Summary

Introduction

Nowadays plastic pollution has become a threat to global ecology and pollution arises from both terrestrial and marine sources. Hydrocarbons are susceptible to microbial attack and individual microorganisms are capable of degrading only a limited number of crude oil and depend on the presence of metabolically diverse microbial communities. Microbes present in the soil and their catabolic activity play a vital role in degrading soil hydrocarbon contaminants like petroleum, crude oils, etc.
