AB  - The  population  of  microorganisms  in  the  biosphere  remains  roughly  constant  because  the  growth  of  microorganisms  is  balanced  by  the  death  of  these  organisms.  The  survival  of  any  microbial  group  within  an  environmental  niche  is  ultimately  influenced  by  successful  competition  for  nutrients  and  by  maintenance  of  a  pool  of  all  living  cells,  often  composed  of  human  cells  and  a  consortium  of  different  microorganisms  (referred  to  as  the  microbiome  or  microbiota).  Understanding  competition  for  nutritional  resources  within  a  given  microenvironment  is  essential  to  understanding  the  growth,  survival,  and  death  of  bacterial  species  (also  known  as  physiology).
