Journal ArticleDOI
Transitions in bacterial communities along the 2000 km salinity gradient of the Baltic Sea
Daniel P. R. Herlemann,Matthias Labrenz,Klaus Jürgens,Stefan Bertilsson,Joanna J Waniek,Anders F. Andersson +5 more
TL;DR: This study reports a first detailed bacterial inventory from vertical profiles of 60 sampling stations distributed along the salinity gradient of the Baltic Sea, one of world's largest brackish water environments, generated using 454 pyrosequencing of partial (400 bp) 16S rRNA genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of environmental microplastics by vibrational microspectroscopy: FTIR, Raman or both?
Andrea Käppler,Andrea Käppler,Dieter Fischer,Sonja Oberbeckmann,Gerald Schernewski,Matthias Labrenz,Klaus-Jochen Eichhorn,Brigitte Voit,Brigitte Voit +8 more
TL;DR: A further size division within the smaller microplastics fraction into 500–50 μm (rapid and reliable analysis by FTIR imaging) and into 50–1 μm (detailed and more time-consuming analysis by Raman imaging) is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental Factors Support the Formation of Specific Bacterial Assemblages on Microplastics.
TL;DR: It is clarified that the surrounding environment prevailingly shapes the biofilm communities, but that MP-specific assemblage factors exist.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine microplastic-associated biofilms - a review
TL;DR: First insights and research gaps related to microplastic-associated microbial biofilm communities are summarized and the question about the potential of plastic particles to serve as vectors for harmful microorganisms is raised.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine Microbial Assemblages on Microplastics: Diversity, Adaptation, and Role in Degradation.
TL;DR: It is deduced from the current literature, new comparative analyses, and considerations of microbial adaptation concerning plastic degradation that interactions between microorganisms and microplastic particles should have rather limited effects on the ocean ecosystems.
