One of the most cited, albeit not the earliest (Whipps et al., 1988), was that introduced by Joshua Lederberg, who referred to the microbiome as “the ecological community of commensal, symbiotic, and pathogenicmicroorganisms that literally share our body space [. . . ]” (Lederberg and Mccray, 2001). This definition became especially popular as, over the following years, its meaning shifted from the organisms as taxonomical units (i.e., microbiota) to their collective genetic material. Four years after Lederberg’s publication, the word microbiome began to be employed in the scientific literature (Nicholson et al., 2005), and to date, it has been used in tens of thousands of scientific publications. However, as its popularity increased, numerous definitions for the word microbiome appeared in scientific literature, sparking a hot debate over the birth and evolution of the meaning of this word (Prescott, 2017; Morar and Bohannan, 2019; Berg et al., 2020). Over the last decade, advancements in next-generation sequencing allowed for a new understanding of the microbial complexity tightly associated with living beings and environments. Recent research demonstrated that microbiomes play a key role in the health of the organisms whom they are associated with, influencing, among others, their physiology, biochemistry, and reproductive success (Dinan and Cryan, 2017; Bai et al., 2020; Compant et al., 2020). In fact, the disruption of microbial homeostasis leads to dysbiosis, a condition which plays a major role in disease in humans and other animals (Liu et al., 2020), and decline in plants (Bettenfeld et al., 2020). Undoubtedly,much research has yet to be carried out to further understand the composition, functions, and resilience to stressors of microbiomes (e.g., anthropic activities and climate change). However, in recent years,microbiome research has branched out into a new direction. The acquired awareness over the role that microbial communities play in the health of biological systems led to the search for strategies to exploit microbiomes and microbial blends to achieve specific goals, such as restoring compromised systems (e.g., reversing a condition of dysbiosis) or enhancing existing onesFrontiers in MicrobiologyRepositório da Universidade de LisboaDel Frari, GiovanniFerreira, Ricardo Boavida2021-07-05T08:45:52Z20212021-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/21586engDel Frari G and Ferreira RB (2021) Microbial Blends: Terminology Overview and Introduction of the Neologism “Skopobiota”.
