Abstract

Identifying the most effective material with antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a challenging task considering the rising concerns about drug resistance. Various experiments through in vitro and in vivo studies to obtain antibacterial agents using abundant and easily available raw material sources have been conducted. Therefore, this study aimed to acquire semiconducting nanoparticle material derived from purebred chicken eggshell waste that could effectively function as an antibacterial agent. The waste treatment was carried out using a top-down method applying the thermal decomposition method with calcination temperatures of 700 and 800 ºC for 30 hours. XRD analysis results showed CaO as a major phase and this was further supported by Rietveld calculation. The size of the crystalline phases obtained ranged from 10–45 nm, while FTIR analysis showed the appearance of CaO bond at a wave number of 715.65 cm-1. Furthermore, SEM analysis showed a rough folded particle surface with a pore percentage of 48.20%. Based on the UV-Vis DRS analysis results, chicken eggshell powder had band gap energy characteristics of 2.07, 2.74, 3.71, and 5.96 eV for sample B, as well as 4.60 and 5.82 eV for sample C. Activation of purebred chicken eggshell powder as antibacterial was performed both qualitatively and quantitatively using photocatalytic and non-photocatalytic methods. Qualitatively, both samples showed antibacterial activity, with a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 1,000 µg/mL.

Abstract

This study reports the first isolation of an Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) strain, closely related to Enterobacter hormaechei (99.86% 16S rRNA identity), associated with bacterial blight symptoms in rice in Lampung, Indonesia. Acknowledging 16S rRNA limitations within ECC, species identification is reported cautiously, while pathogenicity profile fulfilled Modified Koch's Postulates. To address chemical bactericide limitations, we developed sustainable multiphase nanoparticles from chicken eggshell waste through mechanical and thermal decomposition approaches. The produced nanoparticles were characterized using XRD, TEM, FTIR, SEM-EDS, PSA, and UV-DRS. The results showed that the nanoparticles consisting of Ca(OH)2, CaO, and β-tricalcium phosphate, with a dimension of 11–31 nm (XRD) and 20–23 nm (TEM). The FT-IR/EDS data confirmed OH⁻, Ca, O, and P elements, while UV-DRS showed a bandgap energy of 5.96 eV. Descriptive statistical analysis (n=6) evaluated antibacterial activity via disk diffusion (20 µg/disk) against the ECC isolate, compared to ampicillin sulbactam (SAM 20). Nanoparticles yielded a mean inhibition zone of 10.06±0.02 mm for responsive replicates, demonstrating moderate activity. Within the zones, bacterial cells showed morphological damage, likely caused by Ca²⁺ and OH⁻ release, inducing membrane disruption and oxidative stress. Furthermore, spatially graded element distribution (Ca, O, P) and β-TCP as a controlled release matrix support sustained bioactivity. These findings reveal eggshell-derived nanoparticles as a promising, economical, and environmentally friendly antibacterial agent for sustainable rice disease management.
