Question

Based upon data from the Human Microbiome Project (HMP), define microbial antagonism and discuss how the various microbial populations keep each other "in check" with consequences for human health.

Answer 1

Answer:

Suppression of one microorganism by another microorganism.

Explanation:

Microbial antagonism is the suppression of one microorganism by another microorganism. For every organism, God creates another organism in order to control its growth and population. So harmful microorganisms that cause diseases in human can be controlled by another beneficial microorganism. If the beneficial microorganisms are removed from the environment, the harmful microorganisms causes more damage to human and their property.
