Choose the best definition of a microbiome from those below. Only those microorganisms within our bodies. The diverse microorganisms that surround us within our bodies, our homes, and our ecosystems make up what scientists call our microbiomes. Only those microorganisms within our homes. The diverse tiny organisms such as insects, mold, bacteria, and viruses that surround us within our bodies, our homes, and our ecosystems make up what scientists call our microbiomes. The viruses and pathogens that make the leap from animal to human.

Q. Describe the human microbiome (in broad terms) - include the following: What types of organisms is the human microbiome composed of? (Which classes of microbes are represented?) Where is the human microbiome NOT located? (Where in our body are microbes NOT found?) How does the host help its microbiome? (Name one benefit we provide to our microbiome)
Suman K.
Defining the "functional core microbiome," rather than simply characterizing each microorganism, attempts to describe the holistic benefits provided to the host by the collective biota, enumerate the organisms in each specific niche, dispel the myth that the microbiome affects human behavior, and determine the genetic sequence of all the organisms in the human microbiome.
