Introduction Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) have garnered increased attention due to higher persistence, bioaccumulation, long-distance transportation potential, and heightened toxicity to aquatic species and mammals. Methods This paper evaluated the toxic effects of SCCPs on P. tricornutum during a 96-hour acute exposure experiment, focusing on growth inhibition, photosynthetic parameters, and oxidative stress resp...

Introduction Land resources play a vital role in national economic and social development.

Deep ocean blue holes possess steep physicochemical gradients, especially low dissolved oxygen concentration, which shape the extraordinary microbial communities. However, the environmental responses of microorganisms with different lifestyles and knowledge of culturable microorganisms in the blue holes are still unknown. Here, we investigated the bacterial community structure with different lifestyles of the world’s deepest b...
