How Do Microbial Interactions Influence Toxicological Outcomes?
Microbial interactions, including symbiosis, competition, and predation, play crucial roles in shaping the functional capabilities of microbial communities. Symbiotic relationships can enhance the degradation of toxic substances, while competitive interactions may inhibit the activity of effective degraders. Understanding these interactions is essential for optimizing bioremediation strategies and predicting the ecological impact of toxic substances.
