The plastisphere, defined as the ecological niche for microbial colonization of plastic debris, has been recognized a hotspot pathogenic and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, interactions between bacteria phages facilitated by well their impact on risks to public health, remain unclear. Here, we analyzed metagenomic data from 180 plastisphere environmental samples, stemming four different habitats two types (biodegradable nonbiodegradable plastics) obtained 611 nonredundant metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) 4061 phage contigs. community exhibited decreased diversity virulent proportion compared those found in environments. Indexes phage-host interaction networks indicated significant associations with (ARB), particularly biodegradable plastics. Known phage-encoded auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) were involved nutrient metabolism, antibiotic production, quorum sensing, biofilm formation which contributed enhanced competition survival pathogens ARB hosts. Phages also carried transcriptionally active virulence factor (VFGs) resistance (ARGs), could mediate horizontal transfer communities. Overall, these discoveries suggest that form symbiotic relationships hosts, encoding AMGs mediating gene (HGT) increase source plastisphere.

Integrated farming of rice (IFA), as a time-honored agricultural model, can effectively increase productivity and provide ecological benefits. Rice-wheat rotation rice-crayfish ( Procambarus clarkii ) are two most widely applied IFA patterns in China. In this study, we compared the differences soil microbial communities predicted their functions these models by sequencing 16s rRNA analyzing bioinformation. The results showed that crayfish increased abundance diversity microorganisms. main differentially abundant phyla between groups were Actinobacteriota, Bacteroidota, Desulfobacterota, while genera Bacteroidetes_vadinHA17 , Sphingomonas Thiobacillus . Similarity Percentages (SIMPER) analysis indicated species also had highest contribution to composition groups. Random forest prediction was employed identify potential biomarkers distinguish communities. Spirochaetota identified biomarker phyla. Streptomyces Kribbella Paludibacter could serve genera. Functional Annotation Prokaryotic Taxa (FAPROTAX) revealed dominant bacterial rice-wheat model aerobic chemoheterotrophy chemoheterotrophy. contrast, more diverse, primarily including methylotrophy, human pathogens all methanotrophy. co-occurrence network enhanced modularity community, fewer nodes edges, which implying internal connections. conclusion, wheat planting drove significant paddy fields, with Actinobacteriota Desulfobacterota biomarkers. Compared cultivation, system incorporating richness functions, promoted presence keystone connecting roles. Our study would not only clarify effects different on communities, should valuable insights for future adjusting cropping controlling current problems.

Wetlands are one of the most crucial ecosystems for regulating carbon sequestration and mitigating global climate change. However, disturbance to dynamics caused by microplastics (MPs) in wetlands cannot be overlooked. This review explores impacts MPs on cycles within wetland ecosystems, focusing underlying physicochemical microbial mechanisms. The accumulation sediments can severely destabilize plant root functions, disrupting water, nutrient, oxygen transport, thereby reducing biomass development. Although may temporarily enhance storage, they ultimately accelerate mineralization organic carbon, leading increased atmospheric dioxide emissions undermining long-term sequestration. A critical aspect this process involves shifts community structures driven selective colonization MPs, which affect decomposition methane production, thus posing a threat greenhouse gas emissions. Notably, dissolved matter derived from biodegradable promote photoaging coexisting enhancing release harmful substances aged further impacting microbial-associated due disrupted metabolic activity. Therefore, it is imperative deepen our understanding adverse effects mechanisms health cycles. Future strategies should incorporate regulation ecological engineering techniques develop effective methodologies aimed at maintaining sustainable capacity affected MP contamination.

Marine plastic pollution poses a growing environmental threat, with microplastics accumulating in the global oceans. This study profiles seasonal dynamics and taxonomic composition of plastisphere, microplastic ecosystem, Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Using long-read 16 S 18 metabarcoding, we analyzed offshore whole seawater samples across each season over two-year period. The analysis revealed higher richness prokaryotic communities on compared to seawater, which was predominantly composed Proteobacteria Bacteroidota exhibited notable variability. Benthic eukaryotes were enriched surrounding seawater. Diatoms (Bacillariophyceae), particular, showed significant enrichment within eukaryotic community primarily pennate diatoms Amphora, Navicula, Nitzschia genera, whereas included mostly centric diatoms. Seasonal fluctuations less pronounced than highlighting relative stability this new human-made ecosystem. These findings underscore unique ecological niche microplastic-associated marine environments.
