There’s another biome tucked inside your microbiome—here’s why it’s so important
Your microbiome has its own fungal communities that live in the gut, skin, and
respiratory tract. Known as the mycobiome, its role in your overall health is an
emerging area of interest.

Of the many types of microscopic organisms that make up the gut microbiome, bacteria receive the most attention. But other tiny organisms in the gut might be just as important to overall health—and they’re often overlooked.
Your microbiome also has its own mycobiome, or fungal communities that live in the gut, skin, and respiratory tract. Recent studies show that the mycobiome might help keep dangerous microbes at bay and regulate the immune system—or cause chronic disease.
(Your gut health can affect your whole body. The gut microbiome, explained.)
Scientists have linked the fungal communities in the gut to myriad diseases, including long COVID, and dozens of other intestinal, neurological, and respiratory diseases. And although researchers are only just starting to piece together how fungi impact our health, here’s what we do know.
What makes up the gut microbiome?
Researchers have studied the bacterial microbiome for centuries, but they’ve largely ignored the mycobiome, says Mahmoud Ghannoum, a microbiologist and professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center who coined the term “mycobiome.” (Ghannoum also cofounded BIOHM Health, a biotechnology company that’s testing probiotic nutritional supplements and biotherapeutics.)/.../

Life has found a home on Earth for around 4 billion years. That's a significant fraction of the universe's 13.77 billion-year history. Presumably, if life arose here, it could have appeared anywhere. And for sufficiently broad definitions of life, it might even be possible for life to have appeared mere seconds after the Big Bang.
To explore the origins of life, first we have to define it. There are over 200 published definitions of the term, which shows just how difficult this concept is to grapple with. For example, are viruses alive? They replicate but need a host to do so. What about prions, the pathogenic protein structures? Debates continue to swirl over the line between life and nonlife. But for our purposes, we can use an extremely broad, but very useful definition: Life is everything that's subject to Darwinian evolution./.../

"The Theater of the World" In the 16th century, the Belgian cartographer Abraham Ortelius created the world’s first modern atlas — a collection of maps that he called “The Theater of the World.” The maps, drawn by Ortelius and others, detailed what was at the time the best knowledge of the world’s continents, cities, mountains, rivers, lakes and oceans and helped usher in a new understanding of global geography.
Similarly, the creation of cell atlases — maps of organs and bodies constructed cell by cell — is heralding a new era in our understanding of biology. Powerful sequencing and imaging technologies invented in the last decade are revealing with unprecedented detail the composition of human organs and tissues, from the pancreas and liver to the placenta, as well as those of other animals like the mouse and fruit fly. With these new tools, researchers can fingerprint individual cells based on which genes they are expressing. That information has revealed subtle and unsuspected distinctions among cells and has begun to illuminate how the diversity of cell types can be essential to the healthy functioning of organs. /.../ Quanta Magazine
