The influence of microplastics on the toxic effects and biodegradation of bisphenol A in the microalgae Chlorella pyrenoidosa
TL;DR: In this article , the impact of polystyrene microplastics on the toxic effects and biodegradation of BPA to the microalgae Chlorella pyrenoidosa was explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Freshwater alga Raphidocelis subcapitata undergoes metabolomic changes in response to electrostatic adhesion by micrometer-sized nylon 6 particles
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of nylon polymers on freshwater microalgae were investigated, and the results showed that Ny6-P inhibited Raphidocelis subcapitata growth more than the other MPs.

From marine to freshwater environment: A review of the ecotoxicological effects of microplastics.
Xiaowei Li,Yiqing Chen,Shujing Zhang,Yuling Dong,Qiuxiang Pang,I. Lynch,Changjian Xie,Zhiling Guo,Peng Zhang +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the toxicology of microplastics in order to uncover the relationship between aquatic organism responses to MPs and ecological disorders, including behavioral alternations, metabolism disorders, immune response, and poses a threat to the composition and stability of the ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Identification of Spherical Engineered Microplastics and Microalgae by Micro-hyperspectral Imaging.
TL;DR: Based on the micro-hyperspectral imaging technique, spherical engineered microplastic and microalgae (Isochrysis galbana) (4-7μm) were identified as discussed by the authors.

Microplastic stress induce bioresource production and response in microalgae: a concise review
Adamu Yunusa Ugya,Kamel Meguellati,Abdulkadir Dauda Aliyu,Abidina Abba,Makiyyu Abdullahi Musa +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show that the presence of MP in the environment can induce nutrients and environmental stress, which enhances lipid accumulation and the production of other useful biotechnology resources.

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.

Nanomaterials in the environment: Behavior, fate, bioavailability, and effects
Stephen J. Klaine,Pedro J. J. Alvarez,Graeme E. Batley,Teresa F. Fernandes,Richard D. Handy,Delina Y. Lyon,Shaily Mahendra,Mike J. McLaughlin,Jamie R. Lead +8 more
TL;DR: This review critiques existing nanomaterial research in freshwater, marine, and soil environments and illustrates the paucity of existing research and demonstrates the need for additional research.
