The influence of microplastics on the toxic effects and biodegradation of bisphenol A in the microalgae Chlorella pyrenoidosa
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers discovered that polystyrene microplastics worsen the toxic effects of the common chemical bisphenol A (BPA) on green algae, suggesting that microplastics in aquatic environments can amplify the harm caused by other pollutants and may have cascading effects on aquatic food chains.
Effects of polyvinyl chloride microplastics on the growth characteristics of Chlorella vulgaris HL01
AI summary Read the abstract
Laboratory experiments showed that polyvinyl chloride microplastics inhibited growth of the green alga Chlorella vulgaris at moderate concentrations but paradoxically promoted growth at very high concentrations (300–400 mg/L), with antioxidant enzyme activities and cell morphology confirming a biphasic dose-response. Understanding how PVC microplastics affect primary producers like microalgae is critical because phytoplankton underpin aquatic food webs and oxygen production, so even modest disruptions can cascade through ecosystems.
