Plastic materials have been used in various ways such as packaging material, glass wares,certain parts of instruments of various grades, many more. As plastic products are not easilydecomposed and accumulate in environment. This has created an adverse effect on ourecosystem. Bioplastics are best alternative to overcome these issues and reduce damages inecosystem. Bioplastics are easily and speedily degrade under natural environmentalconditions. Polyhydroxybutyrate or PHB is a bioplastic, one of the best natural polymer andalternative of synthetic plastic material. Bioplastic are comparative more flexible to convertinto various forms also. Normally, it is a lipid reserve material produce in adverse or understress conditions and stored within the cell wall of micro-organisms. Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate(PHB) is a natural biopolymer produce by wide range of microbes which is a storage granuleused by microbes as an energy as well as carbon source.this microbes includes fromextremophiles to mesophiles. The objective of our work was to isolate potential PHBproducing bacteria using agro-residues as carbon sources within natural environmentconditions. This work describes the understanding of microbes that are involved in thedegradation of both natural and synthetic polymers.Also to contribute in green environmentby providing eco- friendly product.
