The insect larvae Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis have recently been researched as a nutritious food source and concentrated on their environmental impacts. Therefore, their gut microbiota has been studied to elucidate their effects and roles on the environment. Of the abundance of bacterial genus identified based on the 16S rRNA genes from isolate...

In the effort of isolating novel microbial species, the strain PL0132T was isolated from a fallen leaf under fresh water at a stream, which glided when grown on a tap water medium (without nutrients). The strain was determined to be Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, and rod-shaped, which grew optimally at 25 °C, pH 6–7, and the strain tolerates 1% (...

Microalgal harvesting has still been a challenge to investigators who take their investiment into microalgal production. The cost for microalgal downstream processing is as high as 20% of the total production of biodiesel. Among hundreds of curent methods of biomass harvesting, autoflocculation and bacteria-based aggregation are still being researc...

The extensive usage of synthetic fungicides against fungal diseases has caused adverse impacts on both human and agricultural crops. Therefore, the current study aims to establish a new bacterium 7WMA2, as a biocontrol agent to achieve better antifungal results. The strain 7WMA2 was isolated from marine sediment, displayed a broad spectrum of sever...

Unlabelled: Soy isoflavone extracts are widely researched for their distinctive potential in contributing to various functional foods. The research work focuses on testing the toxicity of purified soy isoflavone extracts in mice models. With an agreement of the animal ethics, acute toxicity is firstly used to screen the effects of test compounds i...

Rice straw residue management is still facing many problems worldwide. This study used two environmentally friendly methods to investigate the effects of rice straw burning activity on water-extracted carbohydrate content in long-term paddy soil. Soil samples were collected at a depth within 0–15 cm at the paddy field before and after burning rice...

Co-culture of microalgae and microorganisms, supported with the resulting synergistic effects, can be used for wastewater treatment, biomass production, agricultural applications and etc. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the role of Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) in tolerance against the harsh environment of seafood wastewater, at which thes...

This study investigates the effects of rice straw and potential nitrogen fixing Bacillus subtillis (Bacillus sp.) isolated from seafood wastewater on carbohydrate- and nitrogen mineralization from a long-term rice paddy soil by four weeks anaerobic incubation. Soil collected at the depth of 0–15 cm from a long-term rice paddy cultivation, and set u...

Bacillus species have been well‐documented as bacteria isolated from soil with primary characteristics that were identified and applied to agriculture, wastewater treatment, pharmaceutic, and human life. This study focuses on the characterization of Bacillus strains isolated from a particular resource, which is seafood wastewater, and to list which...

The present research aims to study the long-term impacts of soil extractable carbohydrate content from the conversion of forest to paddy field, using three environmentally friendly methods: ultrasound assist (37 Hz/ 30 min), hot water (80°C/ 4 h), and cold water (25°C/ 30 min). Soil samples collected at the depth of 0 - 15 cm from natural forest, r...

The present study focused on the development of a new method to determine the lag phase of Lactobacillus in breast milk which was attained during the 1st, 3rd, and 6th month (M1, M3, and M6). The colonies’ phylogenetic analysis, derived from the 16S rRNA gene sequences, was evaluated with genus Lactobacillus pentosus and achieved a similarity value...

Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS) production in relation to carbohydrate and protein compositions is an important key in wastewater bio-treatment and microalgal harvesting. The influence of microalgal cultivation conditions on EPS production is well-documented in previous studies, but there continues to be a research gap that involves the eff...

This study focuses on the optimization of isoflavones extraction from soybeans cultivated in Quangnam province, Vietnam, using aqueous ethanol solvent extraction. The total isoflavone concentration was determined with six isoflavone standards including daidzin, glycitin, genistin, daidzein, glycitein, and genistein by Reversed Phase HPLC method. Th...

Algae biorefinery is gaining much attention for the sustainable production of value-added products (e.g., biofuels, protein supplements etc.) globally. The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between lipid production and bacteria growth by an initial microalgae Chlorella vulgaris density culture in seafood wastewater effluent (SWE)....

Microalgae cultivation in wastewater for many purposes has been investigated recently decade ago. In this study, Chlorella vulgaris was chosen to culture for examination of its influences on microorganisms of seafood wastewater in particular aerobic bacteria, Coliform and E. coli. The microalgae cultivation was realized in Erlenmeyer flasks contain...

Nowadays, the pretreatment of wastewater prior to discharge is very important in various industries as the wastewater without any treatment contains high organic pollution loads that would pollute the receiving waterbody and potentially cause eutrophication and oxygen depletion to aquatic life. The reuse of seafood wastewater discharge in microalga...
