What Challenges Exist in Studying Microbial Communities in Toxicology?
Despite their importance, studying microbial communities poses several challenges:
Complexity: The vast diversity and complex interactions within microbial communities make it difficult to predict their behavior and influence on toxicity. Technological Limitations: While metagenomics and other advanced techniques have improved our understanding, a comprehensive analysis of microbial communities is still challenging. Environmental Variability: Microbial communities can vary significantly between different environments, making it hard to generalize findings across studies.
