So you want to learn about bacteria and then about microbiome.
Let’s start with the basics.
Is it Bacteria or Bacterium?
One of them is called a bacterium (single). More than one is called bacteria (plural).
A simple case of the singular vs. the plural; bacterium means one bacteria.
Example:
-
-
- woman, women
- man, men
- bacterium, bacteria
-
Since bacteria are very small, and it isn’t likely you’ll talk about them singularly, so it is generally acceptable to simply say ‘bacteria’.
Avoid using the following incorrect terms:
-
-
- bacterias
- a bacteria
-
