human-microbiome
The human microbiome refers to the diverse communities of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms that inhabit the human body, particularly the gastrointestinal tract. In plant science, this concept is significant because dietary compounds from fruits and other plant foods interact with and shape gut microbial communities, influencing nutrient absorption, metabolite production, and overall health outcomes. Studying these plant-microbiome interactions helps researchers understand how specific phytochemicals and fiber content affect microbial diversity and function.
