Abstract

Foodborne bacteria cause food spoilage, usually Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Thus, synthetic preservatives are employed in food preservation to prevent food spoilage caused by microorganisms. Excessive use of synthetic preservatives can cause disease. Bio-oil has become a natural preservative because of its high phenolic content. However, bio-oil still requires purification because the initial bio-oil (grade 3) still contains carcinogenic compounds that are dangerous for consumption. Therefore, this study aims to determine the components of the bio-oil compound after purification and its effectiveness as an antibacterial. Durian shell (DS) is pyrolyzed in a heating reactor without oxygen at a temperature of 330–600ºC (flow rate 6ºC/minute) with a 2-3 cm material size. Furthermore, bio-oil purification includes stages of filtration using activated zeolite, fractional distillation at 70–200ºC (grade 2), and filtration using activated charcoal (grade 1). Bio-oil purification includes stages of filtration using active zeolite and activated charcoal (grade 2), and fractional distillation at a temperature of 150–200ºC (grade 1). Based on Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, grade 2 and grade 1 contain the major compounds 1,4-dimethyl-1h-imidazole and acetic acid. The research showed that bio-oil grades 1 and 2, when used at a 30% concentration, exhibit antibacterial strong effects against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. These findings suggest that bio-oil grades 1 and 2 could be valuable natural preservatives.

Abstract

Soil bacteria from tropical environments play a significant role in resolving various environmental issues, including biodegradation. Exploratory research on biodiversity is crucial to develop and harness the potential of different types of soil bacteria that are highly abundant. The bacterial diversity in landfills is typically high due to the decomposition of organic and inorganic waste, creating a favorable medium for the growth and development of soil bacteria. This study aims to assess the candidates of xenobiotic degrading indigenous bacteria from the Probolinggo City landfill using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) method. The research stages include: 1) sampling, 2) isolation of genomic DNA from samples using the ZymoBIOMICS DNA MiniPrep Kit from Zymo Research, 3) amplification of isolated DNA with primers 16S 27F – 1429R, 4) sequencing the results of DNA amplification with NGS, 5) downstream analysis of the results using software Pavian Krona Tools, and 6) narrative analysis review to identify the candidates of xenobiotic degrading indigenous bacteria. The results show that soil samples from the Probolinggo City landfill exhibited a high diversity of bacterial communities. Based on NGS analysis, 2400 bacterial species were identified, comprising 56 genera, 17 orders, 4 classes, and 4 phyla, with respective abundances of Proteobacteria (70%), Firmicutes (15%), Planctomycetes (2%), and Cyanobacteria (0,3%). Based on the narrative analysis review, several bacteria in the Probolinggo City landfill exhibited potential as: 1) polypropylene-degrading bacteria, including Bacillus cereus, B. licheniformis and B. thuringiensis. 2) styrofoam degrading bacteria, namely Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus firmus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 3) total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) reducing bacteria, including Bacillus megaterium. 4) pesticide degrading bacteria Profenofos and Chlorantraniliprole, including Bacillus stearothermophilus. and 5) tannic acid degrading bacteria, including Pantoea dispersa. These results indicate that the Probolinggo City landfill is a good habitat for various xenobiotic-degrading bacteria, then the isolation of specific bacteria can be designed using an appropriate selective medium.

Abstract

Synthetic plastics are one of the more significant contributors to waste in the environment. Bioplastic is a type of plastic that is environmentally friendly because it is made from biomass. In this study. brown macroalgae. Padina australis. is one of the potential raw materials found in large quantities in Indonesian waters and used to produce bioplastics with filtration technique. The aim of this study was to synthesis bioplastics using P. australis alginate with glycerol plasticizer.The alginate macroalgae were mixed with glycerol as a plasticizer in the following proportions: 1:15. 1:25. 2:15. and 2:25. with the quality determined through tensile strength measurements. water solubility. and degradation time. On day 12. the tensile strength of P. australis bioplastic was 3.24-7.33 MPa. the water solubility was 61.79-65.19%. and the biodegradability rate was 0.1-20.0%. When the macroalgae alginate and glycerol formulation was 2:25. the best bioplastic film produced had a tensile strength of 7.33 MPa and a water solubility of 61.79%. which was lower than the Indonesia National Standard number 7818/2016 for bioplastic products. P. australis. however. has the potential to be a promising alternative bioplastic product that contributes to the reduction of petroleum-based plastic pollution in the environment. Furthermore. as a preliminary study. it will be improved to meet industrial standards or find the products that match these characteristics.

Abstract

High consumption of coal as a source of electrical energy in Indonesia has resulted in piles of waste from coal burning, namely fly ash, which can damage the environment and harm health. Fly ash contains main oxides, namely silica (SiO2) and alumina (Al2O3), whose components are similar to zeolite, so they can be synthesized into zeolite-like material (ZLM) which can be used as an adsorbent for heavy metal Ni2+. Therefore, this research discussed the characterization of manganese-oxide-coated-zeolite (MOCZ) from fly ash waste as a heavy metal adsorbent. The research procedure consisted of preparation, purification, and activation stage of fly ash to obtain fly ash that is free from impurities, the stage of making sodium silicate and sodium aluminate, and zeolite synthesis. The resulting zeolite was then coated with manganese oxide to expand the surface area of the zeolite and increase the ability of zeolite to adsorb heavy metal Ni2+. The research results showed that fly ash waste that was coated with manganese oxide can adsorb heavy metal Ni2+. The adsorption of the Ni2+ metal ion solution by zeolite with MOCZ modification is in line with the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm.

Abstract

Two xanthone derivatives, garciniaxanthone E (1) and 12b-Hydroxy-des-D-garcigerrin A (2) have been isolated from ethyl acetate extract of the tree bark of Garcinia dulcis. The Ultraviolet (UV), Infrared (IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and Mass Spectrometry (MS) data analysis elucidated the structure of the isolated compounds. This study represents the first evaluation of compounds 1 and 2 in terms of their efficacy against receptor tyrosine kinases. The results showed that compound 1 exhibited weak activity with 12% inhibition against Insulin Receptor (InsR), while compound 2 showed moderate activity with 29% inhibition against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). A molecular docking study targeting EGFR-TK suggests that the hydroxyl group at C-4 on compound 2 can be demolished to raise the inhibitory activity in future research.

Abstract

Glucose oxidase (GOX) from Aspergillus niger catalyzes the oxidation of β-D-glucose to δ-gluconolactone and hydrogen peroxide, making it valuable for industrial applications. Intracellular GOX exhibits higher activity than its extracellular counterpart. This study focuses on enhancing the extracellular production of GOX through recombinant DNA technology. This study aimed to reconstruct the GOX gene by adding XhoI sites at both ends, inserting a glu-ala-glu-ala spacer at the 5' end, and introducing an XbaI site at the 3' end. These modifications facilitate the cloning of the GOX-Xho gene into the pTA2 vector and its subsequent ligation into the pPICZαB expression vector, allowing for extracellular production of GOX through fusion with the α-mating factor (α-MF) signal peptide. The GOX-Xho gene was successfully amplified, cloned, and characterized. The pTA2-GOX-Xho recombinant plasmid was verified through sequencing and restriction analysis, confirming the present and correct orientation of the 1797 bp GOX-Xho gene. However, sequencing revealed several point mutations, necessitating further computational analysis to predict their impact on the enzyme's structure and function before recombinant protein expression.

Abstract

Rhodamine B is a widely used dye in the textile sector. However, the wastewater produced during the dyeing process presents a notable source of pollution, contaminating water and posing a threat to aquatic ecosystems due to its presence in liquid waste. Photocatalysis is a technique for breaking down toxic textile dye waste a semiconductor as a catalyst, valued for its high sensitivity and eco-friendly nature. In this research, zinc oxide particles were synthesized via a green synthesis approach using precipitation, employing natural capping agents from banana peel and tea leaf to degrade the synthetic dye of rhodamine B. The catalyst material was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance (UV-DRS). The photodegradation performance of rhodamine B was determined under UV light exposure for 3 hours. The XRD spectra of ZnO show the specific peaks of 2θ at 31.8°, 34.5°, and 36.3° with a crystallinity value of around 79.50%. The SEM result shows that the morphology of ZnO is in cotton-like form with a minimum band gap of 3.17 eV. The cotton-like ZnO particles demonstrated superior photodegradation efficiency for Rhodamine B, achieving 61.8%, compared to 47.9% with pure ZnO. It suggests that synthesizing ZnO particles with banana peels and tea leaf extracts boosts photodegradation efficiency by up to 20% compared to pure ZnO. This research highlights the potential of utilizing eco-friendly and sustainable methods as a greener approach for reducing waste in environmental applications.

Abstract

This research aims to develop a sensitive and selective nonenzymatic electrochemical sensor for glucose detection using a glassy carbon electrode modified with platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) decorated on reduced graphene oxide (RGO). The structural properties and surface morphology of PtNPs/RGO composite were characterized using Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques were employed to investigate glucose measurements in human urine samples. The developed sensor shows an increasing anodic peak of glucose with a linear response at a concentration range from 10 to 1000 µM, with a detection limit of 5 µM. The proposed sensor also demonstrated good reproducibility, indicated by the value of relative standard deviation (%RSD) of 3.9%, and maintained its current response over seven consecutive measurements. Moreover, the proposed sensor exhibited high selectivity for glucose detection against several potential interferences, such as potassium (K+), chloride (Cl−), magnesium (Mg2+), ascorbic acid, dopamine, and urea, with recovery values of 96-102%, which are acceptable within the analytical range. Furthermore, this proposed sensor successfully detected glucose in human urine samples, and their concentrations were not significantly different when measured with a commercial glucose sensor.

Abstract

Modified activated carbon (MAC) has been synthesized and characterized to enhance mercury (Hg) removal from natural gas. MAC was modified by impregnating it into KCl, Na2S, and KI to introduce Cl-, S-, and I- elements. SEM-EDX, FTIR, and SAA were used to characterize the AC and MAC. The isotherm and adsorption capacity were studied using the mercury gas standard. The results of SEM-EDX analysis show that the impregnation method is proven to produce MAC containing elements Cl, S, and I with mass % of 2.78% Cl, 0.76% S, and 39.60% I. The surface area is 421.91 m2/g, the total pore volume is 0.386825 cc/g, and the average pore size is 1.83369 nm. Group functions are -OH, C=C, C=O, C-O, and vibrations at the wavelength number 617.81 cm-1, which the impregnation agent forms. The mechanism for absorbing mercury gas into MAC follows the Freundlich isotherm model, with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.996. The adsorption capacity on MAC increased 57 times compared to unmodified activated carbon (AC) from 5540.60 to 315730.64 ng/g, with an efficiency maximum of 100%. The MAC has been proven to enhance mercury adsorption from natural gas with an efficiency of 78.6%.
