One of the largest body sites that microorganisms like to populate is the gut. The gut contains 95% percent of our microbiota. Our microbiota plays an important role in digestion and the syntheses of vitamins; the development and maintenance of the immune system; communication with the brain and other tissues, and many more amazing processes.
Microorganisms outnumber our own cells by ten-to-one; Humans are made up of approximately ten trillion cells while our hidden microbial world that inhabits us has one hundred trillion cells.
The microbiome is the collection of all the genomes and genes housed in the microbiota. In us, the human genome contributes to approximately 23,000 genes that make us, well us! Many changes in the gut microbiota have been linked to a whole array of disorders and disease states including depression, food intolerance, obesity, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and chronic disease.
