Microplastics–Lactic Acid Bacteria Interplay: Alterations in Probiotic Function and Microplastic Integrity
This study evaluated the potential reciprocal effects associated with interactions between lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with probiotic potential and two common microplastics, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), under controlled in vitro conditions. Bacterial growth, adhesion-related properti...
