From: Oceanic regions shape the composition of the Antarctic plastisphere
A Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDs) plots of the marine plastisphere from the Antarctic Peninsula based on the Bray-Curtis distance matrix for the rRNA 16S, and on the Jaccard distance matrix for the 18S-V4 and 18S-V9 rRNA datasets, according to region (NW: Northwestern and SW: Southwestern). B Shared and unique ASVs between regions (NW and SW), polymer type (PA - polyamide; PE - polyethylene; PP - polypropylene; PS - polystyrene; PU - polyurethane) and plastic shape (foam, fragment, line and pellet).
