The present study deals with the isolation and growth kinetics of Pseudomonas aeruginosa .The plastic debris was
collected from the coast of Karachi, Pakistan and was used as a source of isolating microorganism having ability to
degrade plastic. Pseudomonas aeruginosa has a wide catabolic potential, commonly known as a species of
bioremediation and a versatile toxic organic compound degrader. During this research plastic was degraded using the
mineral salt medium. Before entering into the growth inhibition phase, bacterial strains show a relationship (what type
of relationship?) between plastic concentration and bacterial growth. As the plastic concentration increased the
generation time (g) was increased and growth specific rate (µ) decreases. The hydrophobicity of isolated bacteria was
evaluated by Salt Aggregation Test (SAT).The results depict that the stain were hydrophobic and were able to grow on
hydrocarbon i.e n-heptane and Xylene. Scaning Electron microscope (SEM) analysis revealed that the strains were
exhibiting adherence on plastic.
