• Plastics act as a foe and friend to environment. The project describes about a method to degrade plastics from our surrounding. We have used a very common bacteria, pseudomonas that helped in the process. The process is little slow but very effective.

• It grows anaerobically if nitrate is available.
• Growth occurs at wide range of temperatures 6-420C the optimum being 370C.
• Growth on ordinary media producing large opaque irregular colonies with distinctive musty mawkish or earthy smell.

Step 1:-• Take 100ml of water in a beaker.• Add -Agar powder (1.3g per 100ml),
Peptone (4g per 100ml), Beef Extract (4g per 100ml)
![Page 18: Culture of bacteria](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/55616091d8b42a87628b4a0b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Step 2:-• Maintain the ph of the mixture to be
7.5 with NaOH.• Cover the flask with a piece of cotton
plug and aluminium foil.
![Page 19: Culture of bacteria](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/55616091d8b42a87628b4a0b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Step 3:-• Keep the medium and petriplates in the
autoclave with some water at constant Pressure of 15 lbs and temperature 121 0C for 20 minutes.
![Page 20: Culture of bacteria](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/55616091d8b42a87628b4a0b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Step 4:-
• Take the conical flask and pour out the liquified medium in a sterile petri plate immediately to avoid solidification of medium.
![Page 21: Culture of bacteria](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/55616091d8b42a87628b4a0b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Step 5:-
• Cover the medium plate with another petri dish. Care should be taken that excess medium should not be poured in the plate which may cause the contamination.

Step 6:-
• If the Petri Dish is completely cooled then place it in the refrigerator for about 24 hours.
![Page 23: Culture of bacteria](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/55616091d8b42a87628b4a0b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Step 7:-
• Take it out from refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature. Take the bacteria from subculture and make marks as shown in the picture with Inoculation loop. Take care that the inoculation loop is sterilized. The streaks can be done 3 to 4 times regularly as shown in figure. The complete process should be done in a laminar air flow.

![Page 25: Culture of bacteria](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/55616091d8b42a87628b4a0b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Step 8:-
• On streaking the bacteria are added to the culture. Now allow it to multiply in the dish ,keep this plate in the incubator to prevent the infections from other species.

• We see a growth of the bacteria on the plate after 2 to 3 days. Now carefully collect the bacteria in a test tube add water to it .Now we have a pure bacterial solution.

• Prepare the soil sample ready along with the plastics and add the bacteria mixture directly to the soil or in a polythene cover. Add some amount of sodium acetate that would enhance the process of degradation of plastics.

![Page 30: Culture of bacteria](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/55616091d8b42a87628b4a0b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Keep another soil sample with same amount of plastics but without the bacterium added to it. Observe the mixtures after every week and record the observations .The weight of the plastics in both the soil samples are collected. Observe it for about 3-4 weeks. We observe that the plastics in the soil sample containing the bacteria are degraded more than the other.

• This shows that the bacteria has the ability to decompose plastics .This is only a small example to show that the process happens ,but on a large scale the effect would be much beneficial to the environment.
