Microorganisms out number you by at least 10,000 to 1. If you don"t have microorganisms in your body pathogens will take over. The sooner you put these microorganisms in your body the more of an effect they will have on you later in life. Picking up new genetic material from the environment. When they are stressed out they grab any nucleic material hoping that there are genes attached to it. If you know the genome you know the function and what they do. Controlling the expression of genes involved with a function. You don"t want certain genes turned on when they are not needed. Moving that function from one organism to the next. If you want to change the function you have to move or transfer that function over. Bioluminescence - a protein that gives off green light.
