Microbial colonization patterns and biodegradation of petrochemical and biodegradable plastics in lake waters: insights from a field experiment

IntroductionOnce dispersed in water, plastic materials become promptly colonized by biofilm-forming microorganisms, commonly known as plastisphere.MethodsBy combining DNA sequencing and Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM), we investigated the plastisphere colonization patterns following exposu...
