Fate and effects of microplastic particles in a periphyton-grazer system

Kristin Schirmer, Ahmed Tlili, Renata Behra

In the aquatic environment, microplastic particles (MP) can accumulate in microbial communities that cover submerged substrata, i.e. in periphyton. Despite periphyton being the essential food source for grazers in the benthic zones, MP transfer from periph ...

A variety of biosensors have been proposed to quickly detect and measure the properties of individual microorganisms among heterogeneous populations, but challenges related to cost, portability, stability, sensitivity, and power consumption limit their app ...

NATURE PORTFOLIO2023

Microplastic particles can be found everywhere in the world and sources, transport processes and impact on the environment and human health is yet to be well understood. The goal of this work is to quantify and characterize the impact of non-point source m ...

Deformation in nanocrystalline (NC) materials is strongly influenced by the presence of a large fraction of grain boundaries. We present a comparative study on the role of intragranular root-mean-square strain and crystal-lographic texture on recovery proc ...

Visible spectrum extended-focus optical coherence microscopy for label-free sub-cellular tomography

Theo Lasser, Paul James Marchand, Arno Pino Bouwens, Daniel Pawel Szlag, Jérôme Extermann, Adrien Charles-François Raymond Descloux, David Nguyen, Miguel Sison, Séverine Coquoz

We present a novel extended-focus optical coherence microscope (OCM) attaining 0.7 μm axial and 0.4 μm lateral resolution maintained over a depth of 40 μm, while preserving the advantages of Fourier domain OCM. Our system uses an ultra-broad spectrum from ...

Microplastics in Swiss surface waters and going upstream: nature, concentrations, interaction with pollutants

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Florian Faure, Olivier Wieser, Colin Demars

Marine microplastic (< 5 mm) water pollution has met growing public and scientific interest in the last years. The situation in freshwater environments remains largely unknown, although they appear to play an important role as part of the origin of marine ...
