Formation of specific bacterial assemblages on sterile polyethylene microplastic particles added to a marine aquaria system
2022-09-15
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Microplastics (MP) represent an anthropogenic surface for bacterial colonization in marine ecosystems. In order to determine if MP act as vectors of specific bacterial communities, which might include non-native and potential pathogens for the marine biota, bacterial assemblages formed on sterile polyethylene MP particles after 12 weeks of incubation in marine aquaria were characterized...
