The effects of exposure to microplastics on grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) at the physiological, biochemical, and transcriptomic levels

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that grass carp exposed to microplastics exhibited liver cytoplasmic vacuolation and inhibited growth, as well as suppression of the antioxidant system and enhancement of oxidative stress. Transcriptome analysis revealed differentially expressed genes related to energy metabolism pathways and PPAR signaling pathway.

Microplastics as an aquatic pollutant affect gut microbiota within aquatic animals

Weixin Li et al.

Summary: The adverse effects of microplastics on gut microbiota in aquatic animals are dependent on the chemicals and biofilm present in the microplastics. Therefore, understanding the influences of these characteristics is crucial to grasp the consequences of microplastics ingestion by aquatic organisms. Research on the impacts of microplastics on gut microbial communities within aquatic animals, involving chemical components and biofilm, is necessary for future studies on this subject.

Embryotoxicity of polystyrene microplastics in zebrafish Danio rerio

Giuseppe De Marco et al.

Summary: In recent years, there has been increasing concern regarding the presence and accumulation of plastic debris in the environment, as well as the impact of microplastics (MPs) on biota. This study conducted a fish embryo toxicity test on zebrafish exposed to polystyrene MPs, revealing that the MPs had a moderate delay on hatching and caused deformities and compromised visual structure in larvae development. Additionally, increased gene transcription involved in oxidative stress and cellular detoxification were observed in the MPs-exposed zebrafish larvae.

Nesrine Zitouni et al.

Summary: This study investigates the presence of small environmental microplastics in the liver of Serranus scriba fish caught from coastal regions in Tunisia. The findings reveal differences in the abundance, size distribution, and presence of plastic additives across different sites. The study also highlights the impact of microplastics on the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and neurotoxicity of the fish liver.

Accumulation and ecotoxicological risk of weathered polyethylene (wPE) microplastics on green mussel (Perna viridis)

G. Hariharan et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that organisms, including humans, are exposed to microplastics, both directly and indirectly. This study specifically focused on the accumulation behavior of weathered Polyethylene (wPE) microplastics in Perna viridis, revealing that higher concentrations of wPE led to decreased feeding rates and increased accumulation in the intestines of exposed organisms. Biomarker analysis also showed significant alterations in metabolism and histology due to wPE exposure, highlighting the potential adverse effects on internal organs and overall marine ecosystem health.

Time-dependent metabolic disorders induced by short-term exposure to polystyrene microplastics in the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis

Tiziana Cappello et al.

Summary: The research conducted a short-term exposure experiment on marine mussels with red polystyrene microplastics, revealing the impacts on various metabolic pathways including amino acid metabolism, osmotic equilibrium, antioxidant defense system and energy metabolism. This study provides the first insights into the early mechanisms of toxicity of polystyrene microplastics in marine invertebrates.

Combined bioaugmentation with electro-biostimulation for improved bioremediation of antimicrobial triclocarban and PAHs complexly contaminated sediments

Yang Bai et al.

Summary: A novel remediation system involving electro-biostimulation and bioaugmentation showed significantly higher efficiency in degrading PAHs and TCC co-contaminated sediments compared to traditional methods. The introduced TCC-degrading strain and enriched electroactive bacteria synergistically contributed to the accelerated degradation of pollutants. Bioaugmentation treatment helped restore microbial functions by increasing the abundance of functional genes related to metabolic processes, offering promising insights for enhanced bioremediation of co-contaminated sediments.

Size effects of microplastics on accumulation and elimination of phenanthrene in earthworms

Guanghui Xu et al.

Summary: Research shows that different sizes of microplastics have diverse impacts on the accumulation and elimination of organic pollutants by earthworms, with larger sizes causing more severe DNA damage and increasing the accumulation of pollutants. Additionally, nano-size microplastics significantly inhibit the bacteria responsible for degrading pollutants in earthworms, leading to higher residual concentrations of pollutants.

A preliminary study of the association between colonization of microorganism on microplastics and intestinal microbiota in shrimp under natural conditions

Muting Yan et al.

Summary: This study identified microplastics pollution in shrimp ponds and Litopenaeus vannamei for the first time, and investigated the association between colonization of microorganisms on microplastics and intestinal microbiota under natural conditions. Results suggest that impacts on the intestinal microbiota induced by microplastics may be due to the biofilm on their surfaces, causing notable effects on aquatic animals.

Long-term exposure to virgin and seawater exposed microplastic enriched-diet causes liver oxidative stress and inflammation in gilthead seabream Spans aurata, Linnaeus 1758

X. Capo et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the physiological response of gilthead seabream fed with LDPE microplastics, observing an increase in antioxidant enzyme activities, particularly in the seawater exposed group. Despite a slight recovery after 30 days of depuration, the elevated antioxidant defenses were not sufficient to prevent oxidative damage in the liver.

Microplastics intake and excretion: Resilience of the intestinal microbiota but residual growth inhibition in common carp

Ming-Yan Ouyang et al.

Summary: The study showed that exposure to microplastics did not impact fish growth, but had a delayed effect following their excretion. While intake and excretion of microplastics did not affect isotopic and elemental compositions, it altered the composition of intestinal microbiota. Interestingly, after excretion, the bacterial community structure of fish treated with microplastics showed resilience and grouped together with the control.
