Selective enrichment of bacterial pathogens by microplastic biofilm

Microplastics have been found to be ubiquitous in freshwater ecosystems, providing a novel substrate for biofilm formation. Here, we incubated biofilm on microplastics and two natural substrates (rock and leaf) under a controlled environment to investigate the differences of microbial community stru...
