Responses of bloom-forming Microcystis aeruginosa to polystyrene microplastics exposure: Growth and photosynthesis

Microplastics were often detected in water environment, however, their effects on algal blooms were unclear. In this study, the growth and photosynthesis capacity of bloom-forming algae Microcystis aeruginosa growing with 10–100 ​mg/L polystyrene microplastics (MPs) (5 ​μm) under low (105 ​cells/mL)...
