Cold-water gut isolate from threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) reveals polypropylene surface oxidation and co-culture inhibition

Sarah M. Pasqualetti, Jolie Atwood, Abiodun Daniel Aderibigbe…·Kathryn Milligan‐McClellan

The paper isolates gut microbes from threespine stickleback and finds some degrade plastic, but interactions between microbes can inhibit this activity.

Lake size shapes the relationship between body mass and gut microbiota in threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus)

Sihan Bu, Sania Chaudhary, Rebecca Kramer-Earley…·Kathryn Milligan‐McClellan

This study shows that lake size influences how body mass relates to gut microbiota diversity in threespine stickleback fish, with intermediate-sized lakes showing the most diverse microbiota.
