# Correction to: decomposition of fomes fomentarius fruiting bodies – transition of healthy living fungus into a decayed bacteria-rich habitat is primarily driven by Arthropoda

## TL;DR

The paper explores how microbial communities in oil-enclosed water droplets can reveal insights into community assembly processes.

## Contribution

A novel method for analyzing microbial community assembly using tiny water droplets enclosed in oil.

## Key findings

- Microbial communities in oil-enclosed droplets reflect taxonomic core community assembly processes.
- The method allows inference of ecological processes in microscale environments.

## Abstract

Analysis of microbial communities in tiny water droplets enclosed in oil allows to infer underlying community assembly processes of the taxonomic core community.
