IMMUNE SYSTEM. “In a fascinating inversion of this view of life, however, recent studies have shown that an individual’s immune system is in part created by the resident microbiome. In vertebrates, the gut-associated lymphoid tissue is specified and organized by bacterial symbionts. The immune system does not function properly and its repertoire is significantly reduced when symbiotic microbes are absent in the gut.”
