The Belly Button Biodiversity Project found around 1,400 types of bacteria, more than 600 of which were unknown to science— they were completely new, unclassified organisms!

The places we go, the things we eat, the people we interact with — they all affect our "microbial signature." Our belly buttons — or really, the bacteria they contain — are reflections of our lives.
