1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThe phycosphere is an important ecological niche for bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, whether and how the interaction between microalgae and bacteria changed, and its further effect on the transmission of ARGs under pollutant stress remains enigmatic. Here, Auxenochlorella pyrenoidosa was co-cultured with bacteria screened from lake water to explore the algal-bacteria interaction and ARGs' transmission in the presence of florfenicol (FF) and polylactic acid microplastics (PLA MPs).

resultsOur study demonstrated that the growth and metabolism of A. pyrenoidosa were promoted under FF treatment or co-treatment with PLA MPs, validated by phenotypic, transcriptome, and metabolome analyses. In contrast, the abundance of phycospheric bacteria was decreased as a result of niche competition. Nonetheless, the transmission of ARGs in the phycosphere was promoted due to the enrichment of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, especially Pseudomonas, rather than horizontal gene transfer. The algal-bacteria co-culture experiment further suggested that vitamin B6 secreted by Pseudomonas sp. likely contributes to underpinning A. pyrenoidosa' survival under FF and PLA MPs stress.

conclusionsThese findings underscore the dynamic interplay and co-evolution between algae and bacteria under pollutant exposure, and reveal a potential mechanism of vitamin B6-mediated mutualism. This study provides new insights into the assembly of phycospheric bacterial communities and the adaptive strategies of microalgae in contaminated aquatic environments. Video Abstract.
