How does Candida interact with environmental toxins?
Candida can interact with various environmental toxins, potentially altering their toxicity. For example, heavy metals like mercury and cadmium can impact the growth and virulence of Candida. Conversely, Candida can affect the bioavailability and toxicity of these metals by binding to them or altering their chemical state. Understanding these interactions is essential for assessing environmental health risks, particularly in areas with high levels of industrial pollution.
