Coastal macrophytes serve as bioindicators of coastal trace metal contamination. In this
study, trace metal levels in India's seagrass and saltmarsh ecosystems were assessed for …

Bioremediation is an environmentally sound and cost-effective strategy to restore soils
contaminated with petroleum oil. In this study, native bio-surfactant-producing bacteria able …

Rapid accumulation of end-of-life polyurethanes (PUR) in the environment is a global crisis.
While biodegradation of PUR has been reported, the process is slow, and the microbiology …

The structure and diversity of microbial community inhabiting coastal sediments reflect the
exposition to contaminants. Aiming to assess the changes in the microbiota from Sepetiba …

Coastal trace metal contamination is of serious concern and the role of new bioindicator
species in monitoring of trace metals is essential. The present study quantified the …

Introduction The deposition of solid particles carried by production fluids from oil and gas
companies in horizontal surfaces of different assets has shown to cause severe localised …

The adsorption of trace metals on microplastics (MPs) is affected by the presence of surficial
biofilms but their interactions are poorly understood. Here, we present the influence of Cu …

The cumulative effects of anthropogenic stress on freshwater ecosystems are becoming
increasingly evident and worrisome. In lake sediments contaminated by heavy metals, the …

Background Although considered as holobionts, macroalgae and their surface microbiota
share intimate interactions that are still poorly understood. Little is known on the effect of …

Although benthic microbial community offers crucial insights into ecosystem services, they
are underestimated for coastal sediment monitoring. Sepetiba Bay (SB) in Rio de Janeiro …
