How does the microbial diversity of the ISS compare to similar environments on Earth, and what are the contributing factors to this difference?

The research, involving samples from 803 surfaces on the ISS, illustrated that the low microbial diversity is linked to the abundance of disinfectants. This low diversity is comparable to isolated, industrial environments like hospitals, lacking the free-living microbes found in soil and water on Earth.
