Elucidation of Mechanisms by Which Microplastics (PET) Facilitates the Rapid Growth of Benthic Cyanobacteria and Toxin Production in Aquatic Ecosystems

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most frequently used synthetic polymers and it plays a major role in plastic pollution in aquatic environments. As PET undergoes environmental degradation, it sheds microplastics and chemical leachates, which have an effect on microbial communities, inc...
