"Kelimpahan mikroplastik pada perairan yang melebihi ambang batas aman perlu dilakukan remediasi. Bentuk-bentuk remediasi mikroplastik salah satunya adalah menggunakan agen biologis seperti bakteri. Bakteri dari sampel mikroplastik berhasil diisolasi dari air di inlet dan outlet Situ Kenanga, Kampus UI, Depok. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemampuan pertumbuhan delapan isolat bakteri pada variasi medium (ISP 1 agar, NA, dan LBA) dan suhu (25, 30, 35 dan 40°C), karakterisasi morfologi dan biokimia, serta kemampuan isolat bakteri terpilih untuk mendegradasi mikroplastik polietilena (PE). Pengujian aktivitas biokimia isolat bakteri dilakukan dengan uji fermentasi karbohidrat, oksidasi-fermentasi, produksi enzim katalase, dan sitrase. Berdasarkan pengujian variasi medium dan suhu menunjukkan bahwa keseluruhan isolat tumbuh optimum pada medium ISP 1 agar dan rentang suhu 30--35°C. Isolat KO1.1.3 positif pada uji degradasi substrat pati, sedangkan isolat KO1.3, KO2.2, KO2.3 dan KI2 dapat mendegradasi skim milk. Delapan isolat memiliki karakteristik biokimia yang bervariasi berdasarkan hasil uji. Hasil uji degradasi mikroplastik PE oleh kedua isolat terpilih menunjukkan bahwa tidak ditemukan adanya pengurangan berat granula PE setelah inkubasi selama 20 dan 45 hari. Pengamatan SEM menunjukkan adanya aktivitas degradasi pada permukaan granula PE ditandai dengan terbentuknya lubang oleh kedua isolat bakteri terpilih setelah 45 hari inkubasi. Hasil ini menunjukkan kedua isolat bakteri berpotensi dalam mendegradasi PE.

The abundance of microplastics in water that exceeds the safety threshold needs urgent remediation. Biological agents, such as bacteria, are one of the ways for microplastics remediation. Microplastics-associated bacteria were previously isolated from water samples at the inlet and outlet of Situ Kenanga, UI Campus, Depok. This study aims to determine the growth ability of eight bacterial isolates at various media (ISP 1 agar, NA, and LBA) and temperatures (25, 30, 35 and 40°C), morphological and biochemical characteristics, and the ability of selected bacterial isolates to degrade polyethylene (PE) microplastics. Biochemical activities of bacterial isolates were carried out by carbohydrates fermentation ability, oxidation-fermentation, catalase enzyme production, and citrate utilization tests. All isolates grew optimally on ISP 1 agar and a temperatures range of 30--35°C. Isolate KO1.1.3 was positive in the starch degradation test, while isolates KO1.3, KO2.2, KO2.3 and KI2 were able to degrade skim milk. All bacterial isolates were showing various biochemical characteristics. The results of PE degradation tests by the two selected isolates showed that there was no weight reduction of PE granules after 20 and 45 days of incubation. However, SEM observations showed degradation activity on the surface of the PE granules which was indicated by the crack’s formation after 45 days of incubation. These results indicated that the two bacterial isolates were potential for PE degradation."

The aim of this research is to synthesize Ag/TiO2 nano-composites to study their ability to degrade microplastics in water, followed by varying the concentration and size of microplastic particles as pollutants in drinking water. Polyethylene microplastics were selected as samples in this study. The variation of microplastic concentrations used are 100, 500, and 1000 ppm with an initial particle size of 100-150 micrometers. While the microplastic size variations used are 100-125, 125-150, and 150-250 micrometers with initial concentrations of 100 ppm. Magnetic stirrers are used at a rotational speed of 2000 rpm during the irradiation process with a UV lamp. The addition of Ag dopant has a fairly good effect in microplastic degradation, where the percentage of degradation reaches 100% within 120 minutes of irradiation at an initial concentration of 100 ppm and particle size of 100-150 micrometers. With an initial concentration of 100 ppm obtained the best percent degradation at particle size 125-150 micrometers, where 100% degradation was achieved at 90 minutes of irradiation."

"Melimpahnya limbah plastik di lingkungan berpotensi menimbulkan bahaya pencemaran karena adanya degradasi plastik menjadi mikroplastik. Beredarnya pencemaran oleh mikroplastik ini mendukung dimulainya penelitian terkait pendeteksian mikroplastik di lingkungan. Salah satu metode deteksi mikroplastik tersebut adalah pemanfaatan sifat fluoresensi dari carbon quantum dots (CQDs). Pada penelitian ini, CQDs akan diproduksi melalui metode hidrotermal menggunakan bahan baku pelepah kelapa sawit sebagai sumber karbon karena mengandung kadar lignin sebanyak 15-26%. Untuk memperoleh karbon tersebut, pelepah kelapa sawit dihancurkan lalu diubah menjadi biochar melalui proses pirolisis. Biochar digunakan sebagai prekursor pembuatan CQDs yang diproduksi melalui metode hidrotermal pada variasi suhu 180°C, 190°C, 200°C. Pada penelitian ini, dihasilkan CQDs dengan peak 291 nm pada rentang panjang gelombang UV yang menunjukkan adanya pita serapan π-π* pada struktur karbon CQDs. Munculnya gugus C=C, O-H dan C=O yang dominan pada pengujian FTIR juga membuktikan keberhasilan produksi CQDs melalui metode hidrotermal ini. CQDs yang dihasilkan pada ketiga variasi suhu tersebut berukuran kurang dari 10 nm serta memiliki intensitas fluoresensi paling tinggi pada variasi 200℃ ketika dieksitasi pada 405 nm. Akan tetapi, quenching pada CQDs setelah berinteraksi dengan mikroplastik polietilen (PE) dan polietilen tereftalat (PET) belum dapat disimpulkan. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk mengetahui interaksi antara CQDs dan mikroplastik, terutama PE dan PET.

The abundance of plastic waste in the environment has the potential to cause pollution hazards due to the degradation of plastic into microplastics. The circulation of pollution by microplastics supports the start of research related to detecting microplastics in the environment. One method for detecting microplastics is utilizing the fluorescence properties of carbon quantum dots (CQDs). In this research, CQDs will be produced via the hydrothermal method using palm frond raw materials as a carbon source because they contain lignin levels of 15-26%. To obtain this carbon, palm fronds are crushed and then converted into biochar through a pyrolysis process. Biochar is used as a precursor for making CQDs which are produced via the hydrothermal method at varying temperatures of 180°C, 190°C, 200°C. In this research, CQDs were produced with a peak of 291 nm in the UV wavelength range, indicating the existence of a π-π* absorption band in the CQDs carbon structure. The appearance of dominant C=C, O-H and C=O groups in FTIR testing also proves the success of CQDs production via this hydrothermal method. The CQDs produced at the three temperature variations were less than 10 nm in size and had the highest fluorescence intensity at the 200℃ variation when excited at 405 nm. However, the quenching of CQDs after interacting with polyethylene (PE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastics cannot be concluded. Therefore, further research needs to be carried out to determine the interaction between CQDs and microplastics, especially PE and PET."

"Mikroplastik diketahui telah tertelan oleh berbagai taksa biota. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis kelimpahan, bentuk, dan warna mikroplastik yang terdapat pada air, sedimen, dan ikan cere Gambusia affinis di Situ Kenanga dan Situ Mahoni, Universitas Indonesia, Depok, Jawa Barat. Seluruh sampel diambil di 3 stasiun yaitu inlet, midlet, dan outlet. Sampel air 20 L disaring menggunakan plankton net 350 mesh, sampel sedimen diambil 250 mL menggunakan Ekman grab, ikan cere diambil secara acak menggunakan dip net sebanyak 20 individu dari tiap situ. Sampel ikan diawetkan dengan alkohol 70% dan diekstraksi menggunakan 10 mL NaOH 1 M. Sedimen dikeringkan pada oven 65°C dan dihaluskan. Seluruh sampel dilarutkan dengan NaCl jenuh. Larutan dihomogenisasi sebanyak 20 mL dan 1 mL diteteskan Sedgewick Rafter Chamber untuk diamati di bawah mikroskop cahaya. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan total rata-rata kelimpahan mikroplastik di Situ Kenanga pada air sejumlah 434,33 ± 23,51 partikel L-1, pada sedimen sejumlah 45.837,04 ± 36.305,97 partikel kg-1, pada ikan cere sejumlah 287, 67 ± 95,65 partikel ind-1 atau 212,28 ± 61,88 partikel gram-1. Sementara itu, pada air di Situ Mahoni sejumlah 437,67 ± 30,21 partikel L-1, pada sedimen sejumlah 36.237,04 ± 16.702,59 partikel kg-1, dan pada ikan cere sejumlah 275 ± 95,82 partikel ind-1 atau 654,28 ± 279,71 partikel gram-1. Hasil analisis Uji T Dua Sampel menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan nyata pada sampel air, sedimen, dan ikan cere (partikel ind-1), tetapi terdapat perbedaan nyata pada ikan cere (partikel g-1) dari kedua situ. Fiber dan warna hitam merupakan bentuk dan warna mikroplastik yang mendominasi keseluruhan sampel.

Microplastics have been ingested by various biota taxa. This study was aimed to analyze the abundance, shape, and color of microplastic found in water, sediment, and mosquitofish Gambusia affinis in Situ Kenanga and Situ Mahoni, University of Indonesia, Depok, West Java. All samples were taken at 3 stations, namely inlet, midlet, and outlet. Water samples (20 L) were filtered using a 350 mesh plankton net, sediment samples (250 mL) were taken using an Ekman grab, mosquitofish were taken randomly using a dip net, and 20 individuals from each situ (total of 40 individuals). Fish samples were preserved in 70% alcohol and extracted using 10 mL of 1 M NaOH. Sediments were dried in an oven at 65°C and pulverized. All samples were dissolved with saturated NaCl. The solution (20 mL) was homogenized, then 1 mL of solution was taken to the Sedgewick Rafter Chamber and then observed under a light microscope. The results showed that the average total of microplastics in Situ Kenanga in water was 434,33 ± 23,51 L-1 particles, in sediments were 45.837,04 ± 36.305,97 kg-1 particles, and in fish were 287, 67 ± 95,65 ind-1 particles or 212,28 ± 61,88 gram-1 particles. Meanwhile, the average total of microplastics in Situ Mahoni in water were 437,67 ± 30,21 L-1 particles, in sediments were 36.237,04 ± 16.702,59 kg-1 particles, and in fish were 275 ± 95,82 ind-1 particles or 654,28 ± 279,71 gram-1 particles. The results of the Two Sample T-Test analysis showed that there was no difference in water, sediment, and mosquitofish (ind-1 particles) between the two situ, but there was a significant difference in mosquitofish (g-1 particles) from the two situ. Fiber and black were respectively the predominant shapes and colors of microplastics in all samples."
