Microbiology

The microbial communities of microplastics.

Sequencing the microbial communities that colonise microplastics.

Environmental microbiology

The context

In water, microplastics are colonised by communities of microorganisms. Characterising them helps to understand these particles and their place in the environment.

The question

Which microbial communities can be characterised on these substrates?

The approach

Our part in this project was limited to sequencing its samples.
