• Interactions of Microplastics with Freshwater Biota (2018, background): “For instance, 1 μm PVC fragments inhibited the growth and negatively affected photosynthesis (50 mg L (1)) of the marine algae Skeletonema costatum [43], while 1 mm PVC fragments did not induce such alterations.”
• Ecotoxicological effects of microplastics on biota: a review (2018, methodology): “Similarly, plastic pellets (1200–3000) with 2–5 mm particle size were identified from the beaches of Chennai and Goa (Veerasingham et al. 2016a, b); Southern Ocean (Isobe et al. 2017); Northern South China Sea (Sun et al. 2017); and Bohai Sea (Zhang et al. 2017a).”
• Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Aquatic Environments: Challenges and Threats to Aquatic Organisms (2020, background): “Table 3 Effects of microplastics on aquatic organisms Area of interest Compounds Level of evidence Sample Results References Biotechnology Nanotechnology Marine biology Presence of mPVC on the surface of the microalgae Skeletonema costatum Level 6 Microalgae Skeletonema costatum Consequent inhibitio”
• Microplastics accumulate on pores in seed capsule and delay germination and root growth of the terrestrial vascular plant Lepidium sativum. (2019, background): “For example, exposure of Skeletonema costatum, a marine microalgae, to microplastics resulted in negative effects on growth and photosynthesis (Zhang et al., 2017).”
• Direct and indirect effects of microplastics on bivalves, with a focus on edible species: A mini-review (2019, background): “The toxic effects of microplastics on microalgae might be due to a shading effect, a release of additives and adsorption and aggregation between microplastics and microalgae (Bhattacharya, Lin, Turner, & Ke, 2010; Nolte et al., 2017; Schwab et al., 2011; Zhang et al., 2014; 2017).”
