16S rRNA metabarcoding analysis of plastisphere biofilm communities from Muttukadu lagoon
This study aims to understand substrate-specific microbial colonization under eutrophic conditions during Ulva lactuca bloom-formation. Different types of substrates including polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate and seawater was included in this study to obtain the biofilm-associated microbial communities through 16S amplicon sequencing.
