Answer 1

Thank you for this question. Please find the answer below:

Human microbiomes are the genes in the microbiota which is the sum micro-organisms inside and outside the body. These include single and double celled organisms like bacteria, archaea and fungi. 

I think that the human microbiome varies from person to person because every person has specific set of microbiomes. The Human Microbiome Project shows that which can be determined by the ecological processes such as competition for resources etc. 

Answer 2

Both inside and out, our bodies has a huge array of micro-organisms collection. Bacteria are the biggest players. Apart from bacteria, there are single-celled organisms known as archaea, as well as fungi, viruses and other microbes – including viruses that attack bacteria. Together these are called the human microbiota. The body’s microbiome is all the genes your microbiota contains.
