Effects of water environmental factors and antibiotics on bacterial community in urban landscape lakes
This study focused on three types of urban landscape lakes in Xi'an that were closely related to human activities. By combining basic water quality indicators, antibiotic occurrence status, bacterial communities and their potential metabolic functions, Spearman correlation coefficient and redundancy analysis were used to explore the relationship between them, and further explore the impact mechanism of environmental factors and antibiotics on bacterial community structure. The results showed that ofloxacin, erythromycin, and roxithromycin were the main types of antibiotics in the three landscape lakes, with low ecological ...

Potential role of dietary Boswellia serrata resin against mancozeb fungicide-induced immune-antioxidant suppression, histopathological alterations, and genotoxicity in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus
This study was established to look into the toxicological consequences of chronic exposure to a fungicide (mancozeb; MAZ) on the immune-antioxidant response, gene expressions, hepato-renal functions, and histological pictures of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Additionally, the effectiveness of Indian frankincense resin extract (IFRE) to mitigate their toxicity was taken into account. Fish (n =240; average body weight: 22.45 ± 2.21 g) were randomized into four groups for eight weeks in six replicates (control, IFRE, MAZ, and IFRE + MAZ), where ten fish were kept per replicate. The control and IFRE groups received ba...

Eucalyptol alleviates avermectin exposure-induced apoptosis and necroptosis of grass carp hepatocytes by regulating ROS/NLRP3 axis
Aquat Toxicol. 2023 Oct 30;264:106739. doi: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2023.106739. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe wide application of Avermectin (AVM) has caused pollution of surface water and damage to non-target organisms. A growing body of evidence supports the most prominent role of Eucalyptol (EUC) is antioxidation. To the purpose of explore the injury mechanism of Avermectin on grass carp hepatocytes and the antagonistic effect of Eucalyptol, 5.7 μM AVM and/or 20 μM EUC were used to treat grass carp hepatocytes for 24 h to establish hepatocyte exposure model. The results showed that Avermectin exposure significantly inc...

Characterization of molecular and apical effects of legacy-contaminated groundwater on early life stages of fathead minnows
The objective of this study was to apply a novel transcriptomics tool, EcoToxChips, to characterize the effects of complex mixtures of contaminants in fish and to compare molecular response patterns to higher-level biological responses including swimming behavior, deformities, and mortality. Fathead minnow (FHM) embryos were exposed for seven days to increasing concentrations of groundwater collected from moderate (MIAZ) and high (HIAZ) industrial activity zones of a legacy contaminated site. There was a concentration-dependent disruption of photo-dependent swimming responses associated with avoidance behavior patterns and...

Short-term exposure to polystyrene microplastics hampers the cellular function of gills in the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis
This study was designed to evaluate the daily uptake and cellular effects due to a short-term (up to 72 h) exposure to 3 μm red polystyrene MPs (50 beads/mL) in the gills of the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis, chosen as model species for its ecological and commercial relevance. After measuring the daily uptake of MPs and detecting their presence within the branchial epithelium at all the exposure time-points (T24, T48, T72), some cleaning mechanisms were observed by neutral and acid mucous secretions at mussel gills. The protonic Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR)-based metabolomics, combined with chemome...

Copper and zinc accumulation, distribution, and tolerance in Pistia stratiotes L.; revealing the role of root caps
Aquat Toxicol. 2023 Oct 14;264:106731. doi: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2023.106731. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPollution by potentially toxic trace metals, such as copper or zinc, is global. Both Cu and Zn are essential microelements, which in higher concentrations become toxic. The aquatic plant Pistia stratiotes(L. has great potential for phytoremediation. Also, it has an unusually large and easily detachable root cap, which makes it a suitable model for studying the potential role of the root cap in metal uptake. Plant response to environmentally relevant concentrations of Cu (0.1, 0.3, and 1 μM) and Zn (0.3, 1, and 3 μM) w...

Palmelloid-like phenotype in the alga Raphidocelis subcapitata exposed to pollutants: A generalized adaptive strategy to stress or a specific cellular response?
Aquat Toxicol. 2023 Oct 17;264:106732. doi: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2023.106732. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis work focuses on the formation of palmelloid-like phenotype in the freshwater alga Raphidocelis subcapitata (formerly known as Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata and Selenastrum capricornutum), when exposed to adverse conditions generated by the presence of organic [the antibiotic erythromycin (ERY) and the herbicide metolachlor (MET)] or inorganic [the heavy metals, cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn)] pollutants, at environmentally relevant concentrations. This alga in absence of stress or when exposed to ERY or Zn, up to 200...
