Reduction of hexavalent chromium by the earthworm Eisenia foetida (savigny)

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 1991
Several metabolic systems in Eisenia foetida competent to achieve an intracellular Cr(VI) reduction are described. Evidence that earthworms act as effective scavengers of hexavalent chromium from the environment is also provided. Results suggest that E. foetida may play an important role during occasional Cr(VI) pollution of soils.

Bacterial Toxin Exploits Host Membrane Phospholipid as a Receptor for Binding, Entry, and Cytopathogenicity

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 2, Page 145-158, February 2026.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae pathogenesis relies on its CARDS toxin, which initiates cell binding and subsequent uptake by exploiting sphingomyelin, a key phospholipid found in the host plasma membrane. Maximal cellular entry and full cytotoxic effects are achieved through a synergistic mechanism that involves interaction with the protein coreceptor annexin ...

Microplastics in Agricultural Soil: Fate, Impacts, and Bioremediation by Earthworms

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 188, Issue 6, Page 873-893, December 2025.
Microplastics enter the soil through various means, including the degradation of plastic film mulch, waste from cosmetics industries and municipalities, and the use of bioplastic seed coatings. These microplastics disrupt soil structure, microbial activity, enzyme function, and plant growth.
