Aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are receiving micro- and macro-plastic pollutants alarmingly from various anthropogenic activities. The complications caused by microplastics are largely unexplored and need substantial studies. In the current study, we investigated the repressive effects of negatively and positively charged polystyrene microspheres of two variable sizes (0.05 and 0.5 μm) on functioning of unicellular green microalgae. For the purpose, a pollution-resistant microalgal species was isolated and identified by 18 S rRNA gene sequencing as Chlorella vulgaris. The functioning of the pure-cultured microalgal cells was then assessed in terms of their better metal (Cu |
