Microplastic aging and plastisphere succession in mangrove sediments: Mechanisms, microbial interactions, and degradation potential
The unique alternating aerobic-anaerobic conditions in mangrove sediments create hotspots for microplastic (MP) aging. We systematically investigated the aging characteristics of conventional MPs (CMPs: mPP and mPE) and biodegradable MPs (BMPs: mPLA and mPBAT) and spatiotemporal successions of plastisphere communities (in three mangrove regions over 1, 3, and 6 months). The results showed that MP aging increased with plastisphere succession, and aging severity followed the order: mPLA > mPBAT > mPP > mPE. Crucially, BMPs exhibited higher risks of heavy metal leaching and secondary MP release. Geographic location was the primary driver of microbial community structure, followed by MP type and time. Network analysis revealed that alternating aerobic-anaerobic conditions promoted positive microbial correlations. CMP communities were more sensitive to organic carbon than BMPs. BMPs were more prone to be utilized as carbon sources by microbes, thereby accelerating their aging. Plastisphere microbiomes enriched potential MP-degrading taxa (e.g., Alcanivorax, Ketobacter, Halomonas, Desulfovibrio, Desulfobulbus) and displayed higher hydrocarbon degradation potential than sediments. Potential MP-degrading taxa resembled hydrocarbon degraders. Anaerobic MP-degraders correlated more strongly with aging indicators than aerobic MP-degraders, particularly on BMPs. Partial least squares path model (PLS-PM) showed that biotic factors were positively correlated with MP aging. MP aging was jointly controlled by biotic and abiotic factors.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hazardous Materials serves as a global platform for promoting cutting-edge research in the field of Environmental Science and Engineering. Our publication features a wide range of articles, including full-length research papers, review articles, and perspectives, with the aim of enhancing our understanding of the dangers and risks associated with various materials concerning public health and the environment. It is important to note that the term "environmental contaminants" refers specifically to substances that pose hazardous effects through contamination, while excluding those that do not have such impacts on the environment or human health. Moreover, we emphasize the distinction between wastes and hazardous materials in order to provide further clarity on the scope of the journal. We have a keen interest in exploring specific compounds and microbial agents that have adverse effects on the environment.
