>>I believe that there is at least one intestinal micro-organism << there's >400 microbiota in the human intestinary tract (close to the exit...) where they help us resorb water and minerals, deal with metals (heavy, poisonous etc) and otherwise keep us on our trajectory. getting this system out of balance means for instance cholera, colon cancer etc etc. The first real check of this flora and fauna was made by NASA for Apollo (using "no-limits"- kind of financing). Im part to another try (europe-wide project) using genetic fingerprinting (ribosomal S16 marking of these beasts)....

Thanks for the interesting information.

Am I correct in assuming that the existence of the >400 microbiota is not encoded in human genetic information, although the ability to benefit from their existence presumably is?

Are they present in a developing fetus?

Regards, Don
