I’m so glad to see the outputs of this work after 2 years. I’m very proud to be part of this @SeapMicro project! Got to thank @embb_ntu for the mentorship and guidance, and @SakchamB17 and Zin for the help along the way!
#NTUsg scientists have found potential #plasticeating bacteria and potentially harmful microorganisms in the #plastisphere. The findings offer insights that may aid in tackling threats to the #ocean #ecosystem and in arriving at a possible #plasticpollution solution. @SCELSE_SG

Taken altogether, we should carry out more plastisphere studies in important coastal habitats to understand the fate and ecological impacts of plastic debris in coastal ecosystems. Gratitude to @embb_ntu @SakchamB17 @MeilinNeo @jenjennyfong and @SeapMicro for the support!

Community analysis through 16S and 18S rRNA gene sequencing unveiled potential plastic degraders, hygienically relevant bacteria, and even pathogens that may negatively impact coastal habitats.

I’m very happy to share my first research chapter for my PhD’s outcome! In this work, we surveyed coastal habitats in the tropical waters of Singapore. While plastisphere is not polymer specific, it is highly influenced by the sediment. https://t.co/FWvOoL2xUW

Yes! It was so great to present with @LauraAMichie over at @UoPPlastics last week!
It was great to present a poster alongside my colleague @jonaskohh at the #PlasticsFuture2023 conference last week 🌊💚 our work with @SeapMicro is looking at understanding #PlasticPollution in Southeast Asia and finding solutions to the problem

How cool would it be if @RealTimBooth was really worried about the sewage pollution and wanted to sing these lyrics I penned to their epic song "Getting Away with it" @wearejames #prettyplease 🙏

Extremely pleased to be sharing my 1st first author paper in @env_int_journal summarising methods in #plastisphere studies, and providing several research gaps! Thank you @embb_ntu @SakchamB17 @SeapMicro and Zin for the support!

Took the first leap into diving and glad to say I successfully completed my open water course! Diving for research is definitely one of the biggest motivation for me, can’t wait to go for more advanced courses so I can make myself useful for academic work in the future!

Myself and @angelabeckett10 wrote a review with @Sus_MDPI! 🥳 We discuss the use of sequencing as a method for the discovery of novel plastic-degrading enzymes and how to ensure the focus stays industrially-relevant! 🧬 Read about it here 👇 https://t.co/ogHfJY8uxd
