Adverse effects of microplastics observed on the growth rate and health of the freshwater alga, Chlorella sp. 12.
Summary
This Australian collaborative project investigated the effects of microplastics on freshwater ecological communities. While abstract details were limited, the study is part of a broader effort to understand how microplastics affect the ecology of the Murray-Darling Basin river system.
MMCP Collaboration (MMCP) is a project supported by the Joint State Governments and the Murray-Darling Basin Authority to generate and adopt freshwater ecological knowledge through collaboration, to maintain research capability and contribute supporting science to underpin the Basin-Wide Watering Strategy.Student support is an important component of MMCP. Postgraduate students carry out high-quality research at a reasonable cost and make an important contribution to the development of aquatic research capability. Student support for this thesis, was provided through the provision of a honours scholarships.This study aims to add to the growing body of literature surrounding the biological and toxicological effects of MPs by exploring the effects they have on the growth and health of the freshwater alga, Chlorella sp. 12.
