Microbiome Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

All lectures of the master course digesting the microbiome (NWI-BM081) are covered in the document (using the powerpoint slides and additional information covered in the lectures). The figures included are taken from the PowerPoint slides. All processes and concepts discussed are extensively described using examples and figures.

Microbe - Answer-A living thing that is too small to be seen by the naked eye; require a microscope to see them; includes many different life forms including bacteria, archea (often live in extreme environments), fungi, protists, viruses, and microscopic animals Microbiome - Answer-The totality of microbes, their genetic information, and the milieu in which they interact; typically consist of environmental or biological niches containing complex communities of microbes; including gut and to...

CMMB 343 Final Exam Question and answers 2024 verified to pass How does the microbiome of the human GI tract compare to human genomic cells in the body? (2) 1. approx 1:1 ratio of human cells to microbes (~10 trillion each) 2. The ORFs in the microbiome outnumber the ORFs in our genome 150:1 Define: 1. Microhabitat 2. Microbiota 3. Microbiome 1. Microhabitat -location that supports different microbes (skin, GI tract, etc) -not homologous; skin is a microhabitat but armp...

microbiota vs microbiome correct answer: microbiota - organisms microbiome - organisms + genes + genome The gut microbiota contains more than __ cells more than __ species correct answer: 200 trillion cells >1000 species The microbiome contains __x the cells in the human body The gut microbiome is __x larger than the human genome correct answer: 10x cells 150x genome Who came up with the official definition of microbiota? correct answer: Lederberg and McCray, 2001 Microbi...

CMMB 343 - Final Exam Content Question and answers already passed 2024 There are as many microbial cells in the human body as there are: - correct answer human cells. However, ORFs in the microbiome outnumber ORFs in the human genome 95% of the microbes on humans live in: - correct answer The GI tract (gastrointestinal tract). Different microhabitats support different... - correct answer ...microbes, depending on temperature, pH, oxygen, etc. Each microhabitat is not homologous (even ...

Micorbiome correct answer: the complex system of organisms that make up the GI tract (100 trillion) Function of Microbiome correct answer: maintain homeostasis thru interactions from host and microbes Dysbiosis correct answer: Changes in microbiome which may lead to IBS or Other GI conditions Prebiotics correct answer: Healthy type of fiber that acts to promote healthy gut -Ex: Onion, Garlic Probiotics correct answer: Live bacteria that promote healthy gut microbes -Ex: yogurt...
