Increased methane production associated with community shifts towards Methanocella in paddy soils with the presence of nanoplastics
The specific enrichment of Syntrophomonas and Methanocella indicates that LDPE NPs stimulate the syntrophic oxidation of LCFAs and SCFAs, with Methanocella acting as the hydrogenotrophic methanogen partner. Our findings enhance the understanding of how LDPE NPs affect the methanogenic community in waterlogged paddy soils. Given the importance of this ecosystem, our results are crucial for elucidating the mechanisms that govern carbon fluxes, which are highly relevant to global climate change.
