摘要

Rivers are a major source of microplastic particles (<5 mm) to oceans, but empirical measurements of microplastic movement in freshwater ecosystems are rare. The hard, buoyant surface of microplastic is a novel habitat that selects for unique microbial assemblages in rivers, especially downstream of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) point sources. We measured microplastic in surface water and benthic habitats 50 m upstream and 50, 305, 1115, and 1900 m downstream of the effluent outfall from a large WWTP in an urban river. We used high-throughput sequencing to measure bacterial assemblages on microplastic from surface and benthic habitats and compared them to bacterial assemblages from seston, water, and sediment. Concentrations of total microplastic and microplastic types (fragment, pellet) in surface water did not change with distance downstream of the WWTP. Thus, microplastic transport showed no net deposition or resuspension. Microplastic concentrations were much higher in the benthic zone than surface water. Benthic deposition appears to be a plastic sink over longer time scales, but subsequent studies are needed to resolve microplastic transport dynamics by particle type, size, and habitat. Composition of microplastic-attached bacterial assemblages differed from that of assemblages in water, seston, and sediment and supports domestic wastewater as a point source of microplastic (e.g., gastrointestinal taxa). Shifts in microplastic assemblages with distance from the WWTP suggest succession toward a stream-like' bacterial assemblage. Future studies are required to quantify the metabolic capacity of microplastic-associated bacteria. Estimates of transport distance, microplastic storage, and microbial interactions are critical to include lotic ecosystems in accountings of global plastic budgets.
