Environmental Metagenomic shotgun water and sediment sample
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers collected paired water and sediment samples from two sites in Côte d'Ivoire—one heavily polluted with plastic debris and one reference site—and performed shotgun metagenomic sequencing at 50 million read depth to characterize microbial communities in plastic-impacted versus clean environments.
This dataset contain sediment and water sample from Cote d'Ivoire. Both samples were collected and subjected to shotgun metagenomic sequencing using Illumina NovaSeq® X, with 50 million depths. The sampling site of Bietry was heavily burdened with plastic debris and the Kassembie site serve as reference.

Metagenomic profiling of diversified marine microbiome across microplastic-contaminated niches of Bay of Bengal, India
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted the first shotgun metagenomic analysis of microplastic-contaminated marine water and sediment samples from the Bay of Bengal coast in India. The study revealed diverse microbial communities colonizing microplastic surfaces that differ from surrounding environments, suggesting that microplastic pollution creates distinct microbial niches that may influence marine biogeochemical cycles.
Shotgun Metagenomic Analyses of Microbial Assemblages in the Aquatic Ecosystem of Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria, Kenya Reveals Multiclass Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers used shotgun metagenomics to characterize microbial communities in Lake Victoria's Winam Gulf, revealing widespread pollution including microplastics, pharmaceuticals, and heavy metals that alter microbial diversity and promote antibiotic resistance genes.
Metagenome Sequencing and Recovery of 52 Microbial Genomes from Plastic-Polluted Coastal Sediment
AI summary Read the abstract
Metagenomic analysis of sediment from a plastic-polluted coastal hotspot in India recovered 52 microbial genomes spanning 18 phyla, with 90% classifiable only at intermediate taxonomic levels, suggesting the presence of novel microbial lineages adapted to plastic-contaminated environments. These genomic insights lay the groundwork for exploring whether plastic-associated microbes can degrade plastics or whether they contribute to the spread of plastic-associated pathogens through coastal ecosystems.
Metagenomics reveals combined effects of microplastics and antibiotics on microbial community structure and function in coastal sediments
AI summary Read the abstract
A metagenomic study of coastal sediments exposed to combined microplastic and antibiotic pollution found that co-exposure altered microbial community composition and significantly elevated the abundance and diversity of antibiotic resistance genes compared to either pollutant alone.
