Summary

Researchers review how microorganisms in freshwater ecosystems interact with microplastic debris, exploring how plastic surfaces reshape microbial communities and biogeochemical cycles, and warning that these interactions have broad implications for aquatic ecosystem health and the spread of potentially harmful microbes.

Study Type Environmental

Microorganisms play a pivotal role in the biogeochemical cycles of aquatic environment, mediating interactions between biotic and abiotic components and forming complex associations with plastic debris. Their widespread distribution is a global concern due to their...
