<speciesfyi-glossary slug="microbiome"></speciesfyi-glossary>Definition
The community of microorganisms inhabiting a particular environment, such as the human gut or soil.
Detailed Explanation
The human gut microbiome contains trillions of microorganisms from thousands of species, producing vitamins, training the immune system, and metabolizing dietary compounds. Disruption of microbiome composition (dysbiosis) is associated with inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, diabetes, and mental health disorders. Soil microbiomes contain the greatest density of biological diversity on Earth and mediate all nutrient cycling processes that sustain plant growth.
