It can affect the properties of the plastic debris in multiple ways. This review aims to present the effects of the plastisphere on the physicochemical properties of microplastics systematically. It highlights that the plastisphere modifies the buoyancy and movement of microplastics by increasing their density, causing them to sink and settle out. Smaller and film microplastics are likely to settle sooner because of larger surface areas and higher rates of biofouling. Biofouled microplastics may show an oscillating movement in waterbodies when settling due to diurnal and seasonal changes in the growth of the plastisphere until they come close to the bottom of the waterbodies and are entrapped by sediments. The plastisphere enhances the adsorption of microplastics for metals and organic pollutants and shifts the adsorption mechanism from intraparticle diffusion to film diffusion. The plastisphere also increases surface roughness, reduces the pore size, and alters the overall charge of microplastics. Charge alteration is primarily attributed to changes in the functional groups on microplastic surfaces. The plastisphere introduces carbonyl, amine, amide, hydroxyl, and phosphoryl groups to microplastics, causing an increase in their surface hydrophilicity, which could alter their adsorption behaviors for heavy metals. The plastisphere may act as a reactive barrier that enhances the leaching of polar additives. It may anchor bacteria that can break down plastic additives, resulting in decreased crystallinity of microplastics. This review contributes to a better understanding of how the plastisphere alters the fate, transport, and environmental impacts of microplastics. It points to the possibility of engineering the plastisphere to improve microplastic biodegradation.</p>","PeriodicalId":9024,"journal":{"name":"Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141497016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally, MELs have been produced by growing certain basidiomycetous yeasts on vegetable oils. However, oils are a comparatively expensive substrate, which negatively affects the economic performance of MEL production. In addition to this, vegetable oils significantly complicate the downstream processing required to produce a product with the required purity for most applications.
