Supplementary material from " Microplastic pellets do not affect heat stress induced night-time respiration in the brown alga Fucus serratus "
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers tested whether conventional and biosourced microplastic pellets combined with heat stress affect night-time respiration in the brown alga Fucus serratus. The study found that while heat stress significantly increased respiration rates, the presence of microplastic pellets did not add to this effect, suggesting that short-term microplastic exposure may not compound thermal stress impacts on this intertidal seaweed species.

Impact of microplastic white tide on the light and dark metabolism of the macroalgae Fucus serratus: petroleum-based vs biosourced polymers
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers exposed the macroalga Fucus serratus to simulated microplastic pellet pollution events using both petroleum-based and biosourced polymers. They found that both types of plastic pellets disrupted the algae's light and dark metabolic processes. The study suggests that bioplastics may pose similar environmental risks to conventional plastics when they accumulate on intertidal organisms.
Toxic effects of microplastics on extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in estuarine microalgae under stress conditions
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined how extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) mediate the response of two estuarine microalgae species — Scenedesmus obliquus and Skeletonema costatum — to polypropylene and polyethylene microplastics. They found species-specific differences, with EPS removal reducing stress tolerance in both species, and S. costatum showing greater photosynthetic regulation capacity under high microplastic concentrations.
