Two examples of microbiomes that are found within a physical environment should be explained and examples of how such microbioms can affect Earth’s environment on a global scale should be listed down.
Introduction:
Microbiome refers to a particular assemblage of microbes and genes that occurs in a defined environment. Some microbiomes are found within physical systems such as oceans, ice, soil and fresh waters.
