Besides, these were significantly enriched by the increasing diversity of MPs (P < 0.05, Fig.5c). We then gathered the distribution and genomic data on these two bacteria from NCBI, revealing that strains from global isolates generally carry a high abundance of ARGs (Supplementary Fig.15)...

The TOC concentration reflects the amount of organic carbon consumed by microorganisms to breakdown MPs in the water (Yonkos et al., 2014). A higher TOC indicates that the water was significantly polluted by waste. The TOC variable also represents the presence of plastic-degrading bacteria (Shen...
Marine microscopic plastic (microplastic) debris is a modern societal issue, illustrating the challenge of balancing the convenience of plastic in daily life with the prospect of causing ecological harm by careless disposal. Here we develop the concept of microplastic as a complex, dynamic mixture of...
(Guo et al.2020). MPs can carry different bacteria, fungi, algae, and other microbes that may result in detrimental effects on the soil's physical environment (Naik et al.2019; Fu et al. (2020). Plastic mulching widely used in agroecosystems (crop fields) may cause soil degradation (Liu...

Total plastic production is expected to reach 33 billion tons by 2050, and microplastic emissions from effluents to the environment range from 0.46 million to 140 billion tons. Microplastic distribution and toxicological effects are actually poorly known. Here we review microplastic pollution with emphasi...
