Muting YAN, Xiaofeng CHEN, Wei CHU, et al. Microplastic pollution and enrichment of distinct microbiota in sediment of mangrove in Zhujiang River estuary, China[J]. Journal of Oceanology and Limnology, 2023, 41(1): 215-228. DOI: 10.1007/s00343-021-1300-x.
The microbial communities colonized on microplastics (MPs) have attracted widespread attention. However
few studies focused on the MPs impacts on mangrove ecosystems
particularly on bacterial communities. We investigated the MPs pollution in mangrove of Zhujiang (Pearl) River estuary (ZRE). To study the potential risk posed by MPs to the mangrove ecosystems
the differences in bacterial communities
functions
and complexity between MPs and sediment samples were reported for the first time. Microplastics (2 991±1 586 items/kg dry weight (dw)) in sediment were mainly fibers and polyethylene
mostly transparent
and in size less than 0.5 mm. Bacterial communities and functions significantly differed from MPs in mangrove sediment. Compared with sediment
MPs significantly enriched members of Proteobacteria
Bacteroidetes
and Actinobacteria
as well as the bacteria associated with plastic-degrading and human diseases on their surface
suggesting that microbial communities on MPs may promote MPs degradation and the spread of diseases
posing potential risk to mangrove ecosystems and human health. Although bacteria on MPs exhibited a lower diversity
the co-occurrence network analysis indicated that network of bacteria colonized on MPs was bigger and more complex than those of mangrove sediment
illustrating that MPs can act as a distinct habitat in this special ecosystem. This study provides a new perspective for increasing our understanding of microplastic pollution in mangrove ecosystems.
