Concerns are growing about the increasing amounts of microplastics (MPs) and their
ecological impacts, especially the influences of “plastisphere” in the freshwater ecosystems …

As an artificial type of microbial carrier, plastic debris has been widely detected in freshwater
habitats, and the potential impacts of the plastisphere (biofilms colonized on plastics) in …

In this study, the protein and oleosomes of sesame seeds were extracted individually and
used to prepare a gel composed of gelatin, protein, and oleosomes. Mixtures of gelatin and …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are increasingly being discharged into freshwater systems,
where they might encounter biofilm, and potentially affect the biofilm formation and structure …

The widespread use of microplastics (MPs) inevitably lead to their release into aquatic
environment, where they are likely to encounter the periphytic biofilms, leading to changes …

The widespread use of nanosilver will inevitably lead to their release into aquatic
environment, threating the health of freshwater ecosystem. The toxic effects of silver …

Triclocarban (TCC), an emerging contaminant in water environments, its effects on
freshwater biofilms remain insufficiently understood. This study investigates the effects of …

In this study, Vallisneria natans plants were exposed to 5 and 20 nm of titanium dioxide
nanoparticles (TiO₂ NPs) anatase and 600–1000 nm of bulk at 5 and 20 mg/L for 30 days …

Impacts of widespread release of engineered titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nTiO 2) on
freshwater phytoplankton and phytobenthic assemblages in the field, represents a …

Microorganisms in sediments are an important part of the aquatic ecosystem, and their
functional activities are sensitive to external environmental pressure. Shallow lakes are …
