Microbes, spanning bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses, exhibit remarkable adaptability and versatility, swiftly adjusting their metabolic pathways, community structure, and interactions to maintain ecosystem functions. Their ability to degrade pollutants, fix nutrients, and modulate biogeochemical cycles renders them indispensable players in buffering ecosystems against perturbations. Moreover, microbial symbioses with plants and animals further enhance ecosystem resilience by conferring stress tolerance and promoting host health. Keyphrases: Health, Host, promoting
