Its miles predicted that 500–1,000 species of micro organism live in the human body [Sears 2005]{1} Bacterial cells are a whole lot smaller than human cells and there are at least 10 instances as many microorganisms as human cells within the frame (about 1014 versus 1013[1013 = 1 trillion]) [Savage 1977; Berg 1996]even though everyday plant life is found on all surfaces uncovered to the environment (on the pores and skin and eyes, in the mouth, nostril, small intestine, and colon), the large majority of microorganisms stay inside the big intestine. The phrases intestinal “Microflora” or “microbiota” discuss the microbial surroundings colonizing the GI tract. 90-nine percent of the bacteria isolated from human fecal specimens will no longer develop in the presence of atmospheric oxygen [Savage 1977). Bacteria make up most of the flowers in the colon [University of Glasgow, 2005]4 and 60% of the dry mass of feces [Guarner and Malagelada 2003]. This makes feces an ideal source for testing intestinal plant life
