## Assessment of microbial communities from cold mine environments and subsequent enrichment, isolation and characterization of putative antimony- or copper-metabolizing microorganisms

Authors: Prieto-Fernández F, Lambert S, Kujala K Source: FRONTIERS IN MICROBIOLOGY 15:1386120, 2024, DOI 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1386120
Abstract: Mining activities, even in arctic regions, create waste materials releasing metals and metalloids, which have an impact on the microorganisms inhabiting their surroundings. Some species can persist in these areas through tolerance to meta(loid)s via, e.g., metabolic transformations. Due to the interaction between microorganisms and meta(loid)s, interest in the investigation of microbial communities and their possible applications (like bioremediation or biomining) has increased. The main goal of the present study was to identify, isolate, and characterize microorganisms, from subarctic mine sites, tolerant to the metalloid antimony (Sb) and the metal copper (Cu). During both summer and winter, samples were collected from Finnish mine sites (site A and B, tailings, and site C, a water-treatment peatland) and environmental parameters were assessed...

## An approach to evaluating seasonal responses to acute toxicity of antibiotic nitrofurazone on periphytic ciliated protist communities in marine environments

Authors: Ali A, Wang N, Wang QL et al. Source: EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PROTISTOLOGY 94:126081, 2024, DOI 10.1016/j.ejop.2024.126081
Abstract: Periphytic protists including ciliates are the primary components of microbial communities in which they play a vital role in the progression of food webs by moving resources from lower to higher trophic levels. However, the toxic effects of veterinary antibiotics on periphytic protists across four seasons are minimally understood. Therefore, in this study, a 1-year survey was conducted with the antibiotic nitrofurazone (NFZ) applied at concentrations of 0.0, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, and 12.0 mg/L. Samples of protist communities were collected using microscope glass slides during four seasons in the coastal waters of the Yellow Sea, Qingdao, northern China...

## Microplastic-antifouling paint particle contamination alters microbial communities in surrounding marine sediment

Authors: Tagg AS, Sperlea T, Hassenrück C et al. Source: SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 926:171863, 2024, DOI 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171863
Abstract: Paint used to coat surfaces in aquatic environments often contain biocides to prevent biofouling, and as these coatings degrade, antifouling paint particles (APPs) end up in aquatic, and especially marine, sediments. However, it is currently unclear what further influence APPs in the sediment have on biotic communities or processes. This study investigates how a variety of commercially-available APPs affect the marine microbial community by spiking different laboratory-manufactured APPs to sediment...

Meta-metabolomic responses of river biofilms to cobalt exposure and use
of dose-response model trends as an indicator of effects

Authors: Colas S, Marie B, Milhe-Poutingon M et al. Source: JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 470:134099, 2024, DOI 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134099
**Abstract:** The response of the meta-metabolome is rarely used to characterize the effects of contaminants on a whole community. Here, the meta-metabolomic fingerprints of biofilms were examined after 1, 3 and 7 days of exposure to five concentrations of cobalt (from background concentration to 1 x 10⁻⁵ M) in aquatic microcosms. The untargeted metabolomic data were processed using the DRomics tool to build dose-response models and to calculate benchmark -doses...

Dynamic and structural response of a multispecies biofilm to
environmental perturbations induced by the continuous increase of
benzimidazole fungicides in a permeable reactive biobarrier

Authors: Alvarado-Gutierrez ML, Ruiz-Ordaz N, Galíndez-Mayer J et al. Source: JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING Early Access, DOI 10.1007/s40201-024-00903-3
**Abstract:** This work explores the dynamics of spatiotemporal changes in the taxonomic structure of biofilms and the degradation kinetics of three imidazole group compounds: carbendazim, methyl thiophanate, and benomyl by a multispecies microbial community attached to a fixed bed horizontal tubular reactor (HTR). This bioreactor mimics a permeable reactive biobarrier, which helps prevent the contamination of water bodies by pesticides in agricultural wastewater. To rapidly quantify the microbial response to crescent loading rates of benzimidazole compounds, a gradient system was used to transiently raise the fungicide volumetric loading rates, measuring the structural and functional dynamics response of a microbial community in terms of the volumetric removal rates of the HTR entering pollutants...

Elevated Fungicide and Nutrient Concentrations Change Structure but not Function of
Aquatic Microbial Communities

Authors: Goncalves S, Feckler A, Pollitt A et al. Source: ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY Early Access, DOI 10.1002/etc.5863
**Abstract:** Leaf-associated microorganisms are subjected to anthropogenic pressures, such as the increased exposure to nutrients and fungicides associated with land-use change. We assessed the sensitivity of leaf-associated microbial communities with differing exposure histories, namely, from pristine streams, and streams impacted by wastewater and agricultural run-off (vineyards). In the laboratory, microbial communities were exposed to elevated nutrient (NO₃-N: 0.2-18.0 mg/L, PO₄-P: 0.02-1.8 mg/L) and fungicide concentrations (sum concentration 0-300 µg/L) in a fully crossed 3 x 4 x 4-factorial design over 21 days. Leaf decomposition and exoenzyme activity were measured as functional endpoints, and fungal community composition and microbial abundance served as structural variables...
