An experimental approach to understanding plastic leachate impacts on marine microorganisms

Stefan D. M. Maday, Kim M. Handley, Grant L. Northcott, Joanne M. Kingsbury, Dawn A. Smith, Olga Pantos, Gavin Lear

This study assesses the impact of plastic leachates on marine microbial communities, finding significant compositional differences in communities exposed to PLA leachate but no changes in plastic degradation gene transcripts.
