environments" more understandable. Overall, this article should be looked over and updated, but in general has provided some good and quality information.
