Abstract

Contamination of Cr(VI) is of global concern, whereas the innovation in wastewater treatment is required. Combination of bentonite and cellulose could produce an effective adsorbent to treat Cr(VI)-containing wastewater. The aim of this study was to investigate the use of composite bentonite/cellulose (B/Cell) to remove Cr(VI) in the aqueous media, in which the bentonite was collected from local sources. The Na-bentonite was firstly prepared before proceeding to cellulose embedment. The resultant B/Cell was characterized for its functional groups, morphology, and crystallinity. The Cr(VI) adsorption capacity and removal efficiency were determined based on batch adsorption. Our findings revealed that the B/Cell composite with a 4:1 bentonite-to-cellulose mass ratio exhibited the highest removal efficiency (85.68%) among tested formulations. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses confirmed the successful integration of cellulose and structural modification of bentonite. Optimal adsorption was achieved at pH 3, 180-min contact time, and 10 g/L adsorbent dosage. Isotherm modeling showed excellent fits for Sips (R2 = 0.9992) model, with maximum adsorption capacity reaching 192.56 mg/g. Kinetic analysis indicated pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2 = 0.959, qe = 1.018 mg/g), suggesting a chemisorption mechanism. These results highlight the potential of the B/Cell composite as an efficient and low-cost adsorbent for Cr(VI) removal from aqueous environments.

Abstract

Lactobacillus plantarum BP102 isolated from garlic bulb tissue has probiotic properties, including producing bacteriocin called plantaricin. This study aimed to detect the gene encoding bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus plantarum BP102, and to evaluate the bacteriocin activity at each stage of partial purification. After the end of the log phase of L. plantarum BP102 was determined, and the bacteriocin-encoding genes were checked by PCR technique. Partial purification of bacteriocin was elucidated including pH-neutralized cell-free-supernatant (CFS), precipitation using 80% of ammonium sulfate, and dialysis (cut-off 10 kDa), then the bacteriocin activity in every partial purification stage was evaluated. The molecular weight of plantaricin was estimated using SDS-PAGE analysis. Lactobacillus plantarum BP102 harbored the gene encoding plantaricin (pln) biosynthesis, namely plnEF and plnK genes. The activity of crude bacteriocin was inactivated by the presence of proteinase-K enzyme. The protein concentration was gradually decreased along with the purification process. The bacteriocin activity was demonstrated at each step of the purification process (CFS, precipitation, and dialysis) against Bacillus cereus by 9.23 ± 0.20 mm, 7.86 ± 0.15 mm, and 7.6 ± 0.10 mm, respectively; while, Escherichia coli by 10.3 ± 0.55 mm, 7.4 ± 0.1 mm, and 6.86 ± 0.45, respectively. The molecular weight of partially purified bacteriocin BP102 was found to be approximately 15.9 kDa. The overlaid part of the gel showed a slight inhibition against E. coli due to a low protein concentration. This bacteriocin purification process should be further optimized to improve the bacteriocin activity that could be useful for food preservation.

Abstract

Polyurethane (PU) membranes were prepared from red seaweed (Gracilaria sp.), castor oil, Toluene Diisocyanate (TDI), and added benzoyl peroxide (BPO) additive to improve membrane performance. The membrane is applied for the adsorption of ammonia in the solution. FT-IR analysis showed the presence of functional group N = C = O at a wavenumber of 2276 cm-1 and the O-H functional group at a wave number of 3373.50 cm-1, indicating the urethane group's formation has been formed during membrane polymerization. SEM images showed the morphological structure of the PU membrane, where the more open structure of the PU membrane by the addition of BPO. The DSC and TGA results showed the membrane's thermal stability with the addition of BPO. The PU membrane has an optimum contact time for ammonia uptake of 40 minutes. The adsorption isotherm of ammonia by the PU membrane follows the Freundlich isotherm model. The adsorption capacity of the PU membrane with the addition of BPO additives was 13.2 mg/g, which shows that the adsorption capacity of the PU-BPO membrane has a better performance than a membrane without the addition of the BPO. The PU-BPO membrane could be used as an alternative method of ammonia removal.

Abstract

A commercial saponin as biosurfactant can reduce the surface tension of water and increase of hydrocarbon degradation. However, this saponin can be toxic to some hydrocarbonoclastic bac-teria. This study aimed to obtain bacterial isolates that were tolerant and incapable to degrade saponin, and to identify them based on 16S rDNA sequence. Bacteria were isolated from petroleum contaminated soil in Wonocolo Village, Bojonegoro Regency, East Java, Indonesia. The soil samples were acclimated using Bushnell-Haas (BH) broth with 0.5% crude oil at room temperature for 3 weeks. The culture was spread onto BH agar incubated at 30°C for 7 days. The first screened, isolates were grown in nutrient broth with addition of sap-onin 0%, 8%, and 12% (v/v) then incubated at 30°C for three days. The bacterial cell density was measured using a spectrophotometer. Second screened, the isolates were grown on BH broth with addition of 0.5% saponin as a sole carbon source, and their cell densities were measured. The selected isolates were identified based on 16S rDNA sequences. Among 34 bacterial isolates, nine isolates were tol-erant to 12% saponin. Three bacterial isolates IHT1.3, IHT1.5, and IHT3.24 tolerant to high concentration of saponin and did not use this substance as growth nutrition. The IHT1.3, IHT1.5, and IHT3.24 isolates were identified as Ochrobactrum pseudogrignonense (99% similarity), Pseudomonas mendocina (99%), and Ochrobactrum pi-tuitosum; (97%), respectively. Those three selected isolates are good candidates as hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria to bioremediation of soil contaminated crude oil. However, the combined activity of bacteria and saponin to degrade hydrocarbon needs further study.

Abstract

In recent years, the development of probiotic-based fermented products with halal status has been a concern. The use of growth medium has relied on de Man Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) as a relatively expensive standard medium, and its halal status is still uncertain. Extensive research has been carried out to investigate the development of low-cost halal alternative media for the cultivation of probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB). This study aimed to develop a probiotic halal and low-cost culture medium using a tofu whey-based medium. This study used three tofu whey-based media - A (tofu whey 100%), B (tofu whey 94.5%, molasses 3%, skim milk 2.5%), C (tofu whey 92.5%, molasses 3%, cheese whey 2.5%, tomato extract 2%), and MRS broth as a standard medium. Bacterial populations, total sugars utilized, total lactic acids produced, low pH (2.0) tolerance, and high bile salt concentration (oxgall 1.5%) were assayed. The highest bacterial population after 48 h of incubation was shown by medium B compared to medium MRS (12.34 ± 0.87 and 11.48 ± 0.3 log CFU/mL). Total sugars utilized by 48.28 ± 2.89, 38.89 ± 6.94, 39.14 ± 4.24, and 76.00 ± 1.41 %; on the other hand, total lactic acids produced by 0.16 ± 0.12, 0.03 ± 0.04, 0.31 ± 0.03, and 2.25 ± 1.48 % in A, B, C, and MRS, respectively. Probiotic tolerance at low pH and the presence of bile salts of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum D4 consistently showed a high survival rate in medium B compared to MRS. Based on these results, the components and proportions used in medium B were suitable for the growth of L. plantarum D4 as a halal probiotic starter candidate.

Abstract

Biosistem yang digambarkan pada hasil observasi di sini adalah suatu keadaan faktor biotik dan abiotik pada pertanian apel yang tidak terbatas pada suatu nilai yang tetap. Data  yang diperoleh dari tiga tahapan penelitian ini diharapkan dapat dipergunakan sebagai informasi yang mendukung upaya konsevasi pertanian apel. Tahapan penelitian tersebut meliputi evaluasi nutrisi makro tanah dan tanaman, formulasi pengomposan kotoran sapi diperkaya (menggunakan bakteri indigenus) dan eksplorasi tanaman penutup tanah pertanian apel. Kandungan beberapa nutrisi makro untuk tanah pertanian apel Bumiaji menunjukkan nilai rata-rata yang berada pada kisaran sedang dan tinggi. Hasil analisis makro nutrisi daun apel yang kemudian dibandingkan dengan standar menurut Utah Fertilizer Guide menunjukkan bahwa makro nutrisi N, P, Ca berada pada status normal, K berada pada status kurang dan Mg berlebih. Ketersediaan nutrisi di tanah dapat dipelihara dengan penambahan kompos. Kotoran sapi yang diperkaya dengan bakteri indigen mampu mendekomposisi kotoran sapi dalam waktu 2-3 minggu. Proses dekomposisi kotoran sapi berlangsung lebih cepat pada pemberian bakteri indigenus yang mempunyai kemampuan selulolitik dan sekaligus proteolitik serta amilolitik apabila dibandingkan kontrol yang tanpa pemberian inokulum bakteri. Pada pertanian apel di Poncokusumo, kondisi lahan dengan sistem penyiangan cs (cukup sering) dan sj (sangat jarang) tampak lebih stabil daripada ss (sering sekali) berdasarkan nilai ID (indek diversitas), DR (dominansi relatif) dan INP (indek nilai penting). Hal ini diperjelas oleh nilai biomassa tanaman. Biomassa yang lebih tinggi menyebabkan suhu tanah yang lebih rendah karena jumlah TPT yang banyak mempunyai konsekuensi mengandung banyak air pada jaringannya.
