AB  - Biodegradation is the most promising environmentally sustainable method that 
      offers a significant opportunity with minimal negative environmental consequences 
      while searching for solutions to this global problem of plastic pollution that 
      has now spread to almost everywhere in the entire world. In the present work, 
      HDPE-degrading bacterial strain CGK112 was isolated from the fecal matter of a 
      cow. The bacterial strain was identified as Micrococcus luteus CGK112 by 16S rRNA 
      sequence coding analysis. Significant weight loss, i.e., 3.85% was recorded in 
      the HDPE film treated with strain CGK112 for 90 days. The surface micromorphology 
      was examined using FE-SEM, which revealed spectacular bacterial colonization as 
      well as structural deformation. Furthermore, the EDX study indicated a 
      significant decrease in the atomic percentage of carbon content, whereas FTIR 
      analysis confirmed functional groups alternation as well as an increase in the 
      carbonyl index which can be attributed to the metabolic activity of biofilm. Our 
      findings provide insight into the capacity of our strain CGK112 to colonize and 
      utilize HDPE as a single carbon source, thus promoting its degradation.
