DANGEROUS BACTERIA THRIVE ON OCEAN PLASTIC DEBRIS

Specialist bacteria have seem to be eating the plastic garbage we throw into the ocean, but recent research shows that dangerous Vibrio bacteria are also living in plastic debris. Plastic has become the most common form of marine debris since it entered the consumer arena less than 60 years ago, and presents a major and growing global pollution problem. Despite this, what we know about plastic on open ocean ecosystems is poorly understood, particularly for microbial communities. 

Researchers has collected floating plastic in the North Atlantic  and after analyze them with scanning electron microscopy and next-generation sequencing to characterize the attached microbial communities they unveiled a diverse microbial community refer to as the “Plastisphere”. 

Visualization of the surface show active hydrolysis of plastic (as the main picture). As proof, a DNA analisis identified several hydrocarbon-degrading gene in these bacteria, supporting the possibility that microbes play a role in degrading plastic. Some Plastisphere members may be opportunistic pathogens such as Vibrio bacteria that dominated one plastic samples. Plastisphere communities are distinct from surrounding surface water, implying that plastic serves as a novel ecological habitat in the open ocean. Vibrio are bacterias found in seawater, and cause Vibriosis. People with vibriosis become infected by consuming raw or undercooked seafood or exposing a wound to seawater, which could lead to death.

Plastic has a longer half-life than most natural floating marine substrates, and a hydrophobic surface that promotes microbial colonization and biofilm formation.

PPT - Effectiveness of practiced management options to control sheath blight disease PowerPoint Presentation - ID:13862121

Severity of the infection of sheath blight disease can be very devastating problem to the farmer for rice cultivation. Some of these consequences are major yield losses. The objective to identify sustainable management options for sheath blight disease. Field experiments were conducted with cultivated variety Swarna during three consecutive kharif seasons belong to the area of Rajshahi zone at three locations (Paba, Baraigram, Patnitala). Two management systems viz. Floating debris with Folicur and Folicur with ½ MOP were used in three locations to compare their effectiveness against rice sheath blight disease. The highest fertile tiller hill-1 was recorded at Paba location using Floating debris with Folicur. Maximum disease incidence was recorded at Patnitala location and minimum disease incidence was found at Baraigram. Between two management Floating debris with Folicur was better than Folicur with ½ MOP to reduces the disease incidence at all locations. The highest yield was found at Paba location using Floating debris with Folicur. Between two management systems, Floating debris with Folicur was better than Folicur with ½ MOP (Muriate of potash) to increase yield. Considering the efficiency and eco-friendly it would be considered that Floating debris with Folicur was effective management for sheath blight disease of rice.

HONOLULU | Scientists find tiny baby octopus floating on Hawaii trash

HONOLULU — Hawaii scientists found two tiny baby octopuses floating on plastic trash they were cleaning up as they monitored coral reefs.

Marine ecologist Sallie Beavers of Kaloko-Honokohau (KAH-loh-koh Hoh-noh-KOH-how) National Historical Park said Wednesday that the octopuses were the size of green peas.

She believes they were likely either day octopus or night octopus, both species commonly…
