Culturing the Plastisphere: comparing methods to isolate culturable bacteria colonising microplastics
Microplastics quickly become colonised by diverse microbial communities, known as the Plastisphere. There is growing concern that microplastics may support the enrichment and spread of pathogenic or antimicrobial resistant microorganisms, although research to support the unique role of microplastics...
