The human gut microbiota can acquire new catabolic functions by integrating genetic material coming from the environment, for example from food-associated bacteria. The most illustrative example is the acquisition by the human gut microbiota of Asian populations of genes coming from marine bacteria living on the surface of red algae that are incorporated into their diet when eating maki-sushi.
