Drocco, Camilla. "Assessment of the toxicity of pesticide mixtures on soil microorganisms." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Bourgogne Franche-Comté, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024UBFCK036.
Full textAbstract: Within the ARISTO project, this thesis addresses the need to advance the Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) of pesticides for soil microbes. Given the magnitude of pesticide applications annually and the possible accumulation of active ingredients and their main residues in soil, there is an urgent need to develop an accurate and effective risk assessment strategy. Particular attention is directed towards ammonia oxidizers, crucial contributors to the soil nitrogen cycling. While soil microbial responses to pesticides are relatively well studied, there is a significant knowledge gap regarding the effects on free-living nematodes, organisms closely interacting with the microbial community. This thesis aims also to explore this gap by investigating the responses of both soil microbes and free-living nematodes communities to pesticide mixtures, through a lab-to-field experimental approach.Molecular techniques such as qPCR and next generation sequencing were employed to study changes in microbial community due to pesticide mixture application, while impacts on free-living nematodes were recorded with the traditional taxonomical identification. Our findings suggest that pesticide mixtures do not have a stronger impact on the microbial and nematode communities than that produced by each of the pesticide studied. Overall, molecular techniques targeting microbes and taxonomical identification of nematode provide comprehensive information on the impact of pesticide mixture on the key players of the soil food web, that could be of interest to be implemented in a further revision of the current pesticides EU regulation

Full textIn the framework of risk assessment, more environmentally realistic ecotoxicity tests taking complexity of ecosystems into account must be developed. Despite the importance of microorganisms in ecosystems and in their associated functional processes, this compartment is not enough taken into account in ecotoxicity assessment. The main objective of this thesis was the development of a model microbial food web to evaluate impact of contaminants on freshwater ecosystems. This network is composed of rotifers (Brachionus calyciflorus, primary and secondary consumers) that feed on both algae (Chlorella vulgaris, primary producer) and protozoa (Tetrahymena pyriformis, bacterivorous ciliate). A nitrifying microbial consortium produced in the laboratory associated with protozoa constitute a microbial loop that ensure trophic links between bacteria and metazoans. Organisms of the microbial network are in interaction by trophic relationships (prey-predator) and/or by functions they ensure within the ecosystem (oxygen production, primary production, nutrient recycling). The system can evolve into 4 ml over at least 28 days without medium renewing and, for example can allow to analyze the resilience of the system over a long period of time. In order to better evaluate different effects of pollutants on the food web, various analytical methods have been adapted and tested on this system. Among them, monitoring rotifer population dynamics was found to be a suitable parameter to evaluate the response of the miniaturized ecosystem to contaminants in a simple and fast way

Thesis, Perpignan, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020PERP0025.
Full textNumerous herbicides target an enzyme found not only in weeds but also in « non-target organisms » such as microorganisms. This proof-of-concept study aims to use microbial gene encoding the targeted enzyme or the targeted enzyme itself as a marker for herbicide exposure in soils. The hppd gene and the encoded enzyme (HPPD; 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase), targeted by B-triketone herbicides, are the subject of this study. In silico analyses reveal that the hppd gene is spread out in all bacterial phyla. Primers specific to this gene were designed. This primer pair is used to measure the abundance, the composition and the diversity of the hppd bacterial community in soil microcosms exposed to sulcotrione or its commercial formulation, Decano®. Similar measurements are made, over a cropping cycle, on agricultural fields treated with various herbicides, including B-triketones. No significant effect of B-triketone herbicides were observed at the bacterial community scale, strengthening their “eco-friendly” reputation. At the enzymatic scale, molecular docking studies reveal that B-triketones bind more closely to certain bacterial HPPD than others. The developed bioassay reinforces this observation: regarding the bacterial strain, ?-triketones have a variable inhibitory effect on the HPPD enzymatic activity. Tembotrione has a greater inhibitory effect on the HPPD activity of Bacillus cereus ATCC14579 and Shewanella oneidensis MR1 than sulcotrione and mesotrione. This bioassay could be used as a marker of exposure for B-triketones risk assessment studies requested by authorities in charge of pesticide regulation

Full textThis work aims to describe the ecodynamics of synthetic (sulcotrione and mesotrione) and natural (leptospermone) -triketone herbicides and to estimate their ecotoxicological impact on the bacterial community in arable soils. The processes involved in the dissipation of these herbicides (adsorption and biodegradation) have been studied in soil microcosms. Two bacterial strains, Bradyrhizobium sp. SRl able to degrade sulcotrione and mesotrione, and Methylophilus sp. LS1 degrading leptospermone, have been isolated. A bank of 12 ooo mutants of Bradyrhizobium sp. SR1 was established allowing the selection of two Sul•mutants but interrupted genes didn't code for enzymes degrading sulcotrione. The ecotoxicological impact of synthetic (sulcotrione) and natural (leptospermone) triketones on soil bacterial community was estimated using metagenomics and metabolomic tools. Leptospermone transitory modified the diversity and composition of the bacterial community, in accordance with its persistence in soil. Sulcotrione did not modified neither the diversity nor the composition of the bacterial community. The combination of metagenomics and metabolomics is promising for the assessment of ecotoxicological impact of herbicides on soil microorganisms

Full textMicrobes or microorganisms are the primary producers of ecosystem services for biogeochemical cycles of the earth and biological systems. Xenobiotics mark a new anthropogenic era, "the Anthropocene," and they represent a source of artificial selection of the structure and composition of microbial biodiversity. As a result, anthropogenic disturbances are detrimental to microbial systems and induce adaptive changes or damage in their metagenomic repertories. During resistance and recovery, the ecological processes governing the assembly of microbial communities cannot be dissociated from those of microbial evolution. This work stems from the transdisciplinary intersection of ecotoxicology, microbial ecology, metagenomics and bioinformatics. The main goal is to understand the adaptive signatures of microbial resistance and resilience in two models. The first is environmental (E) composed of a lake-bound watershed contaminated by heavy metals. The second model is hostassociated (HA), consisting of an experimental system of perch (Perca flavescens) intoxicated with cadmium using two steady and gradual regimes. Three novelties summarize the work of this doctoral thesis. Firstly, the phenomenon of taxon-function decoupling has been demonstrated for the first time, in the E system under selective pollution gradient, and second, within the cutaneous microbiota in the HA system during its recovery stage. Third, the microbiota assembly modelling in the HA system suggested mixed effects of ontogenesis, and selective pressure during the period of resistance and recovery. The increase in cadmium bioaccumulation in liver tissues of perch can argue the persistence of the long-term effects of selection during the recovery stage. In conclusion, our work showed that the adaptation of microbial metagenomic repertories could be revealed through functional and taxonomic redundancy patterns observed at the scale of taxon-function decoupling. The gap between functional and taxonomic diversity reflects an adaptive strategy by horizontal gene transfer among environmental communities microbial under gradual disruption In the HA system, the microbiota assembly shows a gradient of neutral and non-neutral processes. Finally, the taxonomic drift is a significant ecological force, more effective in the environmental system than in the intestinal system during and after the disruption.
Demailly, Floriane. "Impacts de contaminants sur les acides gras des diatomées." Thesis, Bordeaux, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020BORD0039.
Full textFatty acids (FA), which are the main components of storage and structural lipids, are crucial for the maintenance of membrane fluidity and play a central role in metabolic energy storage. Pesticide impacts on FA profiles have been documented in marine microalgae, but remain understudied in freshwater diatoms. In the same way, no study has focused on the impact of herbicides on their lipid content. The main aims of this study were to: 1) compare the responses of FA profiles and “classical descriptors” in order to evaluate their complementarity, 2) estimate the effect of herbicides on lipid content and composition of one freshwater diatom and finally, 3) examine the potential of 20:5n3 as a biomarker of herbicide pollution. To address these issues, Gomphonema gracile and Nitzschia palea were exposed during seven days to diuron and S-metolachlor at 10 μg.L-1. The results demonstrated higher toxicity of diuron compared to S-metolachlor at 10 μg.L-1 on all descriptors studied. FA responded to diuron contamination conversely to pigment content and permitted to document energy content variations in diatoms subjected to herbicide stress conversely to “classical descriptors”. Total lipid composition was impacted by diuron with a notable decrease of storage lipids. Diuron affected the content of 20:5n3 in lipids involved in photosynthesis. Based on previous studies and our current findings, it is suggested that 20:5n3 content in diatoms could be a good biomarker of diuron pollution in freshwaters
Merlin, Chloé. "Recherche de la signature biologique de la dégradation du chlordécone dans le sol des Antilles françaises." Thesis, Dijon, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015DIJOS001/document.
Full textThe use of chlordecone (CLD) to eradicate the weevil populations in the banana plantations in the French West Indies (Guadeloupe and Martinique) between 1972 and 1993 led to the contamination of the soil and the environment. This very hydrophobic organochlorine insecticide persists in the soil where it slowly transfers not only to the water resources but also to terrestrial and aquatic biota (plants, animals, fishes, shellfishes). Deemed “non-degradable”, CLD is resistant to photolysis, hydrolysis and biodegradation. To date, there is no method to remediate the 20,000 hectares of polluted soil with this insecticide. Given the extent of CLD pollution, biological decontamination processes appear appropriate to the Caribbean context. The objectives of my thesis were to explore the possibilities of microbial transformation of CLD and to assess the ecotoxicological impact of CLD on the soil microbial community. My work is based on the hypothesis that microbial populations chronically exposed to CLD would be adapted to its degradation to detoxify their environment or possibly for use as an energy source for growth.To do so, I developed an analysis method in soils and microbial cultures based on the use of stable isotope to trace CLD. I conducted enrichment experiments with CLD polluted soils from Guadeloupe yielding in the isolation of one hundred fungal strains and nearly two hundred bacterial strains. No degrading bacterial strains have been identified although few of them formed dissolution halo of CLD on solid media. Among the fungal isolates, only F. oxysporum sp. MIAE01197 grew on a mineral medium containing CLD as sole carbon source and dissipated 40% of the CLD. This isolate was twice more tolerant than the reference isolate which had never been exposed to CLD. This isolate mineralizes 14C-CLD very lowly, formed very few 14C-metabolites, but the 14C-CLD was adsorbed on the fungal cell walls, suggesting that the adsorption was the main mechanism involved in the dissipation of the CLD. Analysis of three other isolates belonging to the genus Aspergillus confirmed that exposure to CLD was one of the parameters improving the tolerance of fungal strains to CLD and fungal biomass was capable of adsorbing the CLD in proportions close to those obtained with activated carbon used to treat drinking water in the French West Indies.The assessment of the CLD ecotoxicological impact on the microbial community and functions it supports was carried out on two soils never exposed to CLD showing contrasting physicochemical properties. The analysis of the overall structure (evaluated by RISA), the abundance and the activity of the microbial community of the silty-clay soil were not affected by the CLD. However, the taxonomic composition (evaluated by group specific qPCR) and respiratory activity of the microbial community were affected by the CLD in the sandy soil. These results showed that the toxicity of CLD for microbial community depends on the physicochemical properties of the soil which may determine its bioavailability. Further studies are needed to evaluate the possible toxicity of the CLD on Caribbean soil ecosystemic functions

Full textMicropollutants, including pesticides and pharmaceuticals, pose a growing threat to aquatic ecosystems. In aquatic ecosystems, micropollutants encounter the sediment-water interface (SWI), a crucial biogeochemical hotspot for their dissipation. This PhD thesis examines the effects of environmental factors on the degradation of emblematic micropollutants, such as (S)-metolachlor (agricultural herbicide), terbutryn (urban biocide) and metformin (antidiabetic drug) in laboratory microcosms mimicking the sediment-water interface. Additionally, it explores how prokaryotic communities respond to exposure to micropollutant mixtures, successive contamination events, and varying oxygen conditions. Dissipation of metformin and metolachlor occurred while terbutryn persisted. Metformin dissipation also occurred under anoxic conditions. Sequence analysis of 16S rRNA gene amplicons evidenced distinct responses of prokaryotic communities in experiments with individual micropollutant or mixtures thereof, and a combined effect of metformin exposure and alternances of oxygen conditions. A newly developed model highlighted non-additive antagonistic and synergistic effects of micropollutants on specific taxa across taxonomic levels. Finally, exploratory Stable Isotope Probing experiments with 13C-glucose and methyl-labelled 13C2-metformin were designed to identify potential metformin-dimethylamine assimilating prokaryotes. Altogether, this thesis provides a framework to investigate dynamics governing the behaviour of micropollutant mixtures and underscores the diversity of potential interactions between micropollutants, prokaryotic communities, and environmental factors in the study of multi-contaminated SWI

Full textMany streams are impacted by metallic pollution. In such ecosystems, microbial communities, which grow preferentially as biofilms, can be affected by these pollutants. However, there is a need to better assess the impact of toxic substances under multi-stress interactions. In this context, the main aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of temperature on biofilm response to copper (Cu) exposure. Accordingly, we addressed the influence of temperature on microbial community sensitivity to Cu on the one hand, and its influence on biofilm exposure to this metal on the other hand. Microcosm experiments were performed under laboratory conditions using biofilms sampled in winter or summer. This work allowed us to set up new methodological developments, which were applied to improve the protocols used to measure (i) Cu tolerance levels of biofilm microbial communities and (ii) Cu bioaccumulation in biofilms. Results showed that temperature could modulate structural and functional effects of Cu on biofilms, notably due to a decrease in Cu bioaccumulation at higher temperatures. In addition, our findings indicate that temperature increase could influence the sensitivity of microbial communities to Cu, whether they have been previously chronically exposed (PICT) or not to this metal. Nonetheless, temperature effects on biofilms varied among experiments, revealing that the influence of temperature on the effects of Cu on microbial biofilms depends on many parameters, such as the initial composition of communities, the level of the applied stresses (temperature and Cu), the microbial compartment studied (i.e. phototrophic or heterotrophic), or the measured functional parameters

Full textManufactured metallic nanoparticles (NPs) are emerging pollutants of soils due to their increasing utilization in numerous commercial products (cosmetics, food, paint…). In vitro studies have demonstrated NPs toxicity on microorganisms but data are still scarce on the fate and ecotoxicity of these contaminants in soils. The objective of this thesis was to assess the influence of soil properties on (i) the physicochemical characteristics and the transport of NPs, and (ii) on the NPs toxicity on soil microbial communities, especially on microbial functional groups involved in carbon and nitrogen cycles. This work highlighted that soil properties influenced the aggregation and the surface charges of titanium dioxide NPs (TiO2-NPs) and copper oxide NPs (CuO-NPs). In the six agricultural soils studied, we observed a very low transport of the two NPs in a soil column experiment. We observed a low toxicity of TiO2-NPs for soil microbial communities, except in a silty-clay soil with a high organic matter content. In this soil, microbial activities (soil respiration, nitrification and denitrification) and nitrifier abundances were strongly decreased and archaeal and bacterial community structure were altered after 90 days of exposure. Furthermore in this soil, we observed decreases of nitrification activity, even for very low TiO2-NPs concentrations (0.05 mg kg-1) which were explained by a high sensitivity of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) involved in this process. Additional studies in soil columns demonstrated that chronic contamination with TiO2-NPs caused more deleterious effects on nitrification than acute contamination

Full textLimiting plastic pollution has become a priority to limit already existing impacts on natural ecosystems. Manufacturing of so-called biodegradable plastics is part of the solutions willing to limit this pollution. However, standard methods (ISO, AFNOR, ASTM…) validating plastics biodegradability in aquatic environments have been highly criticized in the scientific literature, especially for their lack of relevance towards the natural environment. This thesis aims at strengthening the knowledge on plastic biodegradability in aquatic environments and proposing new insights for improving the current standard methods, while focusing on bacterial communities associated to these plastic debris in natural environment, referred to as the “plastisphere”. The first part of this work focuses on the microbial communities associated to floating plastic debris on the river-sea continuum, thanks to an 8-month campaign on 9 European rivers (the Tara Microplastic mission, supported by the Tara Oceans foundation). Indeed, it is estimated that 80% of plastic debris found at sea are land-based, arriving at sea through the rivers. The taxonomic study of plastic-associated communities showed a clear distinction between plastisphere from sea and riverine samples (included pathogens). The second part of this work focuses on protocols for the evaluation of plastic biodegradability at sea. A miniaturized experimental design allowed to generate numerous experimental conditions and replicates to test the influence of test medium (natural or synthetic sea water), but also the bacterial inoculum diversity (sea water or natural bacterial biofilm) and its concentration (104, 105 and 106 cells per mL) on different polymer types (polyethylene-PE, polyhydroxyalkanoates-PHA and cellulose). Bacterial activities (respirometry, heterotrophic bacterial production), biodegradation products (oligomers) and nutrients concentration were monitored during 90 days of incubation. These experiments highlighted the relevance of using a preselected inoculum (1-month mature biofilm grown on the tested polymer) and to follow the possible nutrients limitations (nitrogen and phosphorus) for biodegradability testing in conditions close to the natural conditions. The third part of this work is an application of the testing method for the study of the marine biodegradability of 7 formulas of PHA exhibiting various chemical compositions and physical properties. Our tests indicate that PHA biodegradability is tightly related to the presence of hydroxybutyric acid monomers, which is the most widespread PHA monomer and also the most targeted by microbial enzymes responsible of their biodegradation. This PhD work contributes to a better understanding of microbial ecology related to plastic biodegradability at sea and paves the way for improving the standard methods for testing of marine plastic biodegradability

Full textThe increasing awareness on the impact of plastic pollution within the marine environment has stimulated countless of scientific studies. For the past decade, researchers have quantified plastic waste and assessed its fate at sea. It is estimated that more than 5.25 billion plastic particles float within the world’s oceans today. This PhD work is a result in part of this major environmental concern. It brings with it new knowledge about the marine bacterial communities that develop on plastic debris, also termed as the "plastisphere". The analysis of samples taken from the Tara-Mediterranean expedition allowed us, for the first time, to characterize, and quantify communities specific towards plastic biofilms in comparison to the communities attached to organic matter in surrounding seawater. Bacterial colonization and its evolution on different types of polymers was studied using microcosm experiments with open seawater circulation. The unusual coupling of biological and physicochemical data of plastic surfaces revealed a greater bacterial development on "biodegradable" polymers compared to conventional polymer types (especially hydrocarbonoclastic species). We showed that the composition of the polymer, together with its hydrophobicity and roughness, influences the diversity of bacterial communities during the early colonization steps. Finally, a greater bacterial biofilm activity (e.g. heterotrophic productions) was observed on polymer surfaces compared to seawater. Once again, differences according to plastic types have been observed. This present work highlights the existence of a new ecological niche on plastics that are distinct from the surrounding seawater

Full textNowadays, plastic waste has invaded all of the world's marine ecosystems, sparing no area. The global demand for plastic continues to grow year after year, despite its dramatic impact on the environment when plastic is left in nature. It is estimated that each year between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes of plastics end up in the oceans. This PhD aims and works fall within the framework of this environmental emergency, by making possible to better identify the bacterial biofilms attached to different plastics (the so called "plastisphere) and to better characterize the biodegradation process of certain polymers in the marine environment. The first stage, was to analyse the microbial diversity of samples taken during two expeditions (the Tara-Mediterranean expedition and Tara-Pacific) in order to characterize the biogeography of bacterial biofilms specific to plastics. The comparison between samples from the Pacific and the Mediterranean see allow to highlight an ecological niche on the surface of plastics distinct from the surrounding water. Niche which is clearly influenced by geography, explained mainly by temperature. The taxonomic study revealed a "core microbiome" dominated by a genus affiliated to the cyanobacteria and families (Rhodobacteraceae and flavobacteraceae) known to be colonizers of plastic in the marine environment. Then, the bacterial colonization on different polymers was studied in aquarium using uninterrupted circulation of seawater collected continuously from the Banyuls Bay. The biodegradation process was studied using an artificial environment without any other carbon source than the polymer in order to mimic the marine environment, and by following several experimental parameters (Bacterial production, respiration, loss of mass). In our study we observed during the growth phase of the biofilm no specific microbial communities related to the nature of the polymers. The biodegradation process has been demonstrated on certain polymers such as PHBV, Bioplast, Mater-Bi and cellulose, in particular due to the bacterial activity maintained throughout the incubation. Next, a strain Alteromonas sp., isolated from the mature biofilm of the PHBV allow us to explore its biodegradation capabilities. The analysis of the genome of Alteromonas sp. revealed the presence of 4 depolymerases, with 3 external and 1 internal, explaining its ability to degrade PHBV. The study of the genome also revealed two pathways for the PHA synthesis, one allowing the synthesis of PHASCL and the other of PHAMCL. Finally, the study of the biodegradation of PHBV by a natural consortium was done using isotopic labelling of the polymer. This experiment, coupled with metagenomic analysis, allowed the study of functional communities that can assimilate the carbon of the polymer. Thus, this PhD work enhanced the identification of the bacterial communities inhabiting the biofilms developed on the surface of polymers (biodegradable and non-degradable), and also to refine the characterization of the biodegradation process in the marine environment owing the use of various parameters such as the bacterial production, respiration, weight loss, monitoring of labeled carbon and microscopy. These studies are essential for a better understanding of the biodegradation process of plastics at sea and thus to propose adaptations to the standards methods governing the marine environment and currently not very representative

Full textGlobal changes cannot be ignored nowadays and human activities causing these disruptions tend to increase with, for example, the growing use of chemicals. The resulting pollution can then have a strong impact on ecosystems, in particular those of fresh surface waters.This thesis first showed through a high-frequency sampling of a typically Mediterranean river (the Têt River), during a characteristic intense rainy event, that multicontaminations occur with the presence in natural waters of nutrients, trace metals, pesticides and pharmaceuticals among others. These multicontamination phenomena are mainly related to the overflows of the sewage system that take place through storm overflows. This study has also shown, through the use of the new MiSeq high-throughput sequencing technique, that changes in the structural diversities of aquatic bacterial communities of suspended matter evolve mainly according to the hydrodynamics of the river, the strongest dissimilarities between the communities being observed during peak flow. The physico-chemical environmental parameters also have a major impact on the structure of communities, which could lead to the exploration of bacterial taxa associated with a characteristic contaminations dynamic, to the discovery of specific biomarkers of these phenomena

Full textThe sedimentary compartment results from the accumulation of suspended particles resulting from the watershed erosion. These particles are associated with microorganisms and organic and inorganic contaminants resulting from human activity. Sediments are therefore the site of multiple interactions between microorganisms and contaminants. The aim of this thesis was to study the impact of chronic exposure to trace metals (TMEs) on the diversity, composition and structure of microbial communities and/or the enrichment of the resistome. In this context, the study of a sedimentary archive (Martot pond), integrating a multi-metallic contamination varying over the time, demonstrated that microbial communities are sensitive indicators to TMEs. However, microbial dynamics are more strongly influenced by other parameters, such as the source of sediment inputs and the characteristics of the organic matter. A second part of this thesis focused on recent sediments from a roadside stormwater retention basin enriched in antimony (Sb). The high geochemical reactivity of Sb within the basin (i.e., concentration, oxidation state and ligands) was correlated with changes in the composition of total and active microbial communities, within which, numerous genes involved in resistance (i.e., arsB, acr3, arsK, antA), and oxidation processes (i.e., arsB, acr3, arsK, antA), were identified. In parallel, the study of the antimonite oxidase AnoA, involved specifically in Sb(III) oxidation, suggests a much wider taxonomic distribution than previously thought. New primer sets have been created to amplify the anoA gene across different taxonomic groups (Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria and Actinobacteria) and will enable us to better assess the contribution of this enzyme to Sb oxidation in complex microbial communities

Full textFreshwater ecosystems are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances. Indeed, they can be subject to multiple forms of pollution via, among other things, the leaching of soil from catchment basins but also the remobilisation of sediment from river beds and sewerage networks, phenomena that are accentuated during rainy episodes, which are particularly intense and frequent in regions with a Mediterranean climate. In a Mediterranean event studied previously, it was shown that discharges of pollutant mixtures occurred, coinciding with the water discharge peak and combined sewer overflows (CSO) that preceded it. During this thesis, we were able to verify that these multipollutions are recurrent, occurring at each CSO and water discharge peak along two other floods. We hypothesised that fluvial microbial communities, which constitute the only biological compartment able to degraded pollutants, could be largely impacted by these recurrent multipollutions in Mediterranean. This thesis aimed to determine the impact of pollutant mixtures on the evolution of the fluvial microbiome during extreme rainfall events via statistical modelling coupling high throughput sequencing data to a wide range of environmental parameters. Results showed a significant relationship between multipollutions events at CSOs and water discharge peak and the appearance of microorganisms linked to faecal matter, urban environments and resistant to pollutants and/or pathogens, which could strongly affect riverine resident communities. Given the rapid response of the fluvial microbiome to multi-pollutants, we were able to identify key multi-stress microorganisms, that could be used as new biomarkers to be incorporated into a multi-pollutant detection tool for water quality monitoring
