Plastics are ubiquitous in the oceans and constitute suitable matrices for bacterial attachment growth. Understanding biofouling mechanisms is a key issue to assessing ecological impacts fate of plastics marine environment. In this study, we investigated different steps plastic colonization polyolefin-based plastics, on first one hand, including conventional low-density polyethylene (PE), additivated PE with pro-oxidant (OXO) artificially-aged OXO (AA-OXO); polyester,...
