Physiological, morphological, and growth effects of microplastics on freshwater alga Chlorella vulgaris
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers showed that microplastics inhibit growth, reduce chlorophyll and photosynthetic efficiency, and trigger oxidative stress in the freshwater alga Chlorella vulgaris in a concentration-dependent manner, suggesting the species could serve as a bioindicator for aquatic microplastic contamination.
Algae-microplastics interactions and their significance in combating aquatic plastic pollution
