Summary

Researchers present complete genome sequences of nine bacterial strains isolated from microplastics collected from water and sediments of the Bow River in Calgary, Canada. These genome sequences provide insight into the freshwater plastisphere microbiome and the plastic biodegradation potential of riverine bacteria.

Study Type Environmental

Abstract We present the complete genome sequences of nine bacterial strains isolated from microplastics from water or sediments of the Bow River in Calgary, Alberta. These isolates provide insight into the freshwater microplastic microbiome and their plastic biodegradation potential.
