One of the most pressing environmental problems contemporary civilizations confront is ever-increasing amount plastic waste. Because their impact on every living thing, these wastes are seen as a major issue global scale. To counteract harmful effects caused by conventional disposal methods, it critical to show that eco-friendly alternatives viable. Biodegradation one best methods for removing In this study, we aimed identify bacteria from sewage wastewater treatment plants (SWWs) could degrade low-density polyethylene (LDPE). Bacterial strains isolated sewerage were incubated 120 days in 50 mL minimal salt media (MSM) containing 60 mg After four months, our research revealed Bacillus tropicus (SH4) demonstrated significant potential, degrading LDPE up 21.6%. We observed changes after biodegradation using FTIR, GC-MS, and SEM analysis. conclusion, microorganisms extracted possess ability mitigate contamination aquatic ecosystems. Future proteomics genome investigations necessary elucidate enzymes metabolic processes implicated breakdown.
