Algal-based Degradation of Microplastic: Prospects for Combating Microplastic Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the potential of microalgae to break down microplastics, exploring how these tiny aquatic organisms could offer a natural, low-cost solution to combat the growing problem of plastic pollution in freshwater and ocean environments.
Algae-microplastics interactions and their significance in combating aquatic plastic pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers review how algae interact with microplastics in aquatic environments, examining both the harmful effects on algae and the potential to harness algal biological properties for eco-friendly microplastic removal, toxicity mitigation, and repurposing of plastic particles.
Microalgae for microplastic removal from water and wastewater: a review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the potential for microalgae to remove microplastics from water and wastewater, finding that algae can physically aggregate with plastic particles through several mechanisms — offering a potentially low-cost, biological alternative to conventional filtration methods that struggle to capture very small plastic particles.
Achievements in the production of bioplastics from microalgae
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed progress in producing bioplastics from microalgae as a more sustainable alternative to petrochemical plastics, which break down into persistent microplastics. Microalgae grow rapidly and require less land than other biomass sources, making them a promising but still technically challenging option for reducing plastic pollution.
Microplastic Pollution: Harmful Effects and Possible Bioremediation Strategies
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines the harmful effects of microplastic pollution on terrestrial and marine ecosystems and surveys potential bioremediation strategies — including microbial, phytoremediation, and combined approaches — for mitigating contamination. Given that microplastics persist indefinitely in the environment and accumulate in food webs, identifying effective bioremediation pathways is essential for reducing the chronic dietary and environmental exposure burden on human and animal populations.
