Uncoupled: investigating the lack of correlation between the transcription of putative plastic-degrading genes in the global ocean microbiome and marine plastic pollution

HIGHLIGHTS

• Who: Gavin Lear et al. from the School of Biological Sciences, University of, a Symonds Street have published the Article: RESEARCH Open Access, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 01/05/2023
• How: The authors obtained 539 metatranscriptomic samples from the Tara Oceans project . To annotate the potential for plastic biodegradation in the metatranscriptome samples the authors employed PlasticDB`s protein reference. To correlate transcripts for plastic degradation with actual plastic pollution the authors obtained the model of plastic pollution in marine environments published by Eriksen et_al to assess the overall count and weight of plastic . . .
