Chemical toxicity of microplastics is stronger than particle effects in D. magna

Simona Mondellini, Michael Schwarzer, Matthias Schott, Marvin Kiene, Bettie Cormier, Dipannita Ghosh, Martin G. J. Loeder, Seema Agarwal, Martin Wagner, Christian Laforsch

This study shows that chemical composition of microplastics, rather than physical properties, drives toxicity in D. magna, with varying effects on body length and reproduction.

Microplastics Disrupt Predator-Induced Plasticity in Daphnia across Behavioral, Morphological and Molecular Levels

Julian Brehm, Marco M. Rupprecht, Michael Schwarzer, Luca Liprandi, Anja F. R. M. Ramsperger, Lucia Stuhr, Leon Gasteiger, Lea Bek, Julia Umbach, Jana K Koch, Leon Gröschel, Matthias Schott, Daniel Wagner, Andreas Roempp, Seema Agarwal, , Christian Laforsch

This study shows microplastics impair predator-induced defenses in Daphnia across behavioral, morphological, and molecular levels by disrupting kairomone-mediated plasticity.

A third type of PETase from the marine Halopseudomonas lineage

Onur Turak, Andreas Gagsteiger, Ashank Upadhyay, Mark Kriegel, Peter Salein, Stefanie Böhnke-Brandt, Seema Agarwal, Erik Borchert, Birte Höcker

The paper identifies a new type of PETase from the marine Halopseudomonas lineage with unique active site features and high salt tolerance, proposing a new classification for PETases.
