Census of microbial life on the International Space Station

Microbiologists have analyzed swabs taken by astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) and compared them with samples from homes on Earth as well as the Human Microbiome Project. They found that the microbial community in this unique habitat was very diverse and more closely resembled that of homes than of humans.

I told my colleagues that PeerJ is a journal where they need to publish if they want their paper to be published quickly and with the strict peer review expected from a good journal.
