As two major types of pollutants emerging concerns, microplastics (MPs) and antibiotics (ATs) coexist in aquatic environments, their interactions are a source increasing concern. Therefore, this work examines the interaction mechanisms MPs ATs, effect on ATs bioavailability antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) abundance environments. First, for adsorption summarized, mainly including hydrophobic, hydrogen-bonding, electrostatic interactions. But other possible mechanisms, such as halogen bonding, CH/π interaction, cation−π negative charge-assisted hydrogen bonds, newly proposed to explain observed adsorption. Additionally, environmental factors (such pH, ionic strength, dissolved organic matters, minerals, aging conditions) affecting by specifically discussed. Moreover, could change bioaccumulation toxicity organisms, related joint reviewed analyzed. Furthermore, can enrich ARGs from surrounding environment, is evaluated. Finally, research challenges perspectives MPs–ATs implications presented. This review will facilitate better understanding fate risk both ATs.

Microplastics are a big and growing part of global pollution, which has aroused increasing concern in recent years because their large amount, wide distribution, adverse effects. can sorb various pollutants from aquatic environments act as vectors pollutants. Most studies mainly focused on the virgin microplastics. However, microplastics be easily colonized by microorganisms, form biofilm, will influence behaviors potential risks The formation biofilm its effects properties have been studied before, but sorption transport behaviors, for pollutants' transfer not reviewed. In this paper, role biofilm-developed was thoroughly analyzed summarized. First, microplastics, compositions microorganisms influencing factors, property changes after attachment Second, onto is discussed. Third, vector analyzed. We concluded that could provide unique substrates microorganisms. Biofilm-developed more than ones, then to introduce attached organisms.

Microplastics (MPs), tiny particles broken down from larger pieces of plastics, have accumulated everywhere on the earth. As an inert carbon stream in aquatic environment, they been reported as carriers for heavy metals and exhibit diverse interactive effects. However, these interactions are still poorly understood, especially mechanisms driving how pose risks living organisms. In this mini review, a bibliometric analysis field was conducted then were examined, emphasizing important roles microorganisms interactions. Their combined toxic effects potential hazards to human health also discussed. Finally, future research directions suggested. This review summarized recent progress highlighted essential microbes between MPs with hope promote more studies unveil action reduce/eliminate associated MP presence.

Particulate plastic fragments (micro and nano-plastics) in aquatic environments provide abundant solid substrates, which serve as an important habitat for a variety of microorganisms. Surfaces microplastics (MPs) exhibit hydrophobicity that facilitate the adsorption dissolved organic carbon (DOC) environment. Furthermore, MPs act substrata, well source including readily bioavailable DOC, promote formation microbial biofilms. These biofilms have varied metabolic actions govern subsequent succession micro- meso-organisms habitation MPs. The assemblage ecosystems colonising environment is often referred to “plastisphere”. Polymer type, environmental conditions, nutrient status, salinity, season, affect composition biofilm. Microbial accelerated by biofilm on particulate plastics enables movement microorganisms, especially environment, impacts transport toxicity contaminants associated with these fragments.
