This project aims to revolutionize our view of the microbial world once more by transforming microbiome studies from relative counts of organisms to actual numbers of microbes. This project expects to impact all the microbiome studies that are being performed worldwide by unveiling the actual numbers of microbes. Expected outcomes of this project include new techniques to enumerate the number of bacteria in different environments and new approaches to measure gene expression within individual bacteria in any environment that will be demonstrated with complex microbial communities. This should provide significant benefits because microbes affect every aspect of our lives and those effects are driven by how many microbes are present.

该项目旨在通过将微生物组研究从生物体的相对数量转变为微生物的实际数量，再次彻底改变我们对微生物世界的看法。该项目预计将通过揭示微生物的实际数量来影响全球正在进行的所有微生物组研究。该项目的预期成果包括计算不同环境中细菌数量的新技术，以及测量任何环境中单个细菌内基因表达的新方法，这些方法将通过复杂的微生物群落进行证明。这应该会带来巨大的好处，因为微生物影响着我们生活的方方面面，而这些影响是由微生物的数量决定的。
