Article Synopsis
- - The research mainly looks into how microplastics (specifically polystyrene microplastics) affect biofilms, particularly at different growth stages, rather than just mature biofilm communities.
- - Findings indicate that the impact of microplastics on biofilms is notably lower as the biofilms develop, suggesting that younger biofilms are more vulnerable to environmental stressors.
- - The study reveals that while younger biofilms showed greater sensitivity to microplastics in terms of certain biochemical processes, the overall toxicity of polystyrene microplastics appears to be low for biofilm health.
