ISOLASI DAN IDENTIFIKASI MIKROBA PENDEGRADASI SENYAWA PERSISTEN ORGANIC POLUTTANS PADA TANAH ANDOSOL MAGELANG
Abstract: The development of
the agricultural sector has resulted in the increase of the environmental
pollution by chemicals, such as; persistent organochlorine contaminants, can
undergo bioaccumulation in nature. Ramadhani and Oginawati (2009) stated that
organochlorine compounds classified as Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are
chemical compounds that are persistent in the environment, can undergo
bioaccumulation in the food chain, and has the risk of being the cause of many
negative impacts on human health and the environment. In the agricultural area,
there are microorganisms in the soil that act as decomposers of organic
materials or use organic materials as food. This research was conducted at the
Microbiology Laboratory of the Research Center for Biology LIPI Cibinong
February 2012 to August 2012. Isolation and characterization of microbes
degrading Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) performed at the Laboratory of
Microbiology Research Center for Biology LIPI Cibinong by using three stages,
(1) Isolation and identification of POPs degrading microbes, (2) test the
growth characteristics of the isolates in the different types of POPs. The
purpose of the study is to select the bacteria in the soil that could
potentially degrade the insecticide residues that have the characteristics of
POPs ( dieldrin , DDT , aldrin , heptaklor ) . The results of bacterial
isolation study shows that there are five (5) types of bacteria which are able
to degrade POPs ( dieldrin , DDT , aldrin , heptachlor ). Those bacteria are
Achoromobacter sp, Catenococcus thiocycli, Heliothrix oregonensis, Bacillus
cereus ,Bacillus subtilis.
