Terrestrial animal intestines are hotspots for the enrichment of micro/nano plastics (M/NPs) and antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs). However, little is known about the further impact of M/NPs on the spread of ARGs in animal guts. This study investigates the role of M/NPs (polystyrene) with varying particle sizes (0.

The heavy metal cadmium (Cd) is a toxic and bioaccumulative metal that can be enriched in the tissues and organs of living organisms through the digestive tract. However, more research is needed to determine whether food-sourced Cd affects the homeostasis of host gut microflora. In this study, the snail Bradybaena ravida (Benson) was used as a model organism fed with mulberry leaves spiked with different concentrations of Cd (0, 0.

Hitherto, research on iron(III)-reduction has mainly focused on bacteria rather than fungal communities. To acquire insight into fungi involved in iron(III) reduction, typical organic matters (containing cellulose, glucose, lactate, and acetate) and ferrihydrite were used as electron donors and acceptors, respectively, in the presence of antibiotics. After antibiotic addition, microbial iron(III) reduction was still detected at quite high rates.
