Identification of rare microbial colonizers of plastic materials incubated in a coral reef environment

Identification of rare microbial colonizers of plastic materials incubated in a coral reef environment

Plastic waste accumulation in marine environments has complex, unintended impacts on ecology that cross levels of community organization. To measure succession in polyolefin-colonizing marine bacterial communities, an in situ time-series experiment was conducted in the oligotrophic coastal waters of...
