Sažetak
Microplastics, as a particles size <5 mm, are cause of concern due to ubiquity presence at environment [1]. There are a lot of processes that are investigated in the purpose to remove these particles from the environment, including the bioremediation [2]. In this study, biodegradation of polystyrene (PS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) by bacterium Bacillus cereus according to Taguchi design of experiments were investigated. Seven factors (pH-value, temperature, size of microplastic particles, concentration of microplastics, agitation speed, optical density of bacterial suspension, and addition of glucose) were investigated. According to the obtained results (increasing CFU) show that tested bacterial culture have the ability to degrade PS and PVC.
