What if we could degrade plastic😱😱!!

What if I as a microbiologist develop
 one or more strains of microorganisms to utilize a synthetic polymer
as the sole source of carbon and energy then I guess it would be a great help and gift to our beautiful Earth πŸ’πŸ’⛑ ..Yup it's not a myth it's possible now actinomycetes Rhodococus ruber and fungus Penicillium simplicisimum have shown to produce extra cellular enzymes able to degrade polythene πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ so what you guys think about it,do mention it in comment section and feel free to give your suggestions or strategies to control plastic by its ecofriendly decomposition as your strategy could vary from mine πŸ™πŸ™

Efficiency of Soil, Plant and Microbes for Healthy Plant Immunity and Sustainable Agricultural System

For the imperative working of soil environment, microorganisms have consistently been the predominant power in driving numerous procedures. These microorganisms are the principle key facilitators in supplement cycles related with plant root framework by conveying supplements and smothering pathogens, along these lines continuing plant well-being. Their stunning action and biochemical flexibility, particularly the underlying foundations of developing plants, show incredible potential for useful microorganisms, for the advancement of biotechnology applications, for the control of plants of wild plants and for expanded nourishment crops. In this section we audit the current writing on the cooperation between plants, microorganisms and soil. The rhizosphere is a field where the complex rhizosphere network, which incorporates both microflora and microfauna, speaks with pathogens and impacts the result of pathogen contamination. Various microorganisms are worthwhile to the plants which incorporate nitrogen-fixing microscopic organisms, endo-and ectomycorrhizal parasites and plant development advancing microbes and growths. A portion of the exercises incorporate complex frameworks of correspondence, in the event of advantageous interaction, for example, arbuscular minute beneficial interaction, a large number of years old, while others incorporate exudates from the root and different results of the rhizodeposition which are utilized as substrates for soil microorganisms. Since debasement of natural mixes in the rhizosphere is energized by the arrival of root articulations and compounds in plants, hence, biodegradation assumes a significant job, contingent upon the contact between the dirt and the defiled substances encompassing the plants. There is an impressive potential in the extended territory of microorganisms to supplant manufactured natural science. Since microbial exercises are a significant and touchy segment of soil, they are likewise great markers of soil issue and biological system. In any case, an all-encompassing utilization of microorganisms for bioindication purposes and economical methods for soil the board relies upon advances in understanding microbial nature, particularly on a field scale. Therefore, to improve the regenerative limit of soil biological systems for manageable farming, it is ideal to see how to expand the elements and capability of soil science. This will enable new uses of learning to address the difficulties of nuisance and infections and increment worldwide nourishment creation and practical cultivating.

Diversity of Microbes in Hot Springs and Their Sustainable Use

Underground aquifer speaks to enhanced microbial network because of its dynamic indigenous habitat and shifted geochemical parameters. Natural aquifer microbiome delivered numerous novel thermostable catalysts which have colossal mechanical just as biotechnological applications. Also, thinks about on underground aquifer microbiomes could give better learning about the starting point and advancement of soonest life, as they are viewed as most like the microorganisms possessing the crude Earth. They have been broadly contemplated all through the world for the most part by 16S rRNA-based clone libraries alongside culture-based techniques for disclosure of novel thermozymes. These thermostable compounds have a few favorable circumstances as they are steady at high temperatures (over 60 °C), endure wide scope of pH and have less odds of getting tainted by normal mesophilic microorganisms. Likewise, thermostable proteins have different favorable circumstances like dissolvable resilience, substrate selectivity and strength. In this part, an endeavor has been made to portray the major mechanically significant thermozymes like lipase, esterase, protease, cellulase, amylase and xylanase, generally detailed from microorganisms and archaea through culturable just as non-culturable methodologies. Numerous thermophilic microbes have additionally been appeared to create biosurfactants which can be a superior and less expensive option in contrast to synthetically combined ones and are being utilized in improved oil recuperation, for controlling oil slicks, and can likewise be utilized as wellsprings of anti-toxins against different nourishment borne pathogens. Greater part of the microorganisms that flourish in underground aquifers are non-culturable. In such manner, metagenomics has empowered the revelation of novel thermozymes which discover applications in biotechnological and pharmaceutical enterprises.

Microbes can degrade plastic!!

Plastic pollution is adversely affecting wildlife habitat and human .It is estimated that 1.1 - 8.8 MT plastic is dumped evey year in oceans and marine animals are harmed. Hence we and government need to take imdiate reduction efforts . For eg picture below is a huge floating device designed by Dutch scientists it is 3 times size of france
Here as the name suggestes “50 shades” representing the diversity and variety that can be used in microbial world. Be different species , different strains of microbes , different products , different methodology and different medias , All aspects have multiple varieties .
Different media list :
Instead of different media , industries also focus on using cheaper and efficient media like agricultural waste , Let's look into some of these media –
Animal residues – fat residues
Crops -Cassava , potatoes .
Dairy industry - curd , whey waste
Distillery industry -  effluents etc
Number of other cheap substrates can be used and one will be surprised that these medias are nothing new but wastes that one regularly see


There are number of cases where the product development was successful at laboratory level but scale up wasn't possible due to financial issues and lack of funding.
There's no use of developing a product and marketing if the production cost is high and no revenue for industries.
So eventually getting a cheaper substrates with proper C , N , growth factors becomes a critical parameter.
