Abstract

Many studies have been conducted and developed on cellulose-based battery separator materials, including bacterial cellulose, which has characteristics like plant cellulose. This research aims to synthesize BC/Al2O3 composite and analyze its potential as a battery separator. The synthesis of the composite with the ex-situ method is to immerse BC from tofu liquid waste (fermentation time variation of 6, 7, and 8 days) into Al2O3 suspension. The characterization results showed that the immersion of Al2O3 in BC can increase porosity, electrolyte absorption, and conductivity, indicating that the composite has the potential to be used as a battery separator.

Abstract

Sponges are marine biota that makes up coral reefs that live on the bottom of the waters and have an important role in marine ecosystems. Sponges have bioactive components that have not been widely used by the community. This study aimed to analyze the content of secondary metabolites and the antibacterial activity of the sponge Stylotella sp. antibacterial activity test against Gram-negative (-) Escherichia coli and Gram-positive (+) Staphylococcus aureus was carried out using the good diffusion method. The results of antibacterial testing with various concentrations of 50, 100, and 150 ppm of the isolates showed that the zone of inhibition against E. coli was 11.3; 12; and 13 mm while for S. aureus was 12.3; 13; and 14 mm. The results of antibacterial testing with a concentration of 600 ppm of sponge extract showed an inhibition zone on E. coli and S. aureus in the amount of 13.3 and 14 mm, respectively. The test results showed that the sponge extract and isolate were in the intermediate category and were resistant to E. Coli bacteria. and S. Aureus

Abstract

Experimental corrosion tests and theoretical calculation were conduct to investigate the corrosion inhibition mechanism of black cumin seed extract for copper in 1 M H2SO4 solution. Electrochemical testing using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) method showed that BCS adsorbed to form a protective layer on the copper surface with high inhibition efficiency at 500 ppm concentration (73,35%). Increasing the BCS concentration up to 500 ppm causes the charge transfer resistance increase in the EIS measurement, while the corrosion current density measured by PDP decreases. The values of charge transfer resistance and corrosion current density at 500 ppm BCS are respectively 3687 .cm2 and 2.86 μA.cm-2. The BCS is a mixed inhibitor (anodic and cathodic) that adsorbs physically on the copper surface and obey the Langmuir isothermal adsorption model. Quantum chemical calculation and molecular dynamic simulation show that the studied BCS molecules adsorb strongly on the copper surface with parallel orientation mode. The methyl linoleate (MLIN) molecules from BCS produce the most stable adsorption energy of the other studied compound molecules as a result of molecular dynamic simulation.

Abstract

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a biodegradable natural polymer with high mechanical strength and non-toxicity. This biopolymer is widely used as a candidate in biomedical fields, such as drug delivery, wound healing, and filtration systems. However, BC lacks antibacterial activity which limits its use in biomedical applications. So, modification of BC-based composite is required. This study aims to examine the effects of modifying BC-based composites with fillers such as graphite (G) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) on the release of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) drugs. Adding fillers to BC can alter its physical and mechanical properties, reducing its porosity and swelling rate in acidic and alkaline mediums. The drug release of TCH from modified BC-based composites follows the Korsmeyer-Peppas and Hixson-Crowell kinetics models. Adding filler and TCH antibiotic to the composite enhances its antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with a significant inhibition zone. The results of the inhibition zone show that composites have the potential to be applied in biomedical fields, especially in transdermal patches.

Abstract

Molecular docking is a widely applied computational approach for predicting the binding modes of small-molecule ligands within the active site of a target protein. This research investigated the interactions of mutant levansucrase E342A from Bacillus subtilis (PDB ID: 1PT2) for β-D-fructofuranose and D-glucopyranose ligands. Using AutoDock Vina, the docking results indicated that β-D-fructofuranose exhibited a higher binding energy of –5.6 kcal/mol, compared to D-glucopyranose with a value of –5.4 kcal/mol, suggesting a more stable interaction. It was supported by the binding interaction analysis of β-D-fructofuranose, which established five hydrogen bonds, including direct interactions with the key catalytic residues Asp86 (2.76 Å) and Asp247 (2.64 Å) that are essential for the enzymatic reaction. In contrast, D-glucopyranose formed four hydrogen bonds, involving Arg360 (3.07 Å) and Glu340 (2.64 Å), with most residues contributing to structural stabilization rather than direct catalysis. These results confirm that β-D-fructofuranose plays a crucial role as a determinant of levansucrase activity in the biosynthesis of levan-type FOS, which are known to exhibit strong prebiotic activity.

Abstract

Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) Ungga Creative yang berlokasi di Desa Ungga, Lombok Tengah, merupakan UMKM yang berfokus pada produksi kain songket, mulai dari proses pewarnaan benang hingga tahap penenunan. UMKM ini menghadapi permasalahan berupa limbah cair hasil pewarnaan yang berpotensi mencemari lingkungan sekaligus meningkatkan biaya produksi. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan pengabdian ini dilaksanakan untuk memberikan solusi melalui penerapan teknologi pengolahan limbah tekstil berbasis pengendapan tawas dan filtrasi sederhana dengan memanfaatkan media berupa pasir, kain perca, zeolit, dan serabut kelapa. Metode kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini meliputi penyuluhan mengenai dampak limbah tekstil, pelatihan praktis, serta pendampingan implementasi teknologi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat menjadi lebih memahami bahaya limbah pewarna tekstil apabila terpapar ke lingkungan. Selain itu, teknologi filtrasi terbukti dapat diaplikasikan secara langsung pada skala UMKM dan mampu menurunkan intensitas warna serta tingkat kekeruhan limbah, sehingga air hasil olahan dapat digunakan kembali dalam proses pewarnaan. Masyarakat mitra juga mengalami peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan dalam pengelolaan limbah tekstil. Selain memberikan manfaat ekonomi berupa efisiensi penggunaan air, kegiatan ini turut mendukung keberlanjutan usaha dan berkontribusi pada pencapaianSDG 6 (air bersih dan sanitasi layak), SDG 12 (konsumsi dan produksi yang bertanggung jawab), serta SDG 13(penanganan perubahan iklim).
