Article Synopsis
- Fungi play a crucial role in marine ecosystems, yet their diversity and distribution in ocean sediments are not well understood, particularly in relation to microplastics (MPs).
- This study examined fungal abundance and diversity in sediment samples from three locations in the Mediterranean Sea, revealing that many fungal species were newly identified in these marine environments.
- The research highlighted "substrate specificity" in how fungal communities interact with sediments and MPs, suggesting that varying levels of human activity at different sites can significantly impact these fungal populations and overall ecosystem functions.
