This study focuses on isolating and characterizing novel polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) depolymerase-producing bacteria for the efficient biodegradation of PHB. PHB, a promising biodegradable alternative to petroleum-based plastics, requires specific microbial enzymes for complete degradation. We identified Janibacter terrae from contaminated soil, demonstrating high PHB degradation efficiency via clear zone formation and enzymatic activity. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed increased surface roughness and porosity in degraded PHB films, while Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the cleavage of ester bonds, indicating enzymatic breakdown. The PHB depolymerase gene was successfully cloned and expressed in E. coli, yielding a functional 58 kDa enzyme. Optimal degradation conditions were 40°C, pH 8.0, and 96 h incubation, with 0.15% PHB concentration. Glucose and yeast extract enhanced enzyme activity, whereas heavy metals like Zn²⁺ and Co²⁺ slightly stimulated depolymerase production. These findings highlight Janibacter terrae as a potent PHB degrader, offering potential for sustainable plastic waste management. Further research on degradation metabolites and enzyme engineering could enhance industrial applications
