Demonstrates that specific Lactobacillus strains sequester cadmium and protect against Cd-induced gut damage in vivo, establishing probiotics as a tractable intervention against metal toxicity. Grounds the intervention layer of WikiBiome's cadmium-microbiome framework and supports probiotic metal-sequestration as a cross-condition therapeutic lever.
