Abstract
Rubber a natural polymer, which is widely used, is degraded at a very slow rate in the environment. This is leading to accumulation of rubber waste throughout the world and poses so many environmental problems. This experiment is an attempt to isolate and identify to increase the efficiency of rubber degradation in the nature. Various soils contaminated with tyre waste were collected along with the degraded form from various places of Vellore district of Tamilnadu. The samples were serially diluted and cultured in selective media in petriplates followed by Grams staining and biochemical tests identified that the isolate is Bacillus species is also a strong potent degrader of rubber and its products.
