Fig. 1. D2O-labeled single-cell Raman spectroscopy showing microbial metabolic activities under anoxic conditions in the plastisphere and bulk water.

Fig. 1

a Schematic diagram of the D2O-labeled single-cell Raman technique. 1 represents the incubation and preparation of microorganism liquids; 2 represents Raman spectroscopy. Raman characteristic bands assigned to intracellular lipid/fatty acid biomolecules are pinpointed. b The ratios of (C–D)/(C–D + C–H) calculated from 40 to 50 single cells in the plastisphere and bulk water. Each point is a single cell. Different letters (a and b) indicate the significant differences (P < 0.05) among each plastisphere group and bulk water group.
