About this document
Animals Without Microbiomes Explained by Ylse Amari Sanchez Solis is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) Contrary to prevailing beliefs, some animal species do not host or rely on a microbiome. 2) While most research has focused on species with abundant and beneficial microbial symbionts, some animals may limit microbial growth and not depend on microbes. 3) There is evidence that several lineages of animals exist without microbiomes, representing distantly related branches in the animal phylogeny, but these microbiome-free taxa have received little attention.
