In this study, we molecularly profiled entire microbial communities on laboratory confirmed biodegradable polybutylene sebacate-co-terephthalate (PBSeT) and polyhydroxybutyrate...

In this study, the in-situ biodegradability tests in the sea were performed. Test samples specimens, which were in the form of injection-molded plates, solvent cast films, or...

Marine plastic debris have been collected from the North Atlantic Garbage Patch in Summer 2019 during the cruise POS536. The samples have been used for 16S rRNA gene sequence...

This project contains metagenomic sequencing reads of plastic and seawater samples from Ashmore Reef in Australia to examine the planktonic microbes and plastic-associated...

The metagenomic data presented here provide insight into early biofilm formation and persistence on virgin surfaces, as well as how microbial communities self-assemble, compared...

Accumulation of marine plastic debris is an emerging and worsening man-made problem. It is not only becoming an ecological threat to marine animals but could also facilitate the...

This study aims to identify polyurethanes (PUR) biodegrading microbes and key microbial populations in marine environments.

This study aimed to unveil the composition and diversity of eukaryotes on microplastics (polyethylene and polystyrene particles) in comparison to wood particles and surrounding...

This project is focused on the metagenomic assemblies of plastisphere established at the deep seafloor ranging from 800-6000 m. The three different types of biodegradable...

Plastic debris are accumulating in the marine environment and aggregate microorganisms that form a new ecosystem called the plastisphere. Better understanding the plastisphere...

The goal is to assess the change of microbial community on biofilm of marine microplastic by temporal variation.

Overall, through a metabarcoding analysis of a broad set of samples, which allowed for a determination of the diversity and distribution patterns of fungal communities...

Persistent microplastic pollution in the marine environment is inseparable from the plastisphere, the microorganisms that form biofilms on their surface. This plastisphere has...

Plastics are offering a new niche for microorganisms colonizing their surface, the so-called ‘plastisphere’, which diversity and community structure remain to be characterized...

Aims of study were to analyse the plastic associated community across redox zones and temporal scales from a commercial marina in Denmark, samples were placed within the water...

This study uses a combination of high-throughput DNA sequencing (HTS) and Causal Network Analysis, to investigate the biogeography, the presence and diversity of potentially...

Mediterranean Sea is vast accumulation area of plastic debris, having multiple impacts on the marine environment. The surface of these polymers is rapidly colonized by...

In order to address the plastic environmental pollution, biodegradable plastics are accepted as an acceptable environmental solution. Even if their degradation has been attested...

The present study compares the structures of bacterial communities from floating plastics, sediment-associated plastics and sediments from the Mediterranean Sea. Secondly, the...

A 3-month incubation experiment in which High-density polyethylene, Low-density polyethylene and Polypropylene were deployed into the coastal waters of the Bermuda Platform to...
