Summary

This editorial introduces a Frontiers in Microbiology collection on the interactions between microplastics and microorganisms in environmental systems, covering how plastic particles affect microbial communities and how microbes in turn colonize and potentially degrade plastic surfaces. The collection reflects the growing recognition that microplastic pollution reshapes environmental microbiology.
