However, the specific impacts of BPA exposure on clam gills remain largely unexplored. To investigate the effects of BPA on energy metabolism and apoptosis in Meretrix petechialis gills, clams were exposed to varying concentrations of BPA (1, 10, and 100 μg/L) for 21 days. Results showed that BPA exposure induced gill histopathological injuries and inhibited filtration rates. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed mitochondrial injury and dysfunction as potential mechanisms of gill damage. Transcriptome analysis identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) primarily enriched in energy metabolism and apoptosis pathways. BPA-induced changes in ATP content, ATPase, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities suggested dysregulation of energy metabolism. TUNEL staining demonstrated enhanced apoptotic signals with increasing BPA concentrations. Activation of the caspase-3/9 pathway indicated a concentration-dependent, mitochondria-dependent apoptotic process. Additionally, the expression of genes associated with mitochondria (NNT, TOMM40, and SLC25A11), energy metabolism (PCK1 and pdhC), inducing mitochondria-dependent apoptosis (NFKB1, RAC1, and TRAF2), and oxidative stress (GSTT1) was affected by BPA exposure. Integrated biomarker response version 2 (IBRv2) values further confirmed a concentration-dependent gill toxicity of BPA via the mitochondrial pathway.

Results revealed that Li could increase the conjugative transfer frequency of both donor and recipient via different mechanisms at varying concentrations.

While cyanobacterial blooms in eutrophic lakes are widely investigated, the dynamics of cyanobacteria and the effects of their toxins and bioactive metabolites on the plankton communities in mesotrophic and oligotrophic lakes are less well understood. Here we investigated seasonal dynamics of cyanobacteria, eukaryotic algae and cyanotoxins in oligo-mesotrophic Lake Geneva—the largest and deepest lake in western Europe. High-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA genes in 143 samples along a water column revealed that Lake Geneva hosts diverse, co-dominant cyanobacterial genera, including <ce:italic>Planktothrix, Cyanobium, Pseudanabaena</ce:italic>, and <ce:italic>Aphanizomenon.</ce:italic> The abundance of the <ce:italic>mcyA</ce:italic> gene marker for microcystin production was highly correlated with total cyanobacteria abundance, obtained from qPCR of the 16S rRNA genes. Targeted LC-HRMS/MS analysis demonstrated peak concentrations of cyanotoxins in September and December 2021 at the deep chlorophyll-a maximum layer, reaching up to 1474 ng/l for anabaenopeptins and 144 ng/l for microcystins. The toxin peaks did not correlate with the abundance or variations in the cyanobacteria or eukaryote community, but they were correlated in time with seasonal lows in the abundances of ciliates (18S rRNA analysis). Laboratory exposure tests demonstrated that growth of the model ciliate <ce:italic>Tetrahymena pyriformis</ce:italic> was inhibited by Microcystin-RR and Anabaenopeptin A at environmentally relevant concentrations in the ng/l-range, in natural lake water, synthetic freshwater, and growth media spiked with the cyanotoxins. Our findings suggest that even low concentrations (in the ng/l-range) of microcystins and anabaenopeptins, reduce growth of ciliates such as <ce:italic>T. pyriformis</ce:italic> and can be expected to have wider impacts on the eukaryote communities.","PeriodicalId":248,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Toxicology","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143072596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated the effects of polystyrene (PS) MPs with different particle sizes (100 nm and 30 μm) on the physiological responses and degradation behavior of <ce:italic>Phaeodactylum tricornutum</ce:italic> to sulfamerazine (SMR). Results showed that microalgae growth was inhibited by SMR, and MPs especially those of smaller size exacerbated the inhibitory effects of SMR on microalgae, including decreasing the content of chlorophyll a, carotenoids, malondiadehyde and superoxide dismutase activity. MPs exhibited low adsorption towards SMR, and MPs especially 30 μm MPs strengthened SMR photodegradation through leaching more organic chemicals. In comparison, 100 nm MPs obstructed the light, resulting in insignificant effects on photodegradation. Apart from photodegradation, SMR could be bioaccumulated and biodegraded by microalgae, and biodegradation was the main removal mechanism. The overall influence of MPs on SMR degradation by microalgae was a balance of the promotion on photodegradation and negative effects on microalgae growth, with the degradation efficiency and rate of SMR significantly lower in treatment of 100 nm MPs (0.0128 ± 0.0012 day<ce:sup loc=\"post\">−1</ce:sup>, 30.13 ± 0.36 %) than treatments without MPs (0.0155 ± 0.0011 day<ce:sup loc=\"post\">−1</ce:sup>, 32.90 ± 3.11 %) or with 30 μm MPs (0.0165 ± 0.0013 day<ce:sup loc=\"post\">−1</ce:sup>, 34.46 ± 2.52 %).

Correspondingly, combined NPs and Hg presented the most pronounced transcriptomic response with a series of changes in cell functions and down-regulation of key genes in the DNA replication pathway and reproductive function as compared to NPs or Hg alone. The findings indicated adverse combined effects of NPs and Hg on <ce:italic>P. annandalei</ce:italic> under multigenerational scenarios, being a greater ecological risk for planktonic copepod than NPs or Hg alone.
