Title

Bioremediaton Of Plastic From Polyethylene Degrading Micro-Organism Present In The Soil Environment Using Their Enzyme Activity.

Abstract

Synthetic plastics are fundamental in our modern way of life and their accumulation is therefore one of the great concern for the environment and human health.(Petro)polymers derived from petroleum such as polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyurethane (PU),Polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are extremely resistant to natural pathways of biodegradation. To degrade such plastics which are harmful for natural environment is the aim of this research. Some micro-organisms capable of doing this Petro polymers degrading under in vitro conditions have been isolated and characterized which was found to be belonging to the group of endospore forming bacillus and mucor fungal species. In this experimental research study the enzymes expressed by these microbes have been extracted and processed as a part of degradation procedures. The procedure is quite lengthy takes upto 60 days or more depending on the isolated organism. Several similar 15-20 research papers were referred from online journal for studying the methods and outcome. The rate of biodegradation of the polymer depends on several factors, including chemical structures, molecular weights and degrees of crystallinity they are polymers of large molecules with both regular crystals (crystalline region) and irregular groups(amorphous region), where the latter provides flexibility to the polymers. PET-based plastics have a high degree of crystallinity (30- 50%), which is one of the main reasons for their low microbial degradation. The enzymatic degradation occurs in two phases: adsorption of the enzymes to the polymer surface, followed by hydrolysis of the bonds using PETase or other such enzymes. Here the traditional broth medium was used in degrading method. The sources of plastic degradation enzymes can be found in micro-organisms from different environments such as soil, riverside, beaches etc. There are multiple case studies of india and other Asian countries where the water bodies are contaminated by plastic waste, few fertile lands where plastic dumps are present on ground soil.To find a solution for eliminating this harmful plastic waste from environment which is dangerous for animals, humans and other living organsim in future this research is carried out. Microbial and enzymatic degradation of petro plastics waste is a promising strategy for depolymerization of petro plastics waste into polymeric monomers for recycling or for converting waste plastics into enhance bioproducts, such as biodegradable polymers. Bioplastic as an application was prepared and demonstrated using organic sources. It provides as an aid towards harmful plastic present in the environment as it biodegradable in nature.
