Article Synopsis
- Plastic pollution is a growing global issue, making it essential to study how biofilms form and behave on plastic materials in marine environments.
- Research in the Black Sea examined how biofouling on PET plastic fragments varies seasonally and vertically, with findings indicating less biofouling in surface waters compared to deeper layers and peaks in summer.
- The study suggests using the green alga Phycopeltis arundinacea as a bioindicator to determine the age of biofouling communities, ultimately helping monitor the longevity and degradation of plastic debris in oceans.
