Abstract

Low density polyethylene (LDPE), a synthetic polymer plays a key role in day today life, it persist for long time when disposed and cause environmental pollution, potentially harming human life and aquatic habitats. The main aim of the present manuscript is to isolate and identify a potent isolate degrading LDPE from garbage soil and perform analytical studies to check the efficiency of degradation. The degraded LDPE is studied based on DSC, FTIR, GSM and XRD analysis after one month of incubation by Streptomyces werraensis SDJM which has been isolated from garbage soil. In Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) the melting temperature of the LDPE sample is reduced to 3.78%, in Gram per square meter (GSM) analysis the LDPE sample weight is declined to 17.1%, in X-ray diffraction intensity of absorption is decreased to half of its value when compared to control at 21.4 and 23.5 peaks of angular interval (2) and in FTIR analysis the intensity of carbonyl band is decreased at 1000-1800cm−1. Based on analytical results it confirms Streptomyces werraensis SDJM is a potent isolate from garbage soil in degrading LDPE.
