TLDR
Compared with non-contact shading effect, interactions between microplastic and microalage such as adsorption and aggregation were more reasonable explanations for toxic effects of microplastics on marine microalgae.About:

C. Amaneesh,Shankari Anna Balan,P. S. Silpa,Ji Won Kim,K. P. Greeshma,A. Aswathi Mohan,Aiswarya Robert Antony,Hans-Peter Grossart,Hee-Sik Kim,Rishiram Ramanan +9 more
TL;DR: In this article , the threats posed by microplastics (MP) and associated chemicals on phytoplankton, their comprehensive impacts at organismal, community, and ecosystem scales, and their endogenous amelioration.

Insight into the Interaction Between Microplastics and Microorganisms Based on a Bibliometric and Visualized Analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the research progress of interaction between microplastics and microorganisms based on a bibliometric and visualized analysis and investigated the statistical analysis by statistical analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of microplastics in microalgae cells aggregation: A study at the molecular scale using atomic force microscopy
TL;DR: In this paper , the role of plastic microparticles in the aggregation of a freshwater microalgae species, Chlorella vulgaris, was investigated using single-cell force spectroscopy experiments.

Life Cycle Assessment of Microplastics Reveals Their Greater Environmental Hazards than Mismanaged Polymer Waste Losses.
Xiang Zhao,Fengqi You +1 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors reveal and compare the environmental hazards of aquatic macro- and microplastic debris through a holistic life cycle assessment approach, and demonstrate that the micro-plastic formulation and removal in drinking water treatment plants can pose more than 7.44% of the total ecotoxicity effect from plastic wastes' (microplastics') whole life cycle.

Oussama Bouaicha,Tanja Mimmo,Raphael Tiziani,Nadine Praeg,Carlo Polidori,Luigi Lucini,Gianpiero Vigani,Roberto Terzano,Juan C. Sanchez-Hernandez,Paul Illmer,Stefano Cesco,Luigimaria Borruso +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors discuss the primary sources, fate, and impact of microplastics on the rhizosphere ecology, focusing in particular on how soil physical-chemical properties, plant physiology, and soil biodiversity are modulated by the interaction of MP in the plant-soil system.

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.
