  • Abstract:
  • Plastics have caused a great deal of ecological problems that have attracted a lot of attention worldwide. Plastic products are useful and they bring convenience to our lives. However, as a persistent pollutant, they can remain in natural environment for hundreds of years or longer. Biodegradation is the process of degradation of large polymer molecules by groups of living organisms, some of which break down the polymer chain into oligomers and monomers. Others are able to use these products, converting them to simpler waste compounds, and still others are able to use the excreted wastes. Microbial degraders and their metabolic enzymes are among the environmental agents that participate in the degradation process, which results in a conversion of the carbon in the polymer chains into smaller biomolecules or into carbon dioxide and water. Halophiles are organisms represented by archaea, bacteria, and eukarya for which the main characteristic is their salinity requirement, halophilic “salt-loving”. Halophilic microorganisms constitute the natural microbial communities of hypersaline ecosystems, which are widely distributed around the world. Halophiles are having the significant capacity to degrade the plastics.
