Multigenerational exposure of microplastics on the microbiota of E. affinis (copepod): a comparative study between biodegradable and nonbiodegradable microplastics
The accumulation of plastic debris around the world, especially in marine environments, has been well documented during the past decades. Recent studies have found that inorganic surfaces of microplastics (MPs) can be used by microorganisms as living substrates and form an ecosystem named “plastisph...
