Biodegradation of Plastics using Bacteria Isolated from Wastes Dumping Soil within Sokoto Metropolis

Biodegradation of Plastics using Bacteria Isolated from Wastes Dumping Soil within Sokoto Metropolis

Study’s Excerpt: • Bacteria isolated from Sokoto waste sites degrade polyethylene effectively. • Bacillus and Pseudomonas species showed highest plastic weight loss (10–50%). • Optimal degradation occurred at 37 °C and pH 7.0 in minimal salt medium. • 16S rRNA sequencing confirmed diversi...
