Pineapple core from the canning industrial waste for bacterial cellulose production by .

To address the high production cost associated with bacterial cellulose (BC) production using the Hestrin-Schramm (HS) medium, alternative agricultural wastes have been investigated as potential low-cost resources. This study aims to utilize pineapple core from pineapple canning industry waste as a carbon source to enhance the bacterial growth of and to characterize the physical and mechanical properties of the resulting BC. To assess growth performance, commercial sugar at concentrations of 0, 2.

Beneficiary of nitrifying bacteria for enhancing lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides L.) growths align with carp (Cyprinus carpio) cultivation in an aquaponic system.

The aquaponic system is an alternative strategy to treat aquaculture waste and achieve food independence. Bacteria play vital roles in the aquaponic system as they can transform ammonia or ammonium into nitrite and then into nitrate, which is more favorable for bacteria, fish, and plants. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of nitrifying bacteria (Nitrosomonas europaea Winogradsky and Nitrobacter winogradskyi Winslow) on the aquaponic system in terms of water quality, nutrient availability, and productivity of carp (Cyprinus carpio), lettuce (Lactuca sativa var.
