5/ 💡 Key takeaway: Plastic degradation is just one part of a broader suite of plastisphere-specific processes. More studies into multitude of plastisphere processes are needed!

4/ 🌱 Did #Cyanobacteria and #nitrogen-fixing bacteria supported plastic degraders by ensuring nitrogen uptake ? — an overlooked but vital role in the plastisphere.

3/ 🌍 By day 53, biofilms transitioned into soil crust-like communities dominated by #Cyanobacteria and algae. Plastic degradation slowed as phototrophs and grazers outcompeted early colonizers, marking a shift to community-driven processes.

2/ 🦠 Early biofilms (2-14 days) contained plastic-degrading #Bacteria (Rhodococcus, Bacillus) as part of the #rarebiosphere. Key genes (alkB, fadL) for breaking down #hydrocarbons were highly active, especially in plastic-polluted soil.
