Figure 1

Scanning electron micrographs showing prokaryotic attachment on LDPE microplastics. Images were taken of LDPE fragments sampled from microcosm experiments containing coastal marine sediment from three sites: SP1 (a and b), SP2 (c and d) and WB (e and f) at Spurn Point, UK, sampled either immediately or after 14 days (left-hand and right-hand panels, respectively). The scale bars are 5 μM.
