Holobiont is an assemblage of a host and the many other species living in and on it, which alltogether form a discrete ecological unit through symbiosis.


 

Bioreactor with symbiotic cultures of bacteria & yeast.

The bacterial cultures in the capsule pills were cultured

in the bioreactor and than processed and dehydrated in the lab to make 

kombucha powder and extract the transformative responsive bacteria.
