Streams and rivers form dense networks, shape the Earth's surface and, in their sediments,
provide an immensely large surface area for microbial growth. Biofilms dominate microbial …

Both gradual and extreme weather changes trigger complex ecological responses in river
ecosystems. It is still unclear to what extent trend or event effects alter biodiversity and …

Multi-species, surface-attached biofilms often dominate microbial life in streams and rivers,
where they contribute substantially to biogeochemical processes. The microbial diversity of …

Characterizing the response of microbial communities to a range of antibiotic concentrations
is one of the strategies used to understand the impact of antibiotic resistance. Many studies …

Biofilms, the complex communities of microbiota that live in association with aquatic
interfaces, are considered to be hotspots of microbial life in many aquatic ecosystems …

In the era of the Anthropocene, environmental change is accelerating biodiversity loss
across ecosystems on Earth, among which freshwaters are likely the most threatened …

Recalcitrant plastics in the environment are gradually fragmented into weathered debris
distinguished from their original state by the integrative action of influencing factors, such as …

Biofilms are dynamic habitats which constantly evolve in response to environmental
fluctuations and thereby constitute remarkable survival strategies for microorganisms. The …

The effects of sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) of antibiotics on aquatic
environments is not yet fully understood. Here, we explore these effects by employing a …

The burden of pollutants in water is growing at an alarming rate. The Pollution load is the
chief element responsible for ecological stress in aquatic ecosystems. Causative agents for …
