PHB is a unique intracellular polymer that accumulates under stress conditions and in the presence of an increased carbon source. Synthetic plastics, which bring many disadvantages, especially the environmental damage, are being considered and replaced by bioplastics. Bioplastics like PHB are considered to be one of the best alternatives due to their efficient biodegradability and several other effective properties. PHB-producing microorganisms were isolated by collecting soils from three different areas to compare the production of PHB in these soil samples. The isolates obtained were cultured on Minimal Davis Agar and then primary screening was performed using by Sudan Black staining. PHB production was confirmed by performing FTIR and GCMS analysis. The FTIR result showed that only organisms collected from organic soil samples showed the presence of PHB exhibiting the bands representing C=O, C-O, CH3, CH2, C-H and C-C stretches. The GC-MS spectrum of methanolized PHB was confirmed by a distinct peak corresponding to 2-oxetanone, 4-methylene, also known as 2-butynoic acid
