ABSTRACT
The global rise in plastic production has led to significant plastic deposition in aquatic ecosystems, releasing chemical compounds as plastics degrade. Among these, bisphenol A (BPA) is a major global concern due to its endocrine-disrupting effects and widespread presence in aquatic environments. Furthermore, the toxicity of BPA on aquatic organisms can be modulated by global change stressors such as temperature, which plays an essential role in the metabolism of organisms, including the degradation and accumulation of toxic compounds. In this study, we aimed to understand how temperature can modulate the toxic effect of BPA on a phytoplankton species (Cryptomonas ovata) and how this effect can be transferred to its herbivorous consumer (Daphnia magna). To do this, we first determined the sensitivity of C. ovata over a BPA gradient (0-10 mg L-1). Subsequently, we experimentally determined how the increase in temperature (+5ºC) could modify the toxic effect of BPA on the physiology, metabolism and growth of the phytoplankton. Finally, we investigated how this effect transferred to the growth rate of D. magna through food. Our results show a negative effect of BPA on C. ovata from 5 mg BPA L-1, affecting its photosynthetic yield of photosystem II, net primary production, respiration, and growth. This effect was accelerated when the temperature was higher. Additionally, the growth rate of D. magna also decreased when fed on C. ovata grown in the presence of BPA and high temperature. Our results indicate that high temperature can accelerate the toxic effects of BPA on organisms located at the base of the food web and this effect could be transferred to higher levels through food.
