Abstract:Rivers are the main route for plastic entering the ocean, including the Musi River Estuary. Characteristics of bacteria that are able to degrade plastic waste through polymerase enzymes. The aim of this research is to determine the ability of bacterial isolates to degrade plastic and identify the types of bacteria that degrade plastic waste. This study used plastic bottles, nylon nets, and snack wrappers as objects for degradation measurement. Identification analysis of the 16S rRNA gene using universal PCR pr… Show more
