This is a supplementary dataset for a study on complex interactions among temperature, microplastics, and cyanobacteria in aquatic systems — not a standalone research article.

Complex interactions among temperature, microplastics and cyanobacteria may facilitate cyanobacteria proliferation and microplastic deposition
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated how microplastics interact with temperature and nutrient conditions to affect cyanobacterial growth, finding that microplastics can alter cyanobacterial physiology and potentially exacerbate bloom formation under warming conditions.
Coexistence of cyanobacteria and microplastics in eutrophic lake ecosystems: Interactions and combined effects
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastics and harmful algae (cyanobacteria) often build up together in polluted lakes, and this review of existing research shows they actually affect each other, plastics stress out the algae, while algae can coat plastics and change how they break down or sink. This combo appears to make lake pollution worse for fish and other wildlife than either problem alone, which matters since these same lakes can be sources of drinking water and food, meaning the risks to human health may be greater than previously understood.
Global Reanalysis Reveals Recurrent Cyanobacterial Enrichment in the Aquatic Plastisphere
AI summary Read the abstract
Scientists analyzed data from over 3,000 water samples worldwide and found that plastic debris in oceans and rivers consistently attracts certain types of cyanobacteria (a group that includes some algae capable of producing toxins) more than the surrounding water does. This matters because as microplastics continue accumulating in our waterways, they may be creating floating hotspots where these organisms cluster and interact with other microbes, raising questions about whether plastic pollution could help spread harmful bacteria or toxins through aquatic food systems that eventually reach humans.
Microbial Perspective: Regulatory Mechanisms of Interactions Between Microplastics and Dissolved Organic Matter on Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Aquatic Ecosystems
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset supports research on how microplastics and dissolved organic matter interact to regulate greenhouse gas emissions in aquatic ecosystems from a microbial perspective. Understanding these interactions is critical because microplastic pollution can alter microbial community composition and metabolic activity, affecting carbon and nitrogen cycling in lakes, rivers, and coastal waters.
Altered Biological Responses of Primary Producers to Multiple Stressors in the Presence of Nanoplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
This thesis investigated how nanoplastics interact with other environmental stressors — including elevated CO2, temperature, and light — to affect freshwater algae and cyanobacteria. The results show that nanoplastics can alter how aquatic plants respond to climate change, potentially disrupting the base of freshwater food webs.
