This study investigates the impact of MNPLs on gut microbiota, utilizing Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism. Drosophila was selected for its microbiota's similarities to humans and its established role as an accessible and well-characterized model system. To analyze microbiota, full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed using the Nanopore sequencing platform, enabling comprehensive profiling of the microbial populations present in the samples. As models of MNPLs, two commercial polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPLs, 61.20 and 415.22 nm) and one lab-made polylactic acid nanoplastic (PLA-NPLs, 463.90 nm) were selected. As a positive control, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) were used. The observed findings revealed that exposure to MNPLs induced notable alterations in gut microbiota, including a reduction in bacterial abundance and shifts in species composition. These results suggest that MNPLs exposure can lead to microbial dysbiosis and potential gut health disruptions through its interaction, either with the gut epithelial barrier or directly with the resident microorganisms. 22025-01-0120252025-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/311844https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2025.179545reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengAgència de Gestió d'Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca https://doi.org/10.13039/501100003030 2020/BP-00177Agència de Gestió d'Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca https://doi.org/10.13039/501100003030 2022/BP-00026Agència de Gestió d'Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca https://doi.org/10.13039/501100003030 2023/BP-00212European Commission https://doi.org/10.13039/501100000780 965196Agencia Estatal de Investigación https://doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 PID2020-116789RB-C43Agència de Gestió d'Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca https://doi.org/10.13039/501100003030 2021/SGR-00731Agència de Gestió d'Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca https://doi.org/10.13039/501100003030 2021/SGR-00526open accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
