Bacterial degradation of ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi organic matter [PDF]
mSystems, 2023 Blooms of gelatinous zooplankton, an important source of protein-rich biomass in coastal waters, often collapse rapidly, releasing large amounts of labile detrital organic matter (OM) into the surrounding water.

Initial discovery of microplastic pollution in Mnemiopsis leidyi (Ctenophora: Lobata)
Water Biology and Security, 2023 The production of plastics has exponentially increased over time such that the observation of microplastics in the oceans has become a major concern given how frequently these particles and marine biota may interact.
