The research team discovered that belly buttons are very diverse habitats! In total, they discovered 2,368 different species. More than half of those may be new to science
Each participant’s belly button hosted about 67 different species. Yet not one was common to every person, and only eight were found on at least 70 percent of participants.
As it can be seen below, the dashboard visualizes each person's demographic information, top 10 bacteria found, how frequently they wash their belly button, and the bacteria cultures per sample.
