Abstract
Polyethylene plastics are a persistent pollutant due to their distribution, availability, and serious impacts on coastal ecosystems. This study evaluated the degradation mechanism during the 60-day incubation period of LDPE film using the best actinomycetes action isolated from Balikpapan coastal sediment, Indonesia. Their colonies have unique morphological characteristics and potentially utilize LDPE plastic as carbon sources. The weight loss was recorded in isolates NACTB22–4; NACTB22–8; NACTB22–9; and consortium were 0,3522 ± 0,0440 %; 0,2565 ± 0,1019 %; 0,3486 ± 0,1552 %; and 0,5075 ± 0,0304 %, respectively. Actinomycetes colonization was evident in morphology surface changes of LDPE film analyzed using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and transmittance values changes in their functional group using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR).
期刊介绍:
Marine Pollution Bulletin is concerned with the rational use of maritime and marine resources in estuaries, the seas and oceans, as well as with documenting marine pollution and introducing new forms of measurement and analysis. A wide range of topics are discussed as news, comment, reviews and research reports, not only on effluent disposal and pollution control, but also on the management, economic aspects and protection of the marine environment in general.
