Ep. 27: "Oh Give Me A Home In The Microbiome!"
from This Is Only A Test · host Halteres Associates
Just in time for Thanksgiving, Halteres Associates is serving up a new episode of Interesting Stories In The History of Diagnostics about the microbiome! As you munch on every bite of stuffing, remember that your body is made up of a community of commensal, symbiotic, and pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae, and viruses, as well as protozoans and other protists, so you are actually giving a little taste of Thanksgiving dinner to every microbe who’s along for the ride. And as you recline on your sofa for a post-turkey nap, envision just how that tryptophan is being broken down by your whole microorganism pit crew.
