We fully sequenced the genomes of 16 Vibrio cultivars isolated from eel larvae, plastic
marine debris (PMD), the pelagic brown macroalga Sargassum, and seawater samples …

Nanoplastics (NPs), defined as plastic particles with dimensions less than 100 nm, have
emerged as a persistent environmental contaminant with potential risk to both environment …

The presence of plastics and microplastics in water environments has raised concerns for
potential negative impacts. The broader ecological implications for ecosystem functioning …

The taxonomy of marine plastisphere communities has been extensively studied,
demonstrating the ubiquity of hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria of potential biotechnological …

Plastics pose a considerable challenge to aquatic ecosystems because of their increasing
global usage and non-biodegradable properties. Coastal plastic debris can persist in …

MPs carrying ARGs can travel between freshwater and seawater due to intensive land-sea
interaction in onshore marine aquaculture zones (OMAZ). However, the response of ARGs …

Despite increasing efforts across various disciplines, the fate, transport, and impact of
synthetic plastics on the environment and public health remain poorly understood. To better …

Recently, there has been increased attention to hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria in the
plastisphere. One particular genus, Alcanivorax, is reported in the biodegradation of several …

Plastic pollution of the ocean is a top environmental concern. Biodegradable plastics
present a potential “solution” in combating the accumulation of plastic pollution, and their …

Abstract The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a significant collection of plastic introduced by
human activities, provides an ideal environment to study bacterial lifestyles on plastic …
