Abstract

The exposition of samples of cured polyester resin with the addition of metal oxides and cellulose (control sample) in the seawater of the Gelendzhik Bay of the Black Sea was carried out for 60 days. It was shown that eukaryotic diatoms, as well as prokaryotic blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) were the most numerous members of communities inhabiting the surfaces of samples. By sequencing the V4 region of the prokaryotic 16S rRNA gene and bioinformatic analysis of these results, it was shown that in fouling on samples with chromium, lead, zinc, and titanium oxides, the proportion of bacteria resistant to these metals increased, while bacteria potentially capable of degrading polyester resins formed a minor part of the communities.
