Community Composition and Seasonal Dynamics of Microplastic Biota in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea

2024-07-02

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Marine plastic pollution poses a growing environmental threat, with microplastics accumulating in the global oceans. This study profiles the seasonal dynamics and taxonomic composition of the plastisphere, the microplastic ecosystem, in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Using long-read 16S and 18S metabarcoding, we analyzed offshore microplastic and whole seawater samples across each seaso...
