Life in the “Plastisphere”: Microbial Communities on Plastic Marine Debris

TL;DR: Pits visualized in the PMD surface conformed to bacterial shapes suggesting active hydrolysis of the hydrocarbon polymer, implying that plastic serves as a novel ecological habitat in the open ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Marine Microbial Eukaryote Transcriptome Sequencing Project (MMETSP): Illuminating the Functional Diversity of Eukaryotic Life in the Oceans through Transcriptome Sequencing

Patrick J. Keeling, +89 more
- 24 Jun 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a resource of 700 transcriptomes from marine microbial eukaryotes to help understand their role in the world's oceans and their biology, evolution, and ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI

A method for studying protistan diversity using massively parallel sequencing of V9 hypervariable regions of small-subunit ribosomal RNA genes.

TL;DR: Massively parallel pyrosequencing of eukaryotic V9 hypervariable regions of SSU rRNA genes provides a means of estimating species richness from deeply-sampled populations and for discovering novel species from the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minimum information about a marker gene sequence (MIMARKS) and minimum information about any (x) sequence (MIxS) specifications.

Pelin Yilmaz, +109 more
- 01 May 2011 - 
TL;DR: To establish a unified standard for describing sequence data and to provide a single point of entry for the scientific community to access and learn about GSC checklists, the minimum information about any (x) sequence is presented (MIxS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecology of the plastisphere.

TL;DR: This Review provides an overview of the microbial ecology of the plastisphere in the context of its diversity and function, as well as suggesting areas for further research.
