Abstract Despite some effectiveness of wastewater treatment processes, microplastics accumulate in sewage sludge and their further use may contribute to the release plastic into environment. There is an urgent need reduce amount sludge. Plastic particles serve as solid substrates for various microorganisms, promoting formation microbial biofilms with different metabolic activities. The biofilm environment associated will determine efficiency especially biological methods, mechanisms organic compound conversion. A significant source land application from plants. detrimental impact affects soil enzymatic activity, flora, fauna, plant production. This review article summarizes development research related discusses issue microplastic introduction Given that can contain complex composite polymers form a plastisphere, needed understand potential environmental impact, pathogenicity, characteristics systems. also physicochemical properties plants role formation. Then, explained these on possibility surface due peculiar structure microorganisms characterized what factors enable specific plastisphere It highlights basic information about assess toxicity more rationally, enabling better pollution control regulatory standards manage entering

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) receive wastewater from various sources. Despite aiming to remove contaminants, microplastics persist. Plastic surfaces are quickly colonized by microbial biofilm (“plastispheres”). Plastisphere communities suggested promote the spread and survival of potential human pathogens, suggesting that transfer plastispheres environment could pose a risk environmental health. The study aimed identify pathogens in plastispheres, specifically food-borne addition characterizing taxonomic diversity composition plastispheres. Plastispheres accumulated on polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), high-density polyethylene propylene (HDPE) exposed raw treated were analyzed via cultivation methods, quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT‒qPCR) 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. RT‒qPCR revealed presence foodborne pathogenic bacteria viruses, such as Listeria monocytogenes , Escherichia coli norovirus, adenovirus. Viable isolates emerging species Klebsiella pneumoniae Acinetobacter spp. identified wastewater, indicating might survive during treatment. These findings underscore harbor disseminate species, posing challenges water reuse initiatives. explored through sequencing, significantly influenced duration time plastic spent wastewater. In contrast, specific material did not influence bacterial composition, while was affected. Without efficient proper waste management, act source transferring plastic-associated into food chain possibly threat Continued research innovation essential improve removal associated microorganisms
