Into the Plastisphere, Where Only the Generalists Thrive: Early Insights in Plastisphere Microbial Community Succession

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 plast...
