ิBangalore considered as the one of the cosmopolitan cities in India, with nearly eight millon people and generates about 4000 tonnes of gardage every day,major portions of them are plastic rastes.
Due tothe unscientific dispodal of plastics and other waste, the pollution has risen to unnprecedented level in urban and rural areas of Bangalore, India.
Recent report suggested that the plastic waste management hes become a major environmental
concenrn along with industrial and vehicular pollution (Hemashenpagam et al.2013).
The industries which manufacture plastic bags and other materials are bound to release waste products containing both solid and liquid forms of plastics,and these wastes are dound to release waste products containing both solid and liquid forms of plastics, and these wastes are directly dumped in soil and aquatic ecosystems.
The long-chain polymers released from such xenobiontic compounds are presisted in the environment for a very long time and accumulated in living tissues and undergoes biomagnifications (Tokiwa et al. 2009; John et al.2012).
Hence, there is a high priority to address these identify novel ecofriendly to address these issues and identify novel ecofriendly strategies to detoxify or degrade the plastic materials from the ecosystem.
With the increase in usage of plastics by human and increasing pressure being on the facilities available for plastic waste disposal,the need for biodegradation of plastic wastes hes alarming importance (Zheng et al.2005).
There are reports which revealed that various soil bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes in the plasticcontaminated environment eventually tend to adapt to the extreme conditions and utilize these waste products as carbon and nitrogen sources.
The utilization of various microorganisms for plastic degradation has a profound scope because such approaches are considered to be highiy economical and ecofriendly( Narancic et al.2012; Gu et al.2000;shimao 2001).
