Description

The ubiquity of plastic debris in marine environments raises the question, what impacts do plastics have on our marine microbiota? To investigate this, we applied bacterial 16S rRNA gene and fungal ITS2 region sequencing to identify changes in microbial biofilm community compositions on marine plastic, over time. We sampled biofilm on virgin linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), nylon-6 (PA) and glass after 2, 6 and 12 weeks of constant immersion in Te Whakaraupō-Lyttelton Harbour, Aotearo...
