Marine Bacterial Growth Rates in the Presence of Microplastics

, 2022
This study investigated the effects of microplastics (MPs) on the growth of marine bacteria in the open ocean to try to obtain a general picture on whether or not bacteria can be harmed by or benefit from the presence of MPs in their environment ...

Microplastics and soil microbiomes

BMC Biology
Microplastics, small particles that are released from plastics as they degrade, are ubiquitous and increasing in amount in most environments, including the soil. Here, we review the impacts of microplastics on the structure and activity of soil microbiomes and their key ecosystem functions.

Microplastics in environment; sources, effects and solutions

, 2021
Plastika je zbog svoje široke upotrebe prisutna u svim dijelovima okoliša, gdje štetno utječe na različite sastavnice okoliša, a toksični spojevi koje adsorbira prenose se kroz hranidbeni lanac te s vremenom dolaze do čovjeka.

Microplastics predominantly accumulate in CD11b− macrophages of the liver and spleen without overt neutrophil activation

Microplastics and Nanoplastics
To estimate the health effects of internal microplastics exposure, it is crucial to understand their dynamics and the effects on immune cells. To confirm that microplastics are transported from the intestinal lumen to the bloodstream, we fed mice 1 µm ...

Toxicity assessment of pollutants sorbed on microplastics using various bioassays on two fish cell lines

Microplastics are tiny plastic fragments resulted from runoff and weathering breakdown of larger plastics debris. They represent an emerging concern for marine ecosystems. Microplastics impacts on aquatic life are little studied.
