Plastics accumulate in the environment and gradually break into microplastics (MPs, size below 5 mm). It poses a serious threat to the environment and human health. In this study, a strain LC-2 capable of degrading polyethylene (PE) was isolated from plastic films collected from the Licun Estuary of Qingdao. It was identified as Bacillus aquimaris by using a combination of molecular biological technique with morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics. After the strain was isolated, it was cultured in a liquid medium for 28 days with PE as the sole carbon source. The polyethylene was subsequently separated and examined with a scanning electron microscopy, a contact angle test, a thermogravimetric analysis and a Fourier transform infrared spectrum analysis. The results showed that the weight loss of PE was about 9% after the degradation, with apparent morphologic changes on the surface of PE. It was also showed that the hydrophobicity of PE became smaller, with surface oxidation to produce −C=O functional groups. These evidences are sufficient to prove that the strain LC-2 can degrade PE.
