Gut microbiota - are humans individuals or ecosystems?

I’ve mentioned the BBC 4 Food Programme podcasts before… but again: check out their podcasts and maybe start with these ones on gut microbiota:

The BBC is actually just a great site to do searches for topics you’re interested in. The following podcast looks into Gut Microbiota, too:
