Phenotypic toxicity, oxidative response, and transcriptomic deregulation of the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis exposed to a toxic cocktail of tire-wear particle leachate

Toxicity of Tire Particle Leachates on Early Life Stages of Keystone Sea Urchin Species

“…Effects of tire particle leachates on survival have also been found for other marine zooplankton. Reported LC 50 values are 47.5 g L − 1 for larvae of M. galloprovincialis (Capolupo et al, 2020), 5.34 g L − 1 for the copepod Tigriopus japonicas (Yang et al, 2022), 35 g L − 1 and <5 g L − 1 for the copepods Calanus and Acartia respectively (Halsband et al, 2020), and 0.6 g L − 1 for the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis (Shin et al, 2022). Similar to our EC 50 findings, the obtained LC 50 value is considerably lower than most reported ones in the literature.…”

“…Also, several studies found high concentrations of metals in TWP leachates (Capolupo et al, 2020;Halsband et al, 2020). While acute toxicity of TWP leachates as well as sub-lethal effects on behavior, development, feeding, reproduction, and biomarkers have been studied in copepods, rotifers, and bivalves (Capolupo et al, 2020;Halsband et al, 2020;Lehtiniemi et al, 2021;Shin et al, 2022;Tallec et al, 2022bTallec et al, , 2022aYang et al, 2022), the number of studied invertebrate species is still limited. Adverse effects of TWP leachates or the tire-derived compound 6PPD-quinone have also been reported for several fish species, resulting in impaired eye development, changes in swimming behavior and mortality (Brinkmann et al, 2022;Chang et al, 2023;Kim et al, 2023;McIntyre et al, 2021;Tian et al, 2021).…”

Key to sessile gnesiotrochan rotifers: Families, monospecific species in Flosculariidae, species of Atrochidae, Conochilidae, and Limnias

“…They are used in aquaculture as food for commercially important target species, including crabs, shrimps, and fishes (Lubzens et al 1989;Turgay et al 2020). Certain rotifers are employed as models in aging studies (Gribble & Mark Welch 2017;Gribble & Snell 2018) and toxicology assessments of various chemicals (Park et al 2022;Shin et al 2022;Snell et al 2019). Regardless of the type of research, it is critical that workers correctly identify the species that they are studying.…”
