The individual microbiome – more chance than selection | Max-Planck-Gesellschaft

All living beings live in symbiosis with an abundance of micro-organisms – the microbiome – that settle on and in their tissues. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Plön and the University of Kiel have compared the microbiome compositions of different animal species with model calculations. They discovered that the microbiomes of some species are largely composed in a way that can be expected without selection pressure. The species in many microbiomes are therefore mainly randomly distributed. In contrast, some bacteria appear more frequently than predicted by random models; these presumably have key functions for the survival of the organism.
