#Microbiome • Noun • /mīkrōˈbīōm/⠀
⠀
#Scientific #Definition:⠀
⠀
The #collection of the #genomes of the #microbes in a particular #ecosystem.⠀
⠀
#Seed Translation:⠀
⠀
There’s a #community of 38,000,000,000,000 (that’s 38 trillion) #microorganisms, mostly #bacteria, living in and on your #body. Collectively, the #genes harbored in these #trillions of #microbial #cells constitute your microbiome.⠀
⠀
#Plants 🌱 have microbiomes too. So do #animals 🐒. Your #dog, the #bird that just flew by, #honeybees, #coral #reefs, #dandelions, the soil; they all have one. 🦊🌵🦑🌿🍄🌾🦔🐓🌳🐠🕷Bacteria are everywhere, and they connect you to every other #living thing on this #planet.
