Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most produced synthetic monomers in the world and is widespread in the environment. Due to its adverse effects on life, BPA was replaced by bisphenol analogues (BP). Bacteria can degrade BPA and other bisphenol analogues (BP) diminishing their concentrations in the environment. To summarize the knowledge and contribute to future studies, in this review we surveyed papers on bacterial degradation of twelve different bisphenol analogues published until 2020. A total of 84 original papers from PubMed and Google Scholar were selected for this review. Most of the studies (95.2%, n = 80) on bacterial degradation of bisphenol analogues (BP) focused on bisphenol A (BPA), and then on BPF, and BPS. The number of studies on bacterial degradation of bisphenol analogues increased almost six times from 2000 (n = 2) to 2020 (n = 11). Indigenous microorganisms and the genera Sphingobium and Cupriavidus could degrade several BP. However, few studies focused on Cupriavidus. Biodegradation of BPA does not imply the degradation of other analogues. The acknowledgement of various aspects of BP bacterial biodegradation is vital for choosing the most suitable microorganisms for the bioremediation of a single BP or a mixture of BP.
As bromélias, devido às suas características morfológicas, são capazes de fornecer microhabitats para diversas formas de vida, dentre elas destacam-se os organismos zooplanctônicos. Desse modo, este estudo teve como objetivo descrever a comunidade zooplanctônica presente em bromélias de uma região natural de mata atlântica. Variáveis limnológicas foram mensuradas in situ e as amostras de zooplâncton coletadas utilizando ferramentas específicas, sendo posteriormente analisadas em microscópio óptico. Os táxons mais representativos encontrados foram os protistas dos grupos Cryptophyta e Ciliophora. A maior riqueza encontrada foi de rotíferos, provavelmente relacionada aos altos valores de abundância de ciliados e flagelados, que os servem de alimento. Também foi possível observar as interações faunísticas que existem nesse habitat, obtendo como exemplo o mecanismo de hiperforesia. Por fim, graças à variedade de táxons zooplanctônicos encontrados, desmistifica-se a ideia de que esse ambiente se comporta apenas como um criadouro de vetores de doenças.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
