Role of Algae in Biodegradation of Plastics
TL;DR: Algae-based biodegradation is a promising method for the environmentally benign break down of plastic waste as mentioned in this paper , which is triggered by the interaction of algae enzymes with plastic polymers, which results in the weakening of chemical bonds.

Toxic effects of ship exhaust gas closed-loop scrubber wash water.
TL;DR: In this article , the effects of closed-loop scrubber (natrium-alkali method) wash water on three trophic species were investigated, including Dunaliella salina, Mysidopsis bahia, and Mugilogobius chulae.

Microbial Degradation of Micro‐Plastics
TL;DR: In this article , the degradation of these microplastics has been helped by the presence of naturally occurring microbes such as diatoms, dinoflagellates, cyanobacteria, barnacles, bryozoans, isopods, heterotrophic bacteria, and fungi.

Studies of marine planktonic diatoms: i. cyclotella nana hustedt, and detonula confervacea (cleve) gran.
TL;DR: Bacteria-free clones of the small centric diatom Cyclotella nana Hustedt were isolated, three from estuarine localities, one from Continental Shelf waters, and one from the Sargasso Sea as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation and fragmentation of plastic debris in global environments.
TL;DR: Global plastics production and the accumulation of plastic waste are documented, showing that trends in mega- and macro-plastic accumulation rates are no longer uniformly increasing and that the average size of plastic particles in the environment seems to be decreasing.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pollution of the marine environment by plastic debris: a review.
TL;DR: The deleterious effects of plastic debris on the marine environment were reviewed by bringing together most of the literature published so far on the topic, and a variety of approaches are urgently required to mitigate the problem.

Accumulation of Microplastic on Shorelines Woldwide: Sources and Sinks
Mark Anthony Browne,Mark Anthony Browne,Mark Anthony Browne,Phillip Crump,S. J. Niven,Emma L. Teuten,Andrew Tonkin,Tamara S. Galloway,Richard C. Thompson +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that microplastic contaminates the shorelines at 18 sites worldwide representing six continents from the poles to the equator, with more material in densely populated areas, but no clear relationship between the abundance of miocroplastics and the mean size-distribution of natural particulates.
