Plastics, as synthetic polymers, are emerging contaminants that can harm organisms and ecosystems. This study investigates the presence of microplastics in sediments of two rivers in western Cuba, assessing their temporal variability, diversity, and characterizing the types of microplastics in these ecosystems. Additionally, the study examines the relationship between microplastic concentrations, the extracellular enzymatic activity of benthic microbial communities, and nutrient levels in sediments.

Two Gram-stain-negative, curved-rod-shaped, non-motile and aerobic bacteria W6 and I13 were isolated from marine sediment samples collected from Meishan Island located in the East China Sea. Catalase and oxidase activities and hydrolysis of Tween 40, 60 and 80 were positive for both strains, while nitrate reduction, indole production, methyl red reaction and HS production were negative. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA and genome sequences revealed that strains W6 and I13 formed distinct phylogenetic lineages within the genera and , respectively.

(1) Background: Surra is a debilitating disease of wild and domestic animals caused by (), resulting in significant mortality and production losses in the affected animals. This study is the first to assess the genetic relationships of in naturally affected buffaloes from Multan district, Pakistan, using ITS-1 primers and evaluating the effects of parasitemia and oxidative stress on DNA damage and hematobiochemical changes in infected buffaloes. (2) Methods: Blood samples were collected from 167 buffaloes using a multi-stage cluster sampling strategy, and trypomastigote identification was performed through microscopy and PCR targeting RoTat 1.

Soil salinization poses a significant challenge to global agriculture, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions like Xinjiang. , a halophytic plant adapted to saline-alkaline conditions, harbors endophytic microorganisms with potential plant growth-promoting properties. In this study, 177 endophytic bacterial strains were isolated from , and 11 key strains were identified through functional screening based on salt tolerance, nutrient solubilization, and growth-promoting traits.
