Welcome to Symbiota! This game is a simulation of the human gut microbiome, which is the community of the trillions of microbiota (bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses) living throughout the body. The microbiome is considered a supporting organ because it plays so many key roles in the body, from strengthening your immune system to helping you obtain nutrients from food. The balance and types of bacteria in your microbiome are directly influenced by your food choices. Your goal is to achieve a state of symbiosis: the peaceful coexistence of all types of microbiota within the microbiome.
