Human-microbe interactions
Living systems are interconnected and interacting.
While microbes can harm us, we require interactions with them to survive.
Microbes interact with humans in various ways, beneficial, neutral, and detrimental.
Hypothesize the response of the body to a microbe. Describe several
ways that the human microbiome influences the host.
Design an experimental scheme to study microbes in ‘natural communities’
Jigsaw: several articles, mix of beneficial microbes and pathogenic microbes. In groups, draw the interactions between the organism and host. Mix up groups with one person from each group in new groups. Explain their interaction to the group. Next, categorize the interactions into 2 groups, then think of another grouping.
Decision making: How can you find out which person’s gut microbes are ‘better’? Hypothesize the type of person who would have ‘better’ gut microflora.Options: gender, diet, geographyAlso, need to define ‘better’.
Know several examples of symbiotic relationships in nature
Animals have a microbiome, and it is critical for life.
Explain what gut microflora is, and what it does for the host. Competition between
organisms plays a role in the composition of the community. Understand the
benefits we get from microbes, as well as the benefits microbes get from us.
