Abstract

Biofilm is the dominant habitat for aquatic microbes that can grow in various aquatic conditions, including environments with extreme conditions. One of the extreme conditions found in aquatic ecosystems is a hypersaline environment. As part of aquatic biological resources, microbes can also live in this environment. However, although it is the predominant habitat of microbes, biofilms in hypersaline environments have yet to be widely explored. Understanding biofilms in hypersaline environments, especially salt ponds, will increase knowledge about microbial biofilms. The knowledge can open opportunities for using microbes as aquatic resources, such as aquaculture or environmental biotechnology. This study analyzed microbial abundance in biofilms and water in hypersaline environments. The water is from salt ponds on the South Coast of Malang Regency, Indonesia, with different salinity levels (2%, 25%, and 40%). Microbial abundance was analyzed using the culture method using several culture media (Modified Nutrient Agar, Modified Total Plate Agar, Mannitol Salt Agar, and Casein Medium Agar). The substrate for biofilm growth is HDPE, often used as a bottom coating for salt ponds and shrimp ponds. Moreover, this study also analyzed water quality parameters (pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, total dissolved solids, temperature) during the biofilms' forming process. The results of this study indicate that the abundance of good microbes that grow in the biofilm or the water around the biofilm is strongly influenced by the type of media used for culturing. The main composition of the most influential media is peptone. The density of microbes in the biofilm is hundreds to thousands of times higher than that in the surrounding water. The results of this study also show that the presence of microbes in both water and biofilm affects the water quality properties in hypersaline environments. Keywords: aquatic ecosystem, biofilm, hypersaline, microbial ecology.

Abstract

Salt is an essential commodity that concerns the livelihood of society and cannot be substituted by other commodities. East Java is the largest salt-producing center in Indonesia. The results of community salt production often still have NaCl content 95%. To achieve salt production results with NaCl quality 96%, research, and technology development are needed to eliminate impurities and improve the quality of the salt produced. One of the technologies being developed is the utilization of reservoirs and raw water filters. This research aims to analyze the application of reservoir and filter technology in improving the quality and quantity of salt production on the South and North Coasts of East Java using greenhouse salt tunnels. The results of this study indicate that the dynamics of environmental parameters and the quality of raw water on the South and North Coasts of East Java affect the results of the salt production process. The quality and quantity tests of salt with reservoir and filter application on the South Coast of East Java show NaCl quality of 98.13%, water content of 5.44%, and whiteness presentation value of salt 80.5% with production quantity of 7 kg/m². In trials on the North Coast of East Java, the salt quality was 98.25%, water content was 5.37%, and the whiteness percentage value of salt was 79%, with a salt production quantity of 7.8%. This research indicates that reservoir and filter technology can improve the quality and quantity of salt according to the characteristics of the South Coast and North Coast of East Java.

Abstract

Halophilic microorganisms include extremophiles that can live and develop in a hypersaline environment. Biofilm, as microecology, consists of a collection of microorganisms attached to a surface, forming an Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS) matrix. This study aims to analyze the protein profile and functional groups of biofilms that grow in hypersaline environments. The method used in this study is the SDS PAGE test to diagnose protein profiling and FTIR to analyze biofilm functional groups. The samples used to grow the biofilm came from salt ponds with different NaCl levels, namely 2%, 25%, and 40%. The results showed that each NaCl treatment had different functional groups in the biofilm samples. In the 2% NaCl treatment, there were peaks with solid intensity at the wavenumber 1100 cm-1, indicating the carboxylic acid functional group. In the 25% NaCl treatment, peaks with solid intensity at wavenumber 2250 cm-1 indicate the isocyanate functional group. In the 40% NaCl treatment, there were peaks with solid intensity at wavenumber 860 cm-1, indicating the alkene functional group. The protein analysis for each treatment shows the presence of pyruvate kinase protein in the biofilm with 2% NaCl. The 25% NaCl biofilm sample contained avidin protein, and the 40% NaCl biofilm sample contained tyrosine protein.

Abstract

Salt is an essential commodity for both domestic use and industrial applications, with East Java Province in Indonesia playing a crucial role in national salt production. Traditional salt production methods, primarily based on natural evaporation, face challenges due to seasonal factors, particularly during the rainy season. This study investigates the environmental conditions affecting the salt crystallization process in the Greenhouse Salt Tunnel (GST) technology. Field experiments were conducted at two sites, Tuban Regency on the North Coast and Malang Regency on the South Coast, where key parameters such as air temperature, water temperature, humidity, wind speed, and evaporation rates were monitored three times daily. The findings showed that water temperatures within the GST ranged from 31 to 38°C on the North Coast and 26 to 38°C on the South Coast. Wind speeds varied between 1.5–2.4 m/s on the North Coast and 0.4–1.0 m/s on the South Coast, while humidity levels ranged from 54 to 80%. The GST system achieved a salt production rate of 6.4 kg/m² with NaCl content exceeding 94%, a significant improvement over traditional methods, which yield less than 70% NaCl. These results demonstrate that GST technology enhances both the quality and quantity of salt production, though design modifications are needed to address the dynamic coastal environment.
