Summary Introduction
To review:
The comparison of the digestive communities of the bovine rumen and the human colon with respect to their taxa,
Introduction:
Digestive microbiomes are present in almost all vertebrate animals. The most important of them are ruminants that are present in cattle, sheep, and others. They help to digest the food eaten by these animals in the fermentation chamber known as the rumen. Thus, they provide protein-rich food and fiber to the animals.

- Nodules found on the roots of leguminous plants like soybeans harbor bacteria that fix nitrogen. These nodules are an example of the intimate and specialized partnerships that have been established over time between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Coevolution maintains these types of relationships because both participants benefit. Plants receive biologically useful forms of nitrogen needed for growth, and the bacteria reside in an oxygen-free environment required by enzymes involved in the nitrogen-fixing process. Humans also maintain intimate associations with beneficial bacteria and even archaea. In fact, the prokaryotic cells in and on human bodies outnumber the eukaryotic human cells by tenfold, according to some estimates. These microbial inhabitants help humans digest food, provide essential vitamins absorbed by the intestines, and even impact the immune system. The microbes that coevolve with plants arrive by infection of root tissue.
