Microplastic Pollution Is Associated with Fragmentation and Environmental Sensitivity of Marine Planktonic Microbial Communities.
The effects of increasing marine microplastic (MP) pollution on the microbial community structure and function remain uncertain, particularly under natural conditions. Specifically, our study focuses on free-living marine microbial communities (0.8-5 μm) rather than plastisphere biofilms. Here, we systematically evalua...
