Summary
Researchers used proteomic analysis to study how different types of microplastics affect freshwater green algae at the molecular level. They found that the chemical composition of microplastics influences which cellular pathways are disrupted. The study provides new insights into the specific molecular mechanisms behind microplastic toxicity in aquatic organisms.
