Interactions between gut microbiota and heavy metals
GUO Lian-xian
Abstract：Heavy metals can easily enter the human body through food,interfering with normal physiological functions and posing a risk to human health.Gut microbiota can adsorb heavy metals to the cell surface or inside the cell through extracellular complexation,extracellular precipitation and intracellular accumulation,altering the structure,toxicity or bioavailability of these heavy metals.This paper elaborates the interaction between several important heavy metal elements and microorganisms,and reveals the strategies employed by these microorganisms to develop resistance to heavy metals,providing a theoretical basis for the utilization of gut microbiota in alleviating heavy metal poisoning.
