Abstract

Plastisphere research necessitates a multidisciplinary approach that integrates microbiology, environmental science, and chemistry to gain a comprehensive understanding. Despite existing reviews targeted at enhancing knowledge of plastispheres from diverse viewpoints, research gaps remain, preventing a complete presentation of methods to early-career researchers. This review thus presents an in-depth overview of current methods for studying plastispheres, including their applications, advantages, and challenges. We take a holistic approach to cover all aspects of plastisphere research, from sampling to analysis, discussing recent advances in key tools like microscopy, fluorescence analysis, spectroscopy, spectrophotometry, and omics-based technologies, which aid in understanding the complexity of plastispheres in terms of abundance, composition, taxonomic, and functional aspects. Furthermore, we explore promising yet underutilized techniques that could drive new research directions. In conclusion, we provide a guide for early-career researchers interested in pursuing plastisphere research, offering support and encouragement for further exploration in this field.

塑球研究诊断工具箱：综述

质球研究需要采用多学科方法，综合微生物学、环境科学和化学，以获得全面的理解。尽管现有的综述旨在从不同视角增进对质球的了解，但研究缺口依然存在，无法向早期研究人员完整地介绍研究方法。因此，本综述深入概述了当前研究质球的方法，包括其应用、优势和挑战。我们从整体出发，涵盖了质球研究从取样到分析的所有方面，讨论了显微镜、荧光分析、光谱学、分光光度法和基于omics的技术等关键工具的最新进展，这些工具有助于了解质球在丰度、组成、分类和功能方面的复杂性。此外，我们还探讨了一些有前景但尚未得到充分利用的技术，这些技术可以推动新的研究方向。最后，我们为有兴趣从事质球研究的早期研究人员提供了指南，为他们在这一领域的进一步探索提供支持和鼓励。
