Engineered Probiotics & Human Health

The ability of a microbiome to adulterate the physiology of an organism has recently been highlighted. This is due to a dependence generated by a close symbiotic relationship, where commensal bacteria degrade products that our human genes cannot degrade, accelerating and diversifying digestion. In other words, our microbiome is proof of the success of coevolutionary …
