Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Soil microbiomes.
- Soil microbiomes provide a habitat for microorganisms that benefit the environment by delivering important ecosystem functions.
- They work as a reservoir of human pathogens that induce antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).
- Grazing herbivores are exposed to soil microbiomes via direct ingestion.
How many of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: c)
Soil microbiomes play a crucial role in maintaining healthy water and environmental stability. Moreover, they underpin global food security that eventually affects the overall sustainability of terrestrial life in multiple ways, the experts said in a study published in the journal Nature Communications on June 3, 2023.
These microbiomes provide a habitat for microorganisms that benefit the environment by delivering important ecosystem and host functions. But they also work as a reservoir of human pathogens that induce antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and are sources of organic and inorganic pollutants.
Soil microbiomes impact human and animal immune systems by interacting with them through food chains. They also directly influence the quality of the environment through air and water.
Soil, for instance, “is a direct source of plant microbiomes, including beneficial and pathogenic microorganisms. Grazing herbivores are exposed to soil microbiomes via direct ingestion or the consumption of plant microbiomes, which provides a microbial source for the gut microbiome that can impact overall health and immune-system priming”.
