[1] Plastic bottles dominate waste in the ocean, with an estimated 1m of them reaching the sea every minute.
As garrafas de plástico dominam os resíduos nos oceanos, estimando-se que 1 milhão delas cheguem ao mar a cada minuto.
The biggest culprit is polyethylene terephthalate (Pet) bottles.
O maior culpado são as garrafas de tereftalato de polietileno (Pet).
[2] Last month, a study found two bacteria capable of breaking down Pet - or, as the headlines put it, “eating plastic”.
No mês passado, um estudo encontrou duas bactérias capazes de decompor Pet - ou, como dizem as manchetes, “comer plástico”.
Known as Thioclava sp. BHET1 and Bacillus sp. BHET2, the bacteria were isolated in a laboratory - but they were discovered in the ocean.
Conhecida como Thioclava sp. BHET1 e Bacillus sp. BHET2, a bactéria foi isolada em laboratório – mas foi descoberta no oceano.
[3] The bacteria are the latest example of new organisms that appear, to be growing in a unique environment: the vast amounts of plastic at sea.
As bactérias são o exemplo mais recente de novos organismos que surgem e crescem num ambiente único: as grandes quantidades de plástico no mar.
[4] Like the atmosphere, magnetosphere and hydrosphere, the plastisphere is a region.
Assim como a atmosfera, a magnetosfera e a hidrosfera, a plastisfera é uma região.
But it is also an ecosystem, like the Siberian steppe or coral reefs - a plasticised marine environment.
Mas é também um ecossistema, como a estepe siberiana ou os recifes de coral – um ambiente marinho plastificado.
The best-known concentration of seaborne plastic waste is the Great Pacific garbage patch, a sort of plastic soup spread over an area roughly twice the size of France, but plastic is everywhere.
A concentração mais conhecida de resíduos plásticos transportados pelo mar é a mancha de lixo do Grande Pacífico, uma espécie de sopa de plástico espalhada por uma área aproximadamente duas vezes maior que a França, mas o plástico está por toda parte.
[5] First described in a 2013 study to refer to a collective of plastic-colonising organisms, including bacteria and fungi, the term has since expanded.
Descrito pela primeira vez num estudo de 2013 para se referir a um coletivo de organismos colonizadores de plástico, incluindo bactérias e fungos, o termo expandiu-se desde então.
It now loosely encompasses larger organisms, from crabs to jellyfish, which float across oceans on marine plastics.
Agora abrange vagamente organismos maiores, desde caranguejos a águas-vivas, que flutuam através dos oceanos em plásticos marinhos.
- "crabs" – caranguejos.
- "jellyfish" – águas-vivas.
The term was coined by Linda Amaral-Zettler, a marine microbiologist at the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research.
O termo foi cunhado por Linda Amaral-Zettler, microbiologista marinha do Royal Dutch Institute for Sea Research.
[6] Although the term may be recent, the phenomenon is not.
Embora o termo possa ser recente, o fenômeno não é.
“The plastisphere has been around for as long as plastic has existed,” Amaral-Zettler says.
“A plastisfera existe desde que o plástico existe”, diz Amaral-Zettler.
[7] What is new is our understanding of just how complex an ecosystem the world of plastic can be.
O que é novo é a nossa compreensão de quão complexo pode ser o ecossistema do mundo do plástico.
In the plastisphere there are organisms that photosynthesise; there are predators and prey; symbionts and parasites, allowing for “a full range of interactions possible, as in other ecosystems”, says Amaral-Zettler.
Na plastisfera há organismos que fotossintetizam; há predadores e presas; simbiontes e parasitas, permitindo “uma gama completa de interações possíveis, como em outros ecossistemas”, diz Amaral-Zettler.
[8] Another unique feature of the plastisphere is that humans invented it.
Outra característica única da plastisfera é que os humanos a inventaram.
Every other ecosystem has evolved over millions of years.
Todos os outros ecossistemas evoluíram ao longo de milhões de anos.
The meaning of that is not yet clear.
O significado disso ainda não está claro.
Wright believes “its more an issue of scale” because unlike most naturally occurring materials, plastic is highly durable and persistent, allowing the growth and spread of attached organisms over a massive area.
Wright acredita que “é mais uma questão de escala” porque, ao contrário da maioria dos materiais naturais, o plástico é altamente durável e persistente, permitindo o crescimento e a propagação de organismos aderidos por uma área enorme.
- "attached organisms" – organismos aderidos.
[9] There are also concerns about plastic-colonising organisms that can travel around the world.
Também há preocupações sobre organismos colonizadores de plástico que podem viajar pelo mundo.
AmaralZettler's 2013 study discovered Vibrio, a type of bacteria known to contain several species of pathogens, including some associated with gastroenteritis.
O estudo de AmaralZettler de 2013 descobriu Vibrio, um tipo de bactéria conhecido por conter várias espécies de patógenos, incluindo alguns associados à gastroenterite.
[10] For the scientists, the plastisphere's presence is a less obvious concern than its potential health dangers.
Para os cientistas, a presença da plastisfera é uma preocupação menos óbvia do que os seus potenciais perigos para a saúde.
Most plastic ends up in landfill, but nearly a third of it ends up in the sea.
A maior parte do plástico acaba em aterros, mas quase um terço dele acaba no mar.
- "landfill" – aterros, lixões.
The majority sinks, but a lot does not, becoming a home for all sorts of microbes that might not otherwise have a home.
A maioria afunda, mas muitos não, tornando-se um lar para todos os tipos de micróbios que de outra forma não teriam um lar.
[11] “At the moment that's still very much an active area of research,” Wright says.
“No momento, essa ainda é uma área de pesquisa muito ativa”, diz Wright. Existem dois campos principais de investigação: p
There are two main fields of investigation: potential pathogens in the plastisphere, and the potential for some microbes to biodegrade hydrocarbons, such as the plastic-eaters identified last month.
Há dois campos principais de investigação: potenciais patógenos na plastosfera e o potencial de alguns micróbios biodegradarem hidrocarbonetos, como os comedores de plástico identificados no mês passado.
[12] Those are not unique to the ocean.
Isso não é exclusivo do oceano.
In 2016, scientists in Japan discovered Ideonelta sakaiensis, a species of bacteria at a rubbish tip that had evolved an enzyme that enabled it to eat plastic.
Em 2016, cientistas no Japão descobriram Ideonelta sakaiensis, uma espécie de bactéria num aterro de lixo que desenvolvera uma enzima que lhe permitiu comer plástico.
[13] But another study in the same year found that, compared with bacteria in the surrounding waters, those in the plastisphere possessed an enriched collection of genes, suggesting that they had adapted for a “surface-attached lifestyle”.
Mas outro estudo do mesmo ano descobriu que, em comparação com as bactérias nas águas circundantes, as da plastisfera possuíam uma coleção enriquecida de genes, sugerindo que se tinham adaptado a um “estilo de vida ligado à superfície”.
[14] Could the plastisphere evolve in such a way that bacteria would essentially eat it, or at least help us identify ways to break down our plastic waste?
Poderá a plastisfera evoluir de tal forma que as bactérias a comam essencialmente, ou pelo menos nos ajudem a identificar formas de decompor os nossos resíduos plásticos?
“I'd definitely agree that [microbes on] plastics are going to be the key place to look in the fight against plastic,” says Wright.
“Eu definitivamente concordo que [os micróbios nos] plásticos serão o principal ponto a ser observado na luta contra o plástico," diz Wright.
