Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) plots of bacterial communities (16S rRNA gene) colonizing weathered PE (w PE), non-weathered PE (nw PE) and glass in coastal Mediterranean seawater after 2 and 9 days of incubation. Ordinations based on UniFrac distances, both unweighted a and weighted b. ak = 2 axes, stress 0.224; bk = 2 axes, stress 0.072
