16S rRNA gene amplicon-based metagenomic analysis of bacterial communities in the rhizospheres of selected mangrove species from Mida Creek and Gazi Bay, Kenya
This metagenomic study characterized rhizosphere bacterial communities of four mangrove tree species in Kenya, finding species-specific differences in microbial diversity and community structure that reflect the distinct root chemistry and sediment conditions of each mangrove host.
Finding microbial composition and biological processes as predictive signature to access the ongoing status of mangrove preservation
Using DNA sequencing, researchers mapped the microbial communities in mangrove soils of a large Brazilian bay, comparing pristine and polluted areas near a petroleum refinery. Polluted mangroves showed increased populations of bacteria adapted to breaking down hydrocarbons, while beneficial organisms like diatoms declined. While focused on oil pollution, the findings are relevant to microplastics research because mangroves act as filters for coastal pollution, and degraded mangrove ecosystems are less effective at trapping microplastics before they reach the ocean.

Potential Microplastic-Degrading Bacteria from Mangrove Sediment in The Paluh Getah Area, Percut Sei Tuan District
Ten bacterial strains isolated from mangrove sediments in North Sumatra were screened for microplastic degradation, with three promising isolates showing growth on LDPE, HDPE, PET, PP, and PS substrates, identifying mangrove bacteria as a potential source of plastic-degrading microbes.
The identification of the new species Nitratireductor thuwali sp. nov. reveals the untapped diversity of hydrocarbon-degrading culturable bacteria from the arid mangrove sediments of the Red Sea
This paper is not relevant to microplastics; it characterizes a new species of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria isolated from Red Sea mangrove sediments.
Comparative metagenomic analysis from Sundarbans ecosystems advances our understanding of microbial communities and their functional roles
Researchers used metagenome analysis — reading all genetic material from environmental samples — to map the microbial communities in the world's largest mangrove forest, the Sundarbans, finding a rich diversity of bacteria including methane-processors, nitrogen-cyclers, and pollution-remediating species absent from nearby non-mangrove soils. The study provides the first comprehensive microbial inventory of this critical ecosystem and highlights its potential for bioremediation of environmental pollutants.
Impact of the surrounding environment on antibiotic resistance genes carried by microplastics in mangroves
Researchers buried five plastic types in mangrove ecosystems with different surrounding environments and used qPCR to quantify antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) on the plastic surfaces, finding higher ARG abundance in urban mangroves than in protected or aquaculture areas. Polypropylene and HDPE were preferred substrates for ARG-carrying bacteria, and proximity to human activities was the main driver of ARG distribution.
Occurrence and Distribution of Tetrabromobisphenol A and Diversity of Microbial Community Structure in the Sediments of Mangrove
Researchers measured tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) concentrations in mangrove sediments from three Southeast China estuaries and analyzed relationships with microbial community diversity using 16S rRNA sequencing. TBBPA levels ranged from 1.80 to 40.77 ng/g dry weight depending on site, total organic carbon was the primary driver of distribution, and the genus Anaerolinea was identified as responsible for in-situ TBBPA dissipation.
Isolation and Identification of Four Strains of Bacteria with Potential to Biodegrade Polyethylene and Polypropylene from Mangrove
Researchers screened mangrove sediment and surface water bacteria for the ability to biodegrade polyethylene and polypropylene microplastics, successfully isolating four candidate strains. The identified bacteria showed measurable plastic degradation activity, highlighting mangrove ecosystems as a source of novel plastic-degrading microorganisms.
Peer Review #2 of "Large-scale differences in diversity and functional adaptations of prokaryotic communities from conserved and anthropogenically impacted mangrove sediments in a tropical estuary (v0.2)"
This is a peer review comment on a study examining microbial communities in mangrove sediments affected by human activities. It is a peer review document, not a primary research paper, and is not directly focused on microplastics.

Researchers isolated and identified bacteria capable of degrading polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastics from mangrove sediments at Pasir Putih Wonorejo, Indonesia, where PET was the dominant polymer (59% of microplastics in the rainy season), evaluating indigenous bacterial strains as potential biodegradation agents for plastic pollution in mangrove ecosystems.
The Right Place at the Right Time: Seasonal Variation of Bacterial Communities in Arid Avicennia marina Soils in the Red Sea Is Specific to Its Position in the Intertidal
Researchers investigated seasonal and spatial variation in bacterial community composition in the soils of an arid Avicennia marina mangrove ecosystem in the Red Sea, finding that microbial communities shifted significantly between seasons and intertidal positions. Summer shrub-site communities differed most markedly from fringe and winter communities, with environmental factors driven by seasonal sea level fluctuations controlling alpha diversity patterns.
