Microplastic bacterial communities in the Bay of Brest

Based on samples of microplastics collected in the Bay of Brest (France), as part of the Laura Frère’s thesis defended in 2017 and devoted to a first mapping of microplastic contamination in the Brest bay, this project carried out the analysis of the colonizing species of some collected microplastics showing that microplastics are an anthropogenic substrate supporting specific bacterial assemblages.
