Following kelp harvest, significant alterations in the microbial community structure were noted, with a decrease in complexity and heterogeneity within co-occurrence networks potentially impacting RDOC production efficiency. Metabolic models constructed identified four key microbial lineages crucial for RDOC turnover, with their abundance observed to decrease post-harvest.

In addition, "microgenderome" has been focused on elucidating the different responses of males and females to environmental stress. The results indicated that TPT exhibited androgenic effects and long-term toxicological consequences, influencing the internal steroid hormone levels of the offspring and leading to their abnormal growth and development.

This study investigated the combined toxicity and intergenerational effects of exposure to triphenyltin (T), microplastics (M), nanoplastics (N), a combination of microplastics and triphenyltin (MT), and a combination of nanoplastics and triphenyltin (NT) on marine medaka. The results showed that all treatments had adverse and intergenerational effects on marine medaka.

However, the accumulation of antibiotics in agricultural practices may negatively affect these microbial communities. The objective of this study was to explore the ecological effects of the sulfonamide drug sulfadiazine (SDZ) on the rhizosphere soil microbial communities of ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.

The microbial communities of these ecosystems, including bacteria, fungi, protists, and viruses, are the drivers of biogeochemical cycles. Although seasonal changes in microbial communities are critical for ecosystem functioning, the current understanding of microbial-driven metabolic properties and their viral communities in marine sediments remains limited.

The ecological effects of climate change and ocean acidification (OA) have been extensively studied. Various microalgae are ecologically important in the overall pelagic food web as key contributors to oceanic primary productivity. Additionally, no organism exists in isolation in a complex environment, and shifts in food quality may lead to indirect OA effects on consumers.

The simultaneous presence of micro(nano)plastics (MNPs) and pollutants represents a prevalent environmental challenge that necessitates understanding their combined impact on toxicity. This study examined the distribution of 5 μm (PS-MP5) and 50 nm (PS-NP50) polystyrene plastic particles during the early developmental stages of marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) and assessed their combined toxicity with triphenyltin (TPT). Results showed that 2 mg/L PS-MP5 and PS-NP50 could adhere to the embryo surface.

The results showed that the composition and structure of the microbial communities varied considerably with the season. Co-occurrence network analysis demonstrated that the microbial network was more complex in summer and positively correlated links (cooperative or symbiotic) were dominated in autumn and winter.

However, there are few studies that consider sulfadiazine biodegradation mechanisms. To comprehensively investigate the process of sulfadiazine biodegradation by plants in a soil system, a potted system that included ryegrass and soil was constructed in this study.
