Microbial colonization and degradation of marine microplastics in the plastisphere: A review
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Marine microplastic pollution is a growing problem for ecotoxicology that needs to be resolved. In particular, microplastics may be carriers of “dangerous hitchhikers,” pathogenic microorganisms, i.e., Vibrio.

Microplastic effects on plants [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2019 SummaryMicroplastic effects in terrestrial ecosystems have recently moved into focus, after about a decade of research being limited to aquatic systems. While effects on soil physical properties and soil biota are starting to become apparent, there is not much information on the consequences for plant performance.
