  1. Trillions of plastic particles are polluting the #oceans . But plastic has also become a habitat for bacteria, viruses, fungi, and algae. Researchers from ( via on Bluesky ) @ufz and @geomar_de have discovered how these microbes survive. #Plastic #Plastisphere

  6. Exploring the new #fungi identified in 2025 fems-microbiology.org/femsmicr by Dr. Sarah Wettstadt

    "From ant-manipulating fungi in Brazil to #RustFungi in Pakistan, and fungi from the #plastisphere in South Korea, 2025 revealed how diverse fungi are, and which ecological roles they play. Also, bamboo-dwelling species with unique morphologies caught our eye, highlighting the beauty of nature."

    "As a densely populated micro-ecosystem, the #plastisphere is made up of primary producers, predators, symbionts, and decomposers. #Diatoms are considered to be one of the earliest colonizers of plastic surfaces. Over time, as the community matures, they are replaced by other eukaryotes, such as heterotrophic #dinoflagellates."

  15. There's a lot of plastic. Both on land and in the oceans.

    Finding ways to break down that plastic, particularly via bioremediation, is an important field of study.

    Chinese researchers have been investigating the coastal salt marshes in Jiangsu and have found dozens of bacterial and fungal species deemed a "plastisphere microbiome" capable of plastic breakdown.

  25. As I was traveling the past days I revisited the both endearing, informative and poignant #podcast that is #Plastisphere by @plastisphere

    It's a highly personal yet fact filled journalistic exploration of the world humanity is haphazardly creating with our love of #plastic.

    If you haven't listened to it I invite you to just sample the first episode and then decide. All episodes are freely available on anjakrieger.com/plastisphere/

    #safety #warning: episode 5 will make you tear up.

  30. Today ends the second UN Plastic Treaty, a few days before #WorldOceansDay. "Global problems require global cooperation - I hope that all countries can come to the table to discuss our growing plastic pollution problem," says Linda Ameral-Zettler, plastic waste researcher at NIOZ. For her and other researchers, it's every day World Oceans Day.
