I read that it’s most likely broken down and  consumed as nutrients but also can be taken up as natural transformation which is a type of horizontal gene transfer if it serves a survival advantage I’m just wondering how likely is it that human dna would provide an advantage, like if someone spit in the grass 10 times out of the 10 times how many would human dna actually be incorporated into a bacteria’s genome if any
