Characterisation and plastic-degrading potential of plastisphere-associated microorganisms
… that inhabit the plastic’s surface, termed the ‘plastisphere’, are suggested to have unique functional properties, including the possession of plastic-degrading genes, making microorganisms a vital tool in bioremediation practices. We collected biofilms from a range of different plastics (linear …

Multi-omic Investigation of Plastic-Associated Microbes: Bioinformatic Insights into Plastic Biodegradation and Novel Degrading Genes Across Environments
… taxa in the degraded samples. In regards to plastisphere pathogenicity, we observe no association between virulence factors and plastics in any environment. Additionally, we report a co-occurrence network analysis of 10+ million proteins associated with the plastisphere. This analysis …

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Microbial Communities Colonizing Plastic Tent Fabrics in a Tropical Environment
<p>Plastic polymers provide immense utility in almost all industries. However, their mass production and persistence in natural ecosystems has resulted in a significant accumulation of plastic waste in our biosphere. To protect structurally important plastic products from degradation as well as …
