Chitin, an abundant biopolymer with potential applications in agriculture, medicine, and bioremediation, is conventionally extracted using chemical methods that have environmental disadvantages. This study investigates the extraction of chitin from Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp waste by one-step fermentation bacterial strains Pseudomonas aeruginosa QF50 Serratia sp. QCS23. A total 4 kg was treated culture media enriched different concentrations glucose (1, 5, 10%) for 7 days at 25 °C, followed...
Pollution from crude oil and its derivatives poses a serious threat to human health ecosystems, with accidental spills causing substantial damage. Biodegradation, using microorganisms break down these contaminants, presents promising cost-effective solution. Exploring utilizing new bacterial strains underexplored habitats could improve remediation efforts at contaminated sites. This study aimed evaluate the hydrocarbon biodegradation capacity of bacteria isolated agricultural soils in...
