Abstract
The large quantity and persistence of PET (poly (ethylene
terephthalate) plastic wastes in the environment may disturb the weak
ecological balance of the earth. Eco friendly technologies need to be devised
to solve this problem. In the present study usage of bakery yeast inoculated
with PET bottle plastic in laboratory conditions for period of one month after
that bioflim formation was analysis by SEM. The observation of present study
reveal appearance of cluster and mass colonization of Bakery yeast on surface
of PET plastics when compared control PET flakes. FTIR spectral analysis depict
that new (2625 cm-1 C-H bond stretching and 1036 cm-1 C-O
bond stretching) functional group is appeared in yeast inoculate PET flakes
when compared untreated ones.
