Malaysia hosts some of the most productive blue carbon ecosystems globally. Here we review status and known threats faced by local mangroves seagrass examine conservation prospects using financing. Based on lessons learnt from projects worldwide, needs to address governance financing hurdles that include clarifying land tenureship, ensuring community involvement benefits, obtaining sustainable for long-term success. Research clarify uncertainties extent trajectories both mangrove is needed...
Abstract. High-quality ocean colour observations are increasingly accessible to support various monitoring and research activities for water quality measurements. In this paper, we present a newly developed regional total suspended solids (TSSs) empirical model using MODIS Aqua's Rrs(530) Rrs(666) reflectance bands investigate the spatial temporal variation in TSS dynamics along southwest coast of Sarawak, Borneo, with application Open Data Cube (ODC) platform. The performance retrieval was...
Aims: Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is a major agricultural waste product of Malaysia.The aim this study was to identify endophytic fungi capable producing biofuel feedstock utilizing POME.Methodology and results: Endophytes were isolated from the Nipah palm tree, Nypa fruticans, exposed different POME concentrations (25%, 50% 75%), with without addition nutrients.The utilization glucose measured using Dinitrosalicylic Acid assay whereas lipid content in fungal cells extracted Bligh Dyer...
Aims: A study on biosorption ability using encapsulated endophytic fungi has been carried out to investigate its potential in removing heavy metals.Biosorption emerged as an alternative bioremediation process remove and sequester metal ions from polluted water.An Pestalotiopsis sp.(isolated Nypa fruticans) was found be able resist copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb) zinc (Zn) up 1,000 ppm thus the aim of this live dead sp.biomass (at pH 4-6) metals.Additionally, a proteomic conducted...
