“It is important to think of our bodies as a summation of the metabolic capabilities provided by our own genome and the microbiome.”

“Scientists have long known that the human body coexists with trillions of individual germs, what they call the microbiome.”

“The woes of the germ-free mouse vividly show just how invaluable the microbiome is.”

“The microbe is unusual in that most other bacteria in the same family are harmless to humans.”

“The microbe occurs in many forms, or strains, that sicken other plants, including almond, peach, plum, and oleander.”

“The surface topography of the silicified microbe is controlled by the size and distribution of the opal-A spheres.”

“Somewhere between 5 and 10 miles you may start to exceed temperatures for known earth microbiota.”

“Antibiotic use is the most common and significant cause of major alterations in normal GIT microbiota.”

“In the figure is a central channel, and in the lower part of the image microbiota are apparent owing to their mineralization.”

“Caecal fermentation, putrefaction and microbiotas in rats fed milk casein, soy protein or fish meal.”

“Many drugs, including the antibiotic streptomycin, are derived from soil microbes called actinomycetes.”

“The most common is activated sludge, a process in which microbes, also known as biomass, are allowed to feed on organic matter in the wastewater.”

“The gluten also shields the helpful microbes from the sun's lethal ultraviolet rays.”
