Microbial Biofilm Colonizing Plastic Substrates in the Ross Sea (Antarctica): First Overview of Community-Level Physiological Profiles

The microbial colonization of plastic substrates made of polyvinylchloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PE) was studied in Tethys and Road Bays (Ross Sea, Antarctica) in order to evaluate the metabolic profiles of the plastisphere community in comparison with those of the surrounding waters. PVC and PE p...
