A multi-OMIC characterisation of biodegradation and microbial community succession within the PET plastisphere

Abstract Background Plastics now pollute marine environments across the globe. On entering these environments, plastics are rapidly colonised by a diverse community of microorganisms termed the plastisphere. Members of the plastisphere have a myriad of diverse functions typically found in any biofil...
