“…Litoditis marina has been proposed as a marine model due to its sensitivity to crude oil and diesel pollution, pesticide pollution, and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) detergent pollution. Studies have used a wide range of parameters to measure response to pollution, including mortality assay, LC50, fecundity, egg deposition time, abundance of eggs, embryonic and post‐embryonic development time, and adult sex ratio (Monteiro et al ., 2018; Oliveira et al ., 2020; Francolino et al ., 2021).…”

Aquatic invertebrates play a pivotal role in (eco)toxicological assessments because they offer ethical, cost‐effective and repeatable testing options. Additionally, their significance in the food chain and their ability to represent diverse aquatic ecosystems make them valuable subjects for (eco)toxicological studies. To ensure consistency and comparability across studies, international (eco)toxicology guidelines have been used to establish standardised methods and protocols for data collection, analysis and interpretation. However, the current standardised protocols primarily focus on a limited number of aquatic invertebrate species, mainly from Arthropoda, Mollusca and Annelida. These protocols are suitable for basic toxicity screening, effectively assessing the immediate and severe effects of toxic substances on organisms. For more comprehensive and ecologically relevant assessments, particularly those addressing long‐term effects and ecosystem‐wide impacts, we recommended the use of a broader diversity of species, since the present choice of taxa exacerbates the limited scope of basic ecotoxicological studies.This review provides a comprehensive overview of (eco)toxicological studies, focusing on major aquatic invertebrate taxa and how they are used to assess the impact of chemicals in diverse aquatic environments. The present work supports the use of a broad‐taxa approach in basic environmental assessments, as it better represents the natural populations inhabiting various ecosystems. Advances in omics and other biochemical and computational techniques make the broad‐taxa approach more feasible, enabling mechanistic studies on non‐model organisms. By combining these approaches with in vitro techniques together with the broad‐taxa approach, researchers can gain insights into less‐explored impacts of pollution, such as changes in population diversity, the development of tolerance and transgenerational inheritance of pollution responses, the impact on organism phenotypic plasticity, biological invasion outcomes, social behaviour changes, metabolome changes, regeneration phenomena, disease susceptibility and tissue pathologies. This review also emphasises the need for harmonised data‐reporting standards and minimum annotation checklists to ensure that research results are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR), maximising the use and reusability of data. The ultimate goal is to encourage integrated and holistic problem‐focused collaboration between diverse scientific disciplines, international standardisation organisations and decision‐making bodies, with a focus on transdisciplinary knowledge co‐production for the One‐Health approach.

“…Moreover, the toxic effects of atrazine, such as neurotoxic, endocrine disrupting, and cancerogenic have been reported ( Hayes et al, 2002 ; Shenoy, 2012 ; Shan et al, 2021 ). Many studies have been illustrated the toxic effects of atrazine on various organisms, e.g., Caenorhabditis elegans ( García-Espiñeira et al, 2018 ; Zhou et al, 2021 ), Chironomus tentans ( Tyler Mehler et al, 2008 ), Daphnia carinata ( He et al, 2012 ), Elodea canadensis ( Brain et al, 2012 ), Lepomis macrochirus ( Tyler Mehler et al, 2008 ), Litoditis marina ( Francolino et al, 2021 ), Pimephales promelas ( Dionne et al, 2021 ), Prochilodus lineatus ( de Andrade et al, 2019 ), and so on. Considering the long-term use of atrazine and its toxic effects, it is of great concern to explore a high-efficiency and safe strategy to restore the atrazine-contaminated environments.…”

An atrazine-utilizing bacterium, designated as ZY, was isolated from agricultural soil and identified as Paenarthrobacter ureafaciens. The P. ureafaciens ZY demonstrated a significant degradation capacity of atrazine, with the degradation efficiency of 12.5 mg L−1 h−1 in liquid media (at pH 7, 30°C, and the atrazine level of 100 mg L−1). The P. ureafaciens ZY contained three atrazine-degrading genes (i.e., trzN, atzB, and atzC) could metabolize atrazine to form cyanuric acid, which showed lower biotoxicity than the parent atrazine as predicted by Ecological Structure Activity Relationships model. A laboratory-scale pot experiment was performed to examine the degradation of atrazine by P. ureafaciens ZY inoculation and investigate its effects on the native microbial communities. The results exhibited that the P. ureafaciens ZY was conductive to the degradation of atrazine, increased the total soil phospholipid fatty acids at the atrazine level of 50, 70, and 100 mg kg−1. By using high-throughput sequencing analysis, Frateuria, Dyella, Burkholderia-Caballeronia-Paraburkholderia were considered as the most important indigenous atrazine-degrading microorganisms due to their relative abundances were positively correlated with the atrazine degradation rate. In addition, P. ureafaciens ZY also increased the abundance of atrazine-degrading genus Streptomyces and Bacillus, indicating that there may be a synergic relationship between them in the process of atrazine degradation. Our work provides a new insight between inoculums and native microorganisms on the degradation of atrazine.
