515Y-926R three domain universal metabarcoding

This study investigates the succession of plastisphere communities on four common plastic types (polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polystyrene) in a subtropical coastal waters of Hong Kong SAR. Over a 42-day period, we analyzed the temporal development of microbial communities using 16 rRNAthree-domain universal metabarcoding.
