Plastic material is any of a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic solids that are moldable. Plastics are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass, but they often contain other substances. They are usually synthetic, most commonly derived from petrochemicals, but many are partially natural. Environmental pollution by the disposal of non-degradable conventional plastics is a fast-growing problem worldwide, especially in India. Nowadays, plastics are replacing by other constructional materials like glass, wood, metal in numerous applications. In this study, there has been considerable interest in the development and production of biodegradable polymer tosolve the current problem of pollution caused by the continuous use of synthetic polymer from seaweed associated Bactria. . Based on the dry weight of total biopolymer content, the strain SBT 09 showed maximum accumulation and selected for optimizing at different pH, temperature, salinity, carbon, and nitrogen source and the peak time of PHB accumulation. Based on the biochemical tests, the strain SBT 09 was found. The optimum pH, temperature, and salinity were found to be 7, 300C, and 5%. The peak time of PHB accumulation was found to be 36hrs. The best carbon and nitrogen source was found to be sucrose and (NH4)2 HPO4. The selected strain was mass cultured using the optimized media and PHB was extracted by solvent extraction.
