Bacterial biofilm colonization and succession in tropical marine waters are similar across different types of stone materials used in seawall construction by Summers, Stephen, Pek, Y. Shona, Vinod, Deepthi P., McDougald, Diane, Todd, Peter A., Birch, William R., Rice, Scott A.

“…Metagenomic assessment of marine microbial communities indicated no significant impact of material on microbial diversity, irrespective of the diverse surface chemistry and topography. Based on KEGG pathway analysis, surface properties appeared to influence the community composition and function during the initial stages of biofilm development, but this effect disappeared by Day 31. …”
