The deleterious effects of synthetic plastics and their products have become a major concern for researchers. Bioplastics or plastics produced by the microorganism is a promising replacement for the conventional synthetic plastics. Polyhydroxyalkanoate a biologically produced biodegradable substance that has characteristic properties similar to that of conventional plastics. Polyhydroxyalkanoates are secondary metabolites of microorganisms which are produced under stressful conditions. In this work, four different samples were collected. These strains were then morphologically and biochemically characterized. The strains producing polyhydroxyalkanoates from each sample were identified by Sudan Black staining. A 48-hour culture of these strains was harvested and alkali lysis method was used to isolate polyhydroxyalkanoate and polyhydroxyalkanoate was quantified. Sample 2 had the highest polyhydroxyalkanoate accumulation % (95.65%). The method used for the production and isolation of polyhydroxyalkanoate was cost effective and ecofriendly .
