So the question is a lot of current research and microbial ecology focuses on the human microbiome.
00:08
What do you think this is considered an important topic of study? so humans are mostly microbes over 100 trillions of them.
00:17
Microbes outnumber our human cells 10 to 1, right? so the majority of them live in the gut, particularly in the large intestine.
00:27
The microbiome is the genetic material of all the microbes.
00:30
Bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and virus that live on and outside the human body.
00:38
The number of genes in all the microbes in one person's microbiome is 200 times the number of genes in the human genome.
00:47
The bacteria in the microbiome help in the digestion of food, regulate our immune system, protect against other bacteria that cause disease, and produce vitamins, producing including b, vitamin b12, thiamine and riboflavin, and vitamin k, which is needed for the blood coagulation.

The microbiome is needed for human development, immunity, and nutrition.

The bacteria living in and on of us are not invaders but beneficial colonizers...
