The increasing prevalence of microplastics in the environment has raised concerns about their potential environmental and health implications. Biofilms readily colonize upon entry into environment, altering surface characteristics. While most studies have explored how biofilms influence adsorption transportation other contaminants by microplastics, reciprocal interplay between resulting ecological risks remain understudied. This review comprehensively reviews impact microplastic properties on biofilm formation composition, including microbial community structure. We then explore dynamic interactions biofilms, examining alter physicochemical properties, migration, deposition microplastics. Furthermore, we emphasize biofilm-colonized to fate pollutants. Lastly, discuss biofilm–microplastic may modify bioavailability, biotoxicity, implications

Microbial interactions form microfood webs, crucial for ecological functions. The steady state of these shaped by cooperation and competition among trophic levels, prevents pathogen proliferation invasion, maintaining soil health. Combined pollutants pose a widespread environmental issue, exerting significant pressure on webs. However, understanding how webs respond to combined in plastispheres, an emerging niche, remains limited. This study explores bacteria, fungi, protists, examining their effects potential pathogens three types amended with Cu or disinfectant, along using microcosm experiment. Pollutant exposure disrupts trophic-level through bottom-up top-down regulation soils respectively. Microfood web network topology parameters prove more sensitive pollutant stress than indicators from single community composition. causes greater disruption the (Cu didecyl dimethylammonium chloride (DDAC)). Plastisphere reinforces negative impacts network, escalating pathogenic bacteria. Overall, this deepens our responses under plastispheres provides valuable insights health risk assessments pollutants.
