Petroleum-based plastic is widely used either in extensive industrial or daily applications. Polypropylene is mostly used and accumulate in large quantities in the ecosystem. Due to the polymeric structure and supplemented additives in the production process, resulted in rare biodegradation of polypropylene. In this study, the total bacteria were isolated from freshwater sediment within Phranakorn Si Ayutthaya Rajabhat University. The biosurfactant production has been observed in the bacteria isolate T2 after the Drop collapse test procedure. Polypropylene biodegradation efficiency was then investigated through the cultivation of the isolate T2 in the Brushnell Haas (BH) media composed of plastic sample for 30 days, yielding the plastic weight loss of 10.25%. In addition, the roughness of the plastic surface was occurred during SEM analysis provided evidence of bacterial biodegradation proceeded. According to the 16S rRNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, the bacteria isolate T2 was closely related to Fictibacillus phosphorivorans which had not previously been reported to polypropylene plastics biodegradation. Hence, the result would be a considerable development of bacterial strain through an appropriate process and technology regarding to the further remediating environment contaminated with plastics.
