A feasibility study of using silkworm larvae as a novel in vivo model to evaluate the biotoxicity of ionic liquids

Kun Gao et al.

Summary: By using silkworm larvae as an in vivo model, the study investigated the biotoxicity of ionic liquids (ILs) and found that the impact of ILs on silkworm larvae depended on their structures and components. ILs may induce lipid peroxidation and cellular damage to exert toxic effects on silkworm larvae.

Effects of microplastics and glyphosate on growth rate, morphological plasticity, photosynthesis, and oxidative stress in the aquatic species Salvinia cucullata

Hongwei Yu et al.

Summary: Glyphosate and microplastics have specific ecotoxicity effects on aquatic plants, with glyphosate reducing growth rate, photosynthetic capacity, and root activity of S. cucullata, while microplastics mainly affect growth rate and root activity. Both pollutants activate antioxidant defense systems in plants. Synergistic effects of glyphosate and microplastics were observed in leaf yellowing under high concentrations. Overall, the study highlights the potential impact of pervasive microplastics and herbicide contamination on the growth of aquatic plants in freshwater ecosystems.

Spatial variation in the phytoplankton community of the Pemba Channel, Tanzania, during the south-east monsoon

Baraka C. Sekadende et al.

Summary: The study identified 88 species of microphytoplankton in the Pemba Channel, with diatoms dominating the community. Though diatoms showed no spatial pattern, cyanobacteria displayed a significant latitudinal gradient. Numerous harmful phytoplankton species were identified, but their abundances were below harmful algal bloom warning thresholds. Regular phytoplankton monitoring programs are recommended to understand potential increases in harmful species due to anthropogenic activities.

Size-dependent toxic effects of polystyrene microplastic exposure on Microcystis aeruginosa growth and microcystin production

Di Wu et al.

Summary: The study reveals that 1 μm polystyrene microplastics have a greater impact on freshwater cyanobacteria compared to 100 nm microplastics, promoting algal growth and inhibiting photosynthesis. Additionally, 1 μm microplastics increase intracellular microcystins content and inhibit their release, while 100 nm microplastics only promote microcystin production.

Microplastics and plankton: Knowledge from laboratory and field studies to distinguish contamination from pollution

Sabrina M. Rodrigues et al.

Summary: Microplastics are hypothesized to have a major impact on smaller organisms such as plankton, with current research mainly focusing on laboratory studies. Field studies are relatively scarce, and there is a lack of comparability between laboratory and field conditions and methods. Knowledge gaps include the lack of field studies, incomparability between laboratory and field conditions, and limited diversity of plankton species studied.
