| Özet |
| Microplastics (MP), plastic particles <5 mm, are of global concern due to their worldwide distribution and potential repercussions on ecosystems and human well-being. In this study, MP were collected from the urbanized Susurluk basin in Türkiye to evaluate their vector function for bacterial biofilms, both in the wet and dry seasons. Bacterial biofilms were predominantly found on polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS), which constitute the most common MP types in the region. Specific potentially pathogenic bacterial genera, including Pseudomonas sp., Comamonas sp., Salmonella spp., and Shigella spp., were prevalent on MP surfaces. Notably, PE and PP harboured numerous genera of potential human and/or animal origin such as Staphylococcus, Proteus, Escherichia, Enterococcus, and Enterobacter. Water quality played a pivotal role in bacterial biofilm formation on MP. Higher salinity in … |
