Studies of the microbiome in the human gut focus mainly on bacteria. Other microbes that are also present in the gut viruses, protists, archaea and fungi have been largely overlooked.
New research in mice now points to a significant role for fungi in the intestine the communities of molds and yeasts known as the mycobiome that are the active interface between the host and their diet.
