😎 Just selected Editor's choice in @femsjournals.bsky.social Microbiol Ecol! Aileen Jung and our wonderful @crc1357.bsky.social team reveal how different #microplastics trigger surprisingly distinct microbial responses in the #rhizosphere! 🌽🍓🦠 Thanks @dfg.de & @bayceer.bsky.social for support!

Conventional and biodegradable microplastics elicit contrasting taxon-level responses in rhizosphere microbiomes of maize and strawberry
Microplastic effects on rhizosphere microbiomes depend on both plant species and polymer type, with biodegradable plastics selectively stimulating potentia

Happy #WorldHorseshoeCrabDay!
 These spinning #horseshoecrab (Limulus polyphemus) embryos are developing inside their eggs, just weeks away from hatching. Despite their name, horseshoe crabs are closer relatives of spiders and scorpions than crustaceans.
