So, indication of advanced evolution: outsourcing some of our development to other lifeforms (e.g. microbiomes)

I wonder if someone would take human DNA and all the necessary bits and cloned one on another planet completely alien to Earth: would that human being have a bad time because of the missing microbiomes or will they somehow grow their own (I'm thinking gut bacteria and microbiomes and so on)?

A lot of research is performed on “axenic” mice — mice without any biome.
