Rapid bacterial colonization of low-density polyethylene microplastics in coastal sediment microcosms

BACKGROUND: Synthetic microplastics (≤5-mm fragments) are emerging environmental contaminants that have been found to accumulate within coastal marine sediments worldwide. The ecological impacts and fate of microplastic debris are only beginning to be revealed, with previous research into these topi...
