AB  - Marine plastic pollution is a major concern worldwide, but the understanding of 
      plastisphere dynamics remains limited in the southern hemisphere. To address this 
      knowledge gap, we conducted a study in South Australia to investigate the 
      prokaryotic community of the plastisphere and its temporal changes over 4 weeks. 
      We submerged six plastic types (i.e., High-Density Polyethylene [HDPE], Polyvinyl 
      chloride [PVC], Low-Density Polyethylene [LDPE], Polypropylene [PP], Polystyrene 
      [PS] and the understudied textile, polyester [PET]) and wood in seawater and 
      sampled them weekly to characterize the prokaryotic community using 16S rRNA gene 
      metabarcoding. Our results showed that the plastisphere composition shifted 
      significantly over short time scales (i.e., 4 weeks), and each plastic type had 
      distinct groups of unique genera. In particular, the PVC plastisphere was 
      dominated by Cellvibrionaceae taxa, distinguishing it from other plastics. 
      Additionally, the textile polyester, which is rarely studied in plastisphere 
      research, supported the growth of a unique group of 25 prokaryotic genera (which 
      included the potential pathogenic Legionella genus). Overall, this study provides 
      valuable insights into the colonization dynamics of the plastisphere over short 
      time scales and contributes to narrowing the research gap on the southern 
      hemisphere plastisphere.
