Olympia Oyster (Ostrea lurida) populations rapidly declined in Washington over a century ago. Currently, there are efforts by the state of Washington DNR to monitor Ostrea...

Microbial communities that grow on surfaces of solid materials in the presence of water are known as a biofilm. Our observation suggested that the biofilm community sampled from...

The presented experiments confirmed the possibility of inducing different prokaryotic and eukaryotic biofilm communities on microplastics from an initial seawater source by...

Steel marine structures, including shipwrecks, provide foci of biodiversity when they develop into artificial reefs. Development begins with deposition of a biofilm. The effects...

Microplastics have emerged as a new anthropogenic substrate that can readily be colonized by microorganisms. Nevertheless, information of the assembly processes and long-term...

This study explores fundamental ecological questions regarding colonization of animal communities and the role of microbial biofilms in controlling these processes at deepsea...

Hydrophobic Fluortex adsorbents were coated with a thin oil film, placed in field systems and deployed in a marine coastal area near Longyearbyen on Svalbard. Two field...

In this study gut and body surface microbiome of two cryptic gastropod species (Littorina obtusata and Littorina fabalis) as well as environmental biofilm microbiomes from their...

Here, by means of a field experiment, we investigated how the removal of macroalgal canopies favors coral recruitment and influences the structure of epilithic microscopic...

The release of hydrocarbons and dispersants in the marine environment may place at risk the preservation of historic steel shipwrecks on the seafloor. In this study, we exposed...

This study aims to isolate various bacterial species from Gulf of Mannar region, India.

This study explores the colonization and biodegradation potential of fungal communities on foamed polystyrene and biodegradable plastics immersed in a marina environment over...

The study investigated the influence of seasonal and biogeographical factors on composition and structure of microbial communities colonizing plastic water bottles in the North...

The proliferation of barren has been reported in the coast of South Korea during decades. Algae-predator is a biological factors for barren. This study analyzed the microbiota...

This study aimed at understanding whether a core plastic biofilm community exists, and whether it is related to plastic degraders.

Marine sponges (phylum Porifera) are a diverse, phylogenetically deep-branching clade known for forming intimate partnerships with complex communities of microorganisms. To...

The Lost City Hydrothermal Field, an ultramafic-hosted system located 15 km west of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, has experienced at least 30,000 years of hydrothermal activity....

A 12-year sample archive of DNA from Alaskan arctic tundra ecosystems are available to the Earth Microbiome Project for comparison of microbial diversity across a range of...

The objective of this study is to understand how microbial community structure is shaped by Fe-Mn substrates at the Rio Grande Rise, Southwestern Atlantic...

Mangrove habitats harbor abundant biofilms covering sediment as well as biological surfaces (mangrove trees, plastic waste...). This project aims at characterizing the...
