Physiological stress response of the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata exposed to polyethylene microplastics

Abstract:

Microplastic exposure can alter metabolite profiles of coral and reduce the photosynthetic efficiency of symbionts. This supports the hypothesis that microplastics disrupt coral host-symbiont signaling.
