Massive DNA Structures of Unknown Origin Found In Our Mouths

This just reminded me that we are nothing but a colony of cells, some of which aren't even directly related to us!

I mean, it should be noted that the bladder, in healthy persons, was thought to be sterile. It was only the last several yesrs that it was finally proven that they do, in fact, have their own unique microbiota. There is a lot we don't know about the human body.

A kiss ain’t just a kiss, A sigh ain’t just a sigh, You must remember this, That horizontal transfer is Bacterial bliss. The fundamental things apply As time goes by.

This should also interact with gut bacteria, which have proven to be massive influences of overall health.

I am now a wonderful person. My tee-shirt came in the mail!

Each bacterium has and trades books with each other, mostly survival guides! Fascinating!!

I'm not surprised anymore to hear what people's mouth's can contain 😂

So much of modern life seems to rely on symbiotic relationships. I would think that plasmids, like mitochondria and other organelles, started out as separate single-celled creatures, a few billion years ago. We can’t survive without our symbiotic bacteria in our guts.

Another interesting scientific topic. A breath of fresh air compared to so much other crap on Youtube these days.

Fascinated and, reminds me of someone who worked in the dental industry told me years ago about a tooth decay preventative that some University was testing. There are some people who, no matter how poor their oral hygiene, never get cavities. Scientists were testing using bacteria cultured from their mouths as an orally administered treatment that would virtually wipe out tooth decay. Given the profit margins in the dental industry, I'm not surprised it hasn't hit the market yet
