Potential Use Of Microorganisms Isolated From Fermented Fruit Waste In Waste Water Treatment

---

The discharge of untreated industrial wastewater into rivers in Malaysia presents significant
environmental challenges, particularly concerning ammonium and phosphorus pollution in aquatic
ecosystems, which entail ecological, economic, and health implications. Addressing these concerns, this
research focuses on comprehensively characterizing diverse microorganisms within fermented fruit
biowaste. The fermentation process facilitates the growth of bacteria, subsequently cultured and added
to synthetic wastewater to assess their impact on various parameters. These findings reveal that the
mixed culture of bacteria derived from the fermented fruit waste has the potential to effectively treat
contaminants in synthetic wastewater. Notably, the bacteria successfully reduced concentrations of
ammonium, phosphate. Despite these promising results, it is crucial to acknowledge certain constraints,
including time limitations, procedural shortcomings, and potential human errors, as well as limitations in
tools and equipment, which inevitably influence the study's scope. To enhance the precision of future
research, we recommend a detailed examination of the specific bacterial strains present in the mixed
culture, aiming to identify strains responsible for wastewater treatment. In summary, this research
underscores the potential of fermented fruit bio waste in wastewater treatment, though further
investigations into specific bacterial strains are warranted for a more comprehensive understanding and
application of these findings.
