Abstract

High butanol demand for transportation was support to butanol development. Exploration of butanol producing bacteria using genome comparison and biogeography give role to butanol industrialization. Objective of this research are butanol production, genome comparison and haplotype analysis of butanol producing bacteria from Ranu Pani Lake sediment using 16S rDNA sequences. Highest butanol concentrations were resulted by Paenibacillus polymyxaRP 2.2 isolate (10.34 ± 0.00 g.l-1) then Bacillusmethylotrophicus RP 3.2 and Bacillusmethylotrophicus RP 7.2 isolate (10.11 ± 0.01 g.l-1 and 9.63 ± 0.01 g.l-1). Number of bases (T, C, A, G) of group 1 are similar, but different with group 2. Least G+C content is Clostridium saccharobutylicum Ox29 (51.35%) and highest is Bacillus methylotrophicus RP 7.2. Conserve region (1044 bp) of 16S rDNA higher then variative region (367 bp). The number of 319 bp is PIS whereas single tone as much as 48 bp. There are 17 conserves sequences. All of butanol producing bacterial sequences was clustered to 8 haplotype. Based on source of bacteria, there are three group of haplotype. Group A was isolated from Asia, group B was isolated from America and group C was isolated from Europe.

Abstract

Micro- and nanoplastic pollution possess a global threat and cause a future problem and needs greater attention. Its pollution is also exacerbated recently by the use of abundance of plastic polymers in efforts to prevent and handle COVID-19 pandemic at the global scale. This review covered the major concerns about the characteristic, effect and bioremediation of micro- and nanoplastics of post COVID-19. Based on size, microplastic is described as debris particles smaller than 5 mm whereas, nanoplastic is referred to any particles smaller than 100 nm. Micro- and nanoplastic are easily ingested by many aquatic organisms at different trophic levels. This ingestion caused negative health impacts to all living organisms. Microplastic direct effect on living organism for example mechanical injury, false satiation, declined growth, promoted immune response, energy loss, disrupted enzyme activity and production, decreased fecundity, production of oxidative stress, and mortality. Nanoplastic could enter the circulatory system and caused negative effects on the cellular and molecular levels. Bioremediation of microplastic by magnoliophyta, bacteria, fungus and algae on several polymer forms was previously reported, however, not many on nanoplastic biodegradation. Therefore, current review will focus on the characteristics, effect and bioremediation effort of micro- and nanoplastic.
