Sažetak
Microplastics (MPs) attract ever-increasing attention due to environmental concerns. MPs were defined as plastic particles <5 mm in size, which can be formed from the degradation of larger plastic consumer products and the production of plastic debris in industrial processes. These particles are mostly made from polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Bioremediation has been highlighted as a promising tool for removal MPs from water. Bioremediation is a cost-effective treatment that involves degradation of pollutants by microorganisms. In this study, bioremediation of water polluted with MPs, PS and PVC, by bacterium Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas alcaligenes were investigated. The results show that Bacillus cereus degraded PS and PVC better than Pseudomonas alcaligenes, and PS better than PVC.
