The composition of bacterial communities associated with plastic biofilms differs between different polymers and stages of biofilm succession.
Once in the ocean, plastics are rapidly colonized by complex microbial communities. Factors affecting the development and composition of these communities are still poorly understood. Additionally, whether there are plastic-type specific communities developing on different plastics remains enigmatic...
