Journal ArticleDOI
The role of microplastics in microalgae cells aggregation: A study at the molecular scale using atomic force microscopy.
Irem Demir-Yilmaz,Nadiia Yakovenko,Clément Roux,Pascale Guiraud,Fabrice Collin,Christophe Coudret,Alexandra Ter Halle,Cécile Formosa-Dague +7 more
TL;DR: An interdisciplinary approach was developed to investigate the role of plastic microparticles in the aggregation of a freshwater microalgae species, Chlorella vulgaris, and showed that the presence of plastic particles in micro algae cultures induced the production of exopolysaccharides by the cells, responsible for their aggregation.

Exploring the toxicity of the aged styrene-butadiene rubber microplastics to petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria under compound pollution system.
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of styrene-butadiene-rubber microplastics (mSBR) with different degrees of aging on petroleum hydrocarbon degrading bacteria in an environment with simultaneously existing pollutants was investigated.
Book ChapterDOI
Microplastics in Aquaculture Systems and Their Transfer in the Food Chain
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the sources and distribution characteristics of MPs in aquaculture systems and explores the relationship between MPs and aquatic organisms, and analyzes the migration and potential biomagnification of MPs among trophic levels in the food chain.

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.
