Plastisphere evolves a new and unique ecosystem. Until now, researchers hadn’t looked at microbes living on the debris, which make up a sort of artificial “microbial reef,” one of the scientists said. The organisms on the plastic debris were different from the microbial communities living on driftwood, feathers and other natural items floating in the ocean, and also different from the assemblage of microbes living in open water, the researchers report. via Environmental Science and Technology
