BAKTERI PENDEGRADASI AMONIA LIMBAH CAIR KARET PONTIANAK KALIMANTAN BARAT
ABSTRACT: Liquid waste from
rubber processing factories contains natural bacteria that degrade ammonia
which can be used in the process of treatment of liquid waste of rubber and is
capable of oxidizing ammonia. This research aimed to reveal the genera of
bacteria that degrade ammonia derived from liquid waste of rubber that was taken
from the rubber industry factory PT. Sumber Djantin. The research was conducted
in a period of 4 months, from July to October 2014. The bacteria were isolated
using the pour plate method, then their morphology was observed
macroscopically, microscopically, and in addition, biochemical tests were
performed. The identification of bacterial isolates referred to Bergey's Manual
of Determinative Bacteriology. A total of seven genera of bacteria found in the
liquid waste from rubber factory PT. Sumber Djantin. The seven genere of
bacteria were Nitrosomonas, Nitrosolobus, Nitrosospira, Nitrosococcus, Nitrospina,
Nitrospira, and Nitrococcus. All are classified into the group of gram-negative
bacteria.
