major concern as these priority pollutants are readily ingested by a wide variety of aquatic …

Microplastics are considered environmental pollutants of serious concern. In freshwater
environments, they can affect aquatic biota and accumulate along the food web. Therefore …

Protozoa play a pivotal role in the microbial cycle, and ciliated protozoan grazing habits are
associated with dimethyl sulfide (DMS) cycle. Many studies have explored the impacts of …

This study evaluated the uptake of secondary nano-and small microparticles by the
protozoan Spirostomum ambiguum, comparing edible (baker's yeasts) and inedible (red …

Plastic pollution is an increasing environmental problem, but a comprehensive
understanding of its effect in the environment is still missing. The wide variety of size, shape …
