What is the Human Microbiome Project?
Sri K.
Keerti J.
Recent analyses of human gut flora using genomic methods have revealed tremendous microbial diversity, including many previously unknown species (see Figure 26.21). This microbial diversity has effects on human health. Describe the ecological methods you could use to investigate (a) how microbial diversity varies between individuals or across populations; and (b) which particular microbes might be keystone species or ecosystem engineers.
