Summary
This study explored the role of biofilm formation on microplastic surfaces in aquatic environments, finding that microbial colonization altered particle buoyancy and promoted vertical transport toward the sediment. The plastisphere community composition differed markedly from surrounding water, potentially influencing contaminant cycling.
