日本一支研究团队在一个瓶盖内发现了一个拥有307个生物个体的小型海洋生态系统。
这一发现表明,漂浮在海中的大量塑料垃圾可以成为海洋生物的微型载体。这项研究在位于高知县进行。研究团队证实,塑料碎片可以作为海洋生物的栖息地。该研究成果于2026年7月20日发布。

A supplement made from dead bacteria reduced microplastic particles in saliva during an initial human test. The postbiotic, called Qi601, attracted plastics to its rough surfaces in lab experiments and one participant's mouth. Researchers say it could limit absorption but note the findings are preliminary.

Researchers at the University of Missouri have developed a modified strain of algae that captures microplastics from contaminated water by producing an orange-scented oil. The process also cleans wastewater and could support bioplastic production.
Scientists have determined that structures once seen as traces of tiny animals in 540-million-year-old Brazilian rocks are actually fossilized communities of bacteria and algae. The reexamination uses advanced imaging to reveal preserved cells and organic material.

Two researchers have identified a new organelle that allows a type of algae to fix nitrogen from the air. The discovery challenges a long-standing rule of biology. It could offer insights for future agricultural innovations.
