The plastisphere, which comprises the microbial community on plastic debris, rivals that of the built environment in spanning multiple biomes on Earth. Although human-derived debris has been entering the ocean for thousands of years, microplastics now numerically dominate marine debris and are primarily colonized by microbial and other microscopic life. The realization that this novel substrate in the marine environment can facilitate microbial dispersal and affect all aquatic ecosystems has intensified interest in the microbial ecology and evolution of this biotope. Whether a 'core' plastisphere community exists that is specific to plastic is currently a topic of intense investigation. This Review provides an overview of the microbial ecology of the plastisphere in the context of its diversity and function, as well as suggesting areas for further research.

塑料圈的生态学。

塑料球由塑料碎片上的微生物群落组成,在跨越地球上的多个生物群落方面可与建筑环境相媲美。尽管人类产生的碎片已经进入海洋数千年,但微塑料现在在数量上占主导地位,并且主要被微生物和其他微观生命定殖。认识到这种在海洋环境中的新型基质可以促进微生物的传播并影响所有水生生态系统,这引起了人们对该生物群落的微生物生态学和进化的兴趣。是否存在特定于塑料的“核心”塑性球群落目前是一个深入研究的话题。本综述从其多样性和功能的角度概述了塑料球的微生物生态学,
