Stage-structured plastisphere succession sustains antibiotic resistomes on microplastics during full-scale A2/O wastewater treatment.
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) efficiently remove microplastics (MPs), yet residual MPs in high-volume effluents may remain environmentally relevant. Whether MP-associated plastisphere communities undergo succession distinct from the water phase during sequential treatment, and how this affects antibiotic resistan...
