- Microbial colonization of microplastics in the Caribbean Sea (2020, background): “The structure of the plastisphere has been found to be shaped by plastic polymer type (Oberbeckmann et al. 2014, 2018; Amaral-Zettler et al. 2015; Eich et al. 2015; Debroas et al. 2017), geography (Amaral-Zettler et al. 2015), and seasonality (Oberbeckmann et al. 2014).”
- Microplastic-Associated Biofilms: A Comparison of Freshwater and Marine Environments (2018, background): “While taxonomic differences were also observed between polymer types, the data suggested that geography is likely to be a stronger predictor of plastisphere community composition at the scale of ocean basins [29, 30, 42].”
- Dangerous hitchhikers? Evidence for potentially pathogenic Vibrio spp. on microplastic particles. (2016, background): “Furthermore, Amaral-Zettler et al. (2015) reported that “Plastisphere” communities are genetically unique from the free marine water communities that envelop them and possess dominant taxa that are highly variable and diverse.”
- Microplastics in fisheries and aquaculture (2017, background): “Microplastics have previously been seen to transport bacteria including Vibrio (Amaral-Zettler et al., 2015; Harrison et al., 2014; Zettler, Mincer and Amaral-Zettler, 2013) and more specifically pathogenic strains (V.”
- Micro‐by‐micro interactions: How microorganisms influence the fate of marine microplastics (2020, background): “Such redox driven 97 constraints may even be one explanation for observations that geographic location influences the 98 microbial community colonizing plastic particles (Amaral-Zettler et al. 2015).”
