Addressing a timely topic, it breaks down recent research developments in a way that everyone with a scientific background can understand. The book discusses why microorganisms are vital to our lives and how our nutrition influences the interaction with our own gut bacteria. In turn, it goes into more detail on how microbial communities are organised and why they are able to survive in the unique environment of our intestines. Readers will also learn about how their personal microbial profile is as unique as their fingerprint, and how it can be affected by a healthy or unhealthy lifestyle. Thanks to the open and easy-to-follow language used, the book offers an overview for all readers with a basic understanding of biology, and sheds new light on this fascinating and important part of our bodies. 410 0$aFascinating Life Sciences,$x2509-6745 606 $aMedical microbiology 606 $aHealth promotion 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aHuman physiology 606 $aLife sciences 606 $aMedical Microbiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B16003 606 $aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27010 606 $aFood Microbiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L23040 606 $aHuman Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B13004 606 $aPopular Life Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q25000 606 $aMicrobiota intestinal$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aMedical microbiology. 615 0$aHealth promotion. 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aHuman physiology. 615 0$aLife sciences. 615 14$aMedical Microbiology. 615 24$aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention. 615 24$aFood Microbiology. 615 24$aHuman Physiology. 615 24$aPopular Life Sciences. 615 7$aMicrobiota intestinal 676 $a612.32 676 $a612.3601579 700 $aFlint$b Harry J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0855932 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910409693203321 996 $aWhy Gut Microbes Matter$91911017 997 $aUNINA
