      description => protected'Human activity is a major driver of ecological and evolutionary change in wi
         ld populations and can have diverse effects on eukaryotic organisms as well 
         as on environmental and host-associated microbial communities. Although host
         –microbiome interactions can be a major determinant of host fitness, few s
         tudies consider the joint responses of hosts and their microbiomes to anthro
         pogenic changes. In freshwater ecosystems, wastewater is a widespread anthro
         pogenic stressor that represents a multifarious environmental perturbation. 
         Here, we experimentally tested the impact of treated wastewater on a keyston
         e host (the freshwater isopod Asellus aquaticus) and its gut microbiome. We 
         used a semi-natural flume experiment, in combination with 16S rRNA amplicon 
         sequencing, to assess how different concentrations (0%, 30%, and 80%) of non
         filtered wastewater (i.e. with chemical toxicants, nutrients, organic partic
         les, and microbes) versus ultrafiltered wastewater (i.e. only dissolved poll
         utants and nutrients) affected host survival, growth, and food consumption a
         s well as mid- and hindgut bacterial community composition and diversity. Ou
         r results show that while host survival was not affected by the treatments, 
         host growth increased and host feeding rate decreased with nonfiltered waste
         water – potentially indicating that A. aquaticus fed on organic matter and
          microbes available in nonfiltered wastewater. Furthermore, even though the 
         midgut microbiome (diversity and composition) was not affected by any of our
          treatments, nonfiltered wastewater influenced bacterial composition (but no
         t diversity) in the hindgut. Ultrafiltered wastewater, on the other hand, af
         fected both community composition and bacterial diversity in the hindgut, an
          effect that in our system differed between sexes. While the functional cons
         equences of microbiome changes and their sex specificity are yet to be teste

      description => protected'Effluents of wastewater treatment plants can impact microbial communities in
          the receiving streams. However, little is known about the role of microorga
         nisms in wastewater as opposed to other wastewater constituents, such as nut
         rients and micropollutants. We aimed therefore at determining the impact of 
         wastewater microorganisms on the microbial diversity and function of periphy
         ton, key microbial communities in streams. We used a flow-through channel sy
         stem to grow periphyton upon exposure to a mixture of stream water and unfil
         tered or ultra-filtered wastewater. Impacts were assessed on periphyton biom
         ass, activities and tolerance to micropollutants, as well as on microbial di
         versity. Our results showed that wastewater microorganisms colonized periphy
         ton and modified its community composition, resulting for instance in an inc
         reased abundance of Chloroflexi and a decreased abundance of diatoms and gre
         en algae. This led to shifts towards heterotrophy, as suggested by the chang
         es in nutrient stoichiometry and the increased mineralization potential of c
         arbon substrates. An increased tolerance towards micropollutants was only fo
         und for periphyton exposed to unfiltered wastewater but not to ultra-filtere
         d wastewater, suggesting that wastewater microorganisms were responsible for
          this increased tolerance. Overall, our results highlight the need to consid

      description => protected'Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) play an important role in retaining orga
         nic matter and nutrients but to a lesser extent micropollutants. Therefore, 
         treated wastewater is recognized as a major source of multiple stressors, in
         cluding complex mixtures of micropollutants. These can potentially affect mi
         crobial communities in the receiving water bodies and the ecological functio
         ns they provide. In this study, we evaluated in flow-through channels the co
         nsequences of an exposure to a mixture of stream water and different percent
         ages of urban WWTP effluent, ranging from 0% to 80%, on the microbial divers
         ity and function of periphyton communities. Assuming that micropollutants ex
         ert a selective pressure for tolerant microorganisms within communities, we 
         further examined the periphyton sensitivity to a micropollutant mixture extr
         acted from passive samplers that were immersed in the wastewater effluent. A
         s well, micropollutants in water and in periphyton were comprehensively quan
         tified. Our results show that micropollutants detected in periphyton differe
         d from those found in water, both in term of concentration and composition. 
         Especially photosystem II inhibitors accumulated in periphyton more than oth
         er pesticides. Although effects of other substances cannot be excluded, this
          accumulation may have contributed to the observed higher tolerance of photo
         trophic communities to micropollutants upon exposure to 30% and 80% of waste
         water. On the contrary, no difference in tolerance was observed for heterotr
         ophic communities. Exposure to the gradient of wastewater led to structural 
         differences in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities. For instance, th
         e relative abundance of cyanobacteria was higher with increasing percentage 
         of wastewater effluent, whereas the opposite was observed for diatoms. Such 
         results could indicate that differences in community structure do not necess
         arily lead to higher tolerance. This highlights the need to consider other w
