This project studies the interactions between microplastics and microbial communities in marine environments. It aims to understand how these interactions affect organic matter production and biogeochemical cycles, which are crucial for marine ecosystems and food webs.
The long-term accumulation of plastic in our ocean has become a global challenge.
Microplastics, and particularly those < 300 µm, are ubiquitous and persistent and get entangled in microbial organic matrices that change particles’ buoyancy, aging, and determine their bioavailability in the water for being ingested.
Microplastics’ interaction with microorganisms may also change microbial communities distribution and activity, possibly perturbing biogeochemical cycles at the basis of marine ecosys…
