The distribution, colonization, and biodegradation of primary and secondary microplastics,
as well as were effect on the plastisphere ecological systems, are analyzed. The pathways …

Microplastics (MPs) in natural waters are heterogeneously mixed with other natural particles
including algal cells and suspended sediments. An easy-to-use and rapid method for …

Periphyton is a freshwater biofilm composed of prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities that
occupy rocks and sediments, forming the base of the food web and playing a key role in …

Stream biofilms have been shown to be among the most sensitive indicators of
environmental stress in aquatic ecosystems and several endpoints have been developed to …

Groundwater–surface water (GW–SW) interactions represent an important, but less visible,
linkage in lake ecosystems. Periphyton is most abundant at the GW–SW interface and can …

Microorganisms form the vital links in the structure and functional attributes of aquatic
ecosystems as they have significant roles in the maintenance of ecosystem sustainability …

The overarching goal of this thesaural work was to develop novel and powerful microfluidic
platforms for the accurate detection and analysis of pathogens. More specifically, studies …

Flow cytometry (FCM) was first developed for medical and clinical applications such as
hematology and oncology. Although these areas still account for the vast majority of …
