this new approach to biodiversity is applied to the human microbiota. thus, in the study described in the journal nature microbiology in 2016, nearly 1,000 samples from the human digestive tract (stool, stomach, small intestine, and colon) were analyzed, 1 170 different bacteria present in the digestive tract could be grown, including 247 completely new bacterial species. in addition, 269 bacteria that were known only in the environment were isolated for the first time in humans, and 250 bacteria that had already been isolated in humans but never in the digestive tract. all these new bacteria species are available in international collections of strains (collection de souches de l'unité des rickettsies, and deutsche sammlung von mikroorganismen und zellkulturen).

human digestive system









































the human digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract plus the accessory organs of digestion (the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder). digestion involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components, until they can be absorbed and assimilated into the body. the process of digestion has three stages. the first stage is the cephalic phase of digestion which begins with gastric secretions in response to the sight and smell of food. this stage includes the mechanical breakdown of food by chewing, and the chemical breakdown by digestive enzymes, that takes place in the mouth.
