Nanoplastic Size Governs the Decoupling of Microbial Survival from Antibiotic Degradation

Abstract Nanoplastics (NPs) and antibiotics co-occur in wastewater systems, but how NP size influences antibiotic biodegradation by specialized degraders remains unclear. Here, we investigated the effects of europium-doped polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs; PS20 and PS100) on sulf...
