Abstract Background Studies into biofilms and interactions with anthropogenic substrates like microplastic polymers are predominantly represented in the literature concerning marine environments. Less is known about microplastics riverine environments that feed accumulation of environments, transporting potentially harmful or pathogenic organisms have accumulated on microplastics. Environmental nutrient loads, seasonality, geography all to influence microbiome formation. This project compared microbial diversity developed natural stone an impaired unimpaired section Quinnipiac River Watershed. We evaluated composition via 16S rRNA gene sequencing while monitoring total colony fecal coliform counts using standard water methods. Results Total were higher than Honeypot Brook (W = 583, p 0.037) substrate 1038, 0.022). Sequenced features class level dominated by Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, comprising 75% community biome.

Further analysis common aquatic enteropathogens showed genera Citrobacter significantly more abundant at both locations. Conclusions Our results indicate waterbodies a burden may retain greater bacterial loads waterbodies. Increased compromised lotic systems additive impact. Water quality remediation careful recommended reduce this effect. Comparing study environmental could provide valuable insight preferential surface attachment bacteria onto microplastic.

Microplastic (≤5 mm) is one of the potential pollutants in marine environment. It leads to various health issues biota. The microplastic pollution increasing exponentially all zones biosphere. reported seawater and sea sediments. enter food chain, consumption seafood becoming risky day by day. has not only spread throughout aquatic environment, but also ice. In present chapter, an attempt was made overview methods currently used for collecting, detecting, identifying, estimating microplastics from environment under following lines: (1) discuss techniques collect, detect, identify, estimate microplastic, (2) enlist detect (3) highlight identify different types (4) some important reports
