Fig.1 Use of plastic in different
products
Plastic has
remarkable
properties.
The word plastic
derived from
Greek word
“plasticos: which
means to mold
and reshaped.
Plastic is made by
polymerization.
its usage increase
20 folds since of
its invention,
transcending 300
million tons per
year and
extending up to
335 million tons
in 2015 . And
quadruple by
2050.

light weight

odourless.

Advantages:
UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE FAISALABAD – UAF 6
Disadvantages
Gives off gas which is harmful for health.
Cheap that’s why used alot by people , so it is a lot for landfill.
Floats on ocean surface and kill marine animals.
Destroy ozone layer.
Eaten by sea animal and add in our food chain.
Decrease soil fertility.
Fig. 4 Disadvantages of plastics
 Polyethylene terephthalate(PET)
UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE FAISALABAD – UAF_ 7
Molecular formula is C12H14O4
IUPAC name 2-methoxyethyl-4 acetyl benzoate with molecular mass 222.25g/mol
Invented by Hoffman and Philllips
Used in making bottles and storage food storage
Production in 2019 is 30 million tons and expected in 2024 is 30.5 million

Discovery and characteristics of bacteria Ideonella
sakainesis
9
In 2016 Japanese
researcher discover
bacteria which can
degrade plastic
named I.sakainesis
It secrete two
enzymes i-e
and MEHtase
• Aerobic
• Rod-shape
• Non-spore forming
• Motile
• Having single
flagellum
• pH 5.5-9.0
7-7.5)
• Temperature 15-42
°C (optimum 30-37
°C)

Advantages of using I.sakainesis for degradation of plastic
This method is useful in
removing the plastic
However the terephthalic acid
can be isolated and reused, this
provide a huge saving in the
production of new polymers
UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE FAISALABAD – UAF
Disadvantages of using I.sakainesis for degradation of
plastic
18
Some toxins are released as plastic
eating bacteria by-products. These
have the potential to harm the
environment more than the plastic
waste itself.
UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE FAISALABAD – UAF
The future of I.sakainesis
19
This bacteria is generally present in swamps where the
plastic is present in less amount
Thus, a modification (genetic engineering) is needed in
order to optimize the potential of this bacterium. Solving
this problem, genetic engineering is done by inserting
the DNA of Azotobacter into Ideonella’s plasmid.
