A variety of microbes (bacteria/viruses/fungi) help human bodies function and develop resilience to diseases. We receive these microbes from our environment. With globalisation and convergance of lifestyles across the world, the variety in human microbial profiles is endangered, making us less healthy and less resilient to diseases. The Human Microbiota Vault project is trying to map and conserve the human microbial variety before it is too late. (https://www.microbiotavault.org/) I speak to the project's President, Professor Maria Gloria Dominguez-Bello.
