The deep-sea ecosystem is a largely unexplored environment with unique chemical and physical conditions that impact the organisms living there. Deep-sea sediments contain a diverse population of electroactive bacteria (EABs) that have the potential to generate electricity in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). This study aims to investigate the influence of salinity concentration on bacterial viabi…
Industrial wastewater is one of many problems that cause damage to the environment in Indonesia, thus requiring it to be treated prior to discharging to the water body. This project aimed to improve the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) system at PT Faratu to be able to treat its wastewater to meet the wastewater quality standards regulated by Indonesia government. To achieve this, the WWTP…
"Keratin was found to be a promising alternative material as biomaterial due to several advantages such as supporting cell attachment, fibroblast growth, and naturally abundance. Unfortunately, keratin also have fragile and poor mechanical properties that limits its usage. On the other hand, low methoxyl pectin is widely known as a gelling agent and can be formed into hydrogel by addition o…
