The human body is not only inhabited by humans alone, but there are millions of
other organisms that come to live in it.
For example, many types of bacteria that live in the stomach and some types of fungi.
The study found that under the heel of man there are 80 species of fungi.
The results of genetic analysis found that the fungi of the genus Malassezia is a fungus species that dominates the center of the human body and sleeves.
Heels, nails and between the toes inhabited by various types of fungi are highly variable.
Population imbalance can cause athlete's foot and other fungal diseases.
In the study, the scientists took skin samples from 10 healthy adults from 14 different body parts.
DNA samples were obtained and analyzed in it.
The result, the researchers isolated more than 130 variants of the genus Malassezia fungus, Penicillium and Aspergillus.
The genus Malassezia can cause dandruff, as well as the most commonly found.
This type of fungus often found on the inside of the elbow, the palm of the hand, the eyebrows, the back of the head, nose and forearm.
The chest and abdomen had the least fungal species, about 2 -10 different variants.
Compared to any part of the body, the feet have the most diversity of the fungal species.
The most fertile part of the foot is a fungus covered heel, nails and between fingers.
Highest population is fungus Malassezia, Aspergillus, Cryptococcus, Rhodotorula and Epicoccum.
Overall, the heel has the most diverse fungal variant, which is about 80 genera of fungi.
As quoted by Fox News, Thursday (05/23/2013), researchers confirmed that the abnormal fungal diversity or population imbalance will cause fungal nail infections.
In a report published the journal Nature, researchers confirmed that the skin serves as a barrier to pathogenic microorganisms can enter the body, but is also home to many dangerous microbes.
Until now, most efforts to study the microorganisms of skin just focus on bacteria, but fungi have not received equal portions.
