Monitoring microplastics in live reef-building corals with microscopic laser particles [PDF]

arXiv
Micro- and nanoplastics pose a growing threat to reef-building corals. Yet, understanding of their uptake, interaction with coral tissue and long-term incorporation into coral skeletons remains limited in large part due to the invasive nature of existing methods for monitoring and localizing microplastic.

Multi‐omics insights into surface charge effects to decode the interplay of nanoplastics and bacterial antibiotic resistance

iMeta, EarlyView.
Multi‐omics approaches revealed how nanoplastics with different surface charges influence antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli K12. Positively charged nanoplastics enhanced antibiotic resistance by upregulating genes and proteins linked to oxidative stress tolerance and efflux pumps, and promoted antibiotic resistance genes transfer via ...

Microplastics in the menu of Mediterranean zooplankton: Insights from the feeding response of the calanoid copepod Centropages typicus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

Extracting Superficial Scattering by Q‐Sensing Technique

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
Exploring the use of polarized light by Q‐sensing technique to enhance sensing of abnormal situations in tissue. By isolating superficial scattering from deeper layers, identifying areas of depolarization is possible, allowing the detection of tissue abnormalities and extraction of superficial scattering. The experimental results are supported by Monte

Characterization of Newly Discovered Polyester Polyurethane‐Degrading Methylobacterium aquaticum Strain A1

Journal of Basic Microbiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we present Methylobacterium aquaticum A1, a novel strain capable of degrading polyester polyurethane (PE‐PUR). The attachment of M. aquaticum A1 to PE‐PUR and its degradation capabilities were verified using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier‐Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT‐IR).

In Situ Impact of Waste Polyethylene (PE) Films on Soil Quality and Plant Growth in Agricultural Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plastic films have accumulated in soil ecosystems over decades of agricultural activities. These films potentially disrupt the soil structure, hinder nutrient cycling, and deteriorate soil quality. However, there is still a substantial knowledge gap in understanding how real‐world waste polyethylene films (WPEFs), with varied shapes and sizes,
