Did you know that we have approximately the same number of microbes on and in our bodies as we do human cells? 👀

In this video, Chris Rinke, an ARC Future Fellow and Senior Lecturer at the Australian Centre for Ecogenomics (ACE), University of Queeensland, Australia talks about microbes.

These microbes play a crucial role in our digestion, making it possible for us to break down certain substances like fiber.

And it's not just in our bodies - the FOOD we eat is also heavily influenced by microbes. 🧀

Without these tiny organisms, our bodies wouldn't be able to function as efficiently as they do.
