Microbiome

Microbiota

The microbiota is the range of microorganisms that may be commensal, commensal or pathogenic those are found in and on all multicellular organisms, including plants. The human body contains many microorganisms, including a large number of bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa, collectively known as the microbiota. Compared to the number of cells that make up the human body, the number of micro biota has been found to be much larger. A normal gut microbiota has specific functions in host nutrient metabolism, xenobiotic and drug metabolism, maintenance of the structural integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier, immune regulation, and defense against pathogens. The human Microbiome consists of the 10-100 trillion commensal microbial cells in each human body, primarily bacteria in the gut; the Human Microbiome consists of the genes carried by these cells.
