Assessment of the Influence of Size and Concentration on the Ecotoxicity of Microplastics to Microalgae <i>Scenedesmus</i> sp., Bacterium <i>Pseudomonas putida</i> and Yeast <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>

Assessment of the Influence of Size and Concentration on the Ecotoxicity of Microplastics to Microalgae <i>Scenedesmus</i> sp., Bacterium <i>Pseudomonas putida</i> and Yeast <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>

The harmful effects of microplastics are not yet fully revealed. This study tested harmful effects of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastics were tested. Growth inhibition tests were conducted using three...
