Responses of Coastal Marine Microbiomes Exposed to Anthropogenic Dissolved Organic Carbon

Elena Cerro-Galvez et al.

Summary: This study investigated the response of coastal microbial communities to anthropogenic dissolved organic carbon (ADOC) and found a taxon-specific response impacting the functionality, structure, and plasticity of the communities in coastal seawaters. The results suggest that microbial responses to pollution may be related to pre-exposure to pollutants, with transposons playing a role in adaptation to ADOC.

Early and differential bacterial colonization on microplastics deployed into the effluents of wastewater treatment plants

Sergio Martinez-Campos et al.

Summary: This study investigated the bacterial communities and abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) on different types of microplastics (MPs) in wastewater treatment plant effluents. The results showed higher bacterial diversity on MPs compared to free-living bacteria in effluents, with different polymer types attracting specific bacteria for early attachment. Moreover, MPs concentrated antibiotic-resistant bacteria carrying certain ARGs, highlighting the role of early attachment phase in bacterial biofilm development on MP polymers.

MSroi: A pre-processing tool for mass spectrometry-based studies

Miriam Perez-Cova et al.

Summary: Mass spectrometry is a preferred method in analytical field due to its sensitivity and selectivity in retrieving structural information for compound identification. The complexity of mass spectrometry datasets has led to the development of various computational approaches for pre-processing. The MSroi software aims to provide a comprehensive solution for compression and pre-processing of mass spectrometry datasets, allowing analysis of various types of datasets obtained through different acquisition approaches.
