“…A multitude of studies shows the global distribution of microplastic particles, that can be found in all environments (water, land, air) ( Koelmans et al, 2014 ; Avio et al, 2015 ; Li, Tse & Fok, 2016 ; Xia, Niu & Yu, 2023 ). Moreover, microplastics can be taken up by a variety of hydrobionts of different taxa and trophic levels, which has been reported by several studies ( Bom & Sá, 2021 ; Dellisanti et al, 2023 ). The ingestion of microplastics can have harmful effects on biota ( Revel et al, 2019 ; Trifuoggi et al, 2019 ; Thomas et al, 2020 ; Chelomin et al, 2022 ).…”

Вiotic factors may be the driving force of plastic fragmentation along with abiotic factors. Since understanding the processes of biodegradation and biological depolymerization of plastic is important, a new methodological approach was proposed in this study to investigate the role of marine invertebrate digestive enzymes in plastic biodegradation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the possibility of enzymatic biodegradation of polyethylene fragments in the digestive gland homogenate of marine invertebrates differing in their feeding type (Strongylocentrotus nudus, Patiria pectinifera, Mizuhopecten yessoensis). Significant changes are found in the functional groups of the polymer after 3 days of incubation in the digestive gland homogenates of the studied marine invertebrates. A significant increase in the calculated CI (carbonyl index) and COI (сarbon-oxygen index) indices compared to the control sample was observed. The results suggest that digestive enzymes of studied organisms may play an important role in the biogeochemical cycling of plastic.

“…When biota samples such as shellfish are taken into account for MPs analysis, the sample pretreatments are usually aimed at eliminating the animal tissue from the sample before MP determination, 11–13 and the most used ones for this purpose are digestion promoted by alkali solutions, 14 and oxidation. 15 Less common approaches use acid solutions, 16 and enzymes treatment 17,18 to remove all the proteinaceous fraction.…”

“…Therefore, we evaluated and compared in a transplant experiment (i) the mfs accumulation capacity of the two species exposed at the same sites; (ii) the effect of the bag on the uptake of mfs, exposing the biomonitors with and without a net. In addition, we used Raman microspectroscopy to identify the polymer type for a set of mfs [16].…”

Anthropogenic microfibers (mfs) are synthetic particles composed of cellulose (cotton, rayon, acetate, etc.) or petrochemical-based polymers (i.e., microplastics—MPs) that are less than 5 mm in length. The accumulation of mfs, including MPs, in the moss Hypnum cupressiforme and the lichen Pseudevernia furfuracea was compared in a transplant experiment lasting 6 weeks. We also tested the effects of the bag used for transplants on the accumulation of mfs. Anthropogenic particles trapped by both biomonitors were mostly filamentous (99% mfs), and their number was overall higher in the moss (mean ± s.d. 102 ± 24) than in the lichen (mean ± s.d. 87 ± 17), at parity of sample weight. On average, mfs found in lichen were significantly longer than those found in moss bags, suggesting that lichens are less efficient at retaining smaller mfs. Exposure without the net yielded a higher mfs number accumulation in both species, indicating that “naked” transplants provide greater sensitivity. The calculation of daily fluxes evidenced a loss of mfs in the lichen, suggesting the presence of more stable bonds between moss and mfs. Raman microspectroscopy carried out on about 100 debris confirms the anthropogenic nature of mfs, of which 20% were MPs. Overall results indicate that moss is preferable to lichen in the biomonitoring of airborne mfs especially when exposed naked.
