Ecotoxicological effects of microplastics and cadmium on the earthworm Eisenia foetida

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2020
As microplastics (MPs) have become ubiquitous in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, there has been a growing concern about these new anthropogenic stressors. However, comparatively little is known about the negative effects of MPs, co-contamination of MPs and heavy metals on terrestrial organisms.

Oxidative stress and genotoxicity of nitenpyram to earthworms (Eisenia foetida)

Chemosphere, 2021
In this study, the artificial soil poisoning method was used to explore the antioxidative stress mechanism and gene changes of earthworms (Eisenia foetida) after application of nitenpyram. The toxic effects of nitenpyram on earthworms were combined with the method called the second-generation integrated biomarker response index method (IBRv2) to be ...

Relative toxicities of chemicals to the earthworm Eisenia foetida

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1984
Abstract In the present study, 90 chemicals were tested against Eisenia foetida for the purpose of using this organism as the marker species to indicate the relative toxicities of chemicals to earthworms and other soil invertebrates.

Microbial community indigenous to the earthworm Eisenia foetida

Biology and Fertility of Soils, 2000
Microbial populations of the earthworm Eisenia foetida, their casts and farmyard manure (FYM) in which E. foetida had lived were enumerated with the dilution plate method using several media. The microbial community of earthworms appeared to be similar to that of the FYM in which they had lived, while that of earthworms starved in distilled water for ...

Potential of vermicomposting with mixtures of animal manure and vegetable leaves in the development of Eisenia foetida, microbial biomass, and enzymatic activity under semi-arid conditions.

Journal of Environmental Management, 2023
Vermicomposting is the bio-oxidation and stabilization of organic matter involving relationships between the action of earthworms and microorganisms and the activation and dynamics of several enzyme activities. Semi-arid farmers to make (extra) money and

Genotoxic and mutagenic evaluation in Eisenia foetida annelids exposed to iron ore tailings from the region of Brumadinho, MG, Brazil.

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2023
Soils that have a disproportion of metallic elements due to anthropic activities endanger the terrestrial fauna. This study evaluated whether earthworms (Eisenia foetida) exposed to ore tailings from Brumadinho region presented a higher frequency of ...

Bacillus subtilis reduces antibiotic resistance genes of animal sludge in vermicomposting by improving heat stress tolerance of Eisenia foetida and bacterial community adjustment.

Environmental Research, 2022
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in livestock industry have been recognized as a kind of pollutant. The effect of Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) as an additive for the reduction of ARGs in animal sludge from livestock and poultry wastewater treatment ...

Insecticidal activities of two fig tree leaf extracts against the cotton pest Spodoptera litura (Fab.) and their impact on the non‐target red worm Eisenia foetida (Savigny)

Entomological Research, 2023
Extracts of botanical origin naturally contain a complex mixture of chemicals considered effective in managing lepidopteran pests. Chemical screening of the ethanolic leaf extracts of two fig tree species, Ficus lyrata and Ficus auriculata, delivered 12 ...
