Chitin was chemically extracted from crab shell waste and dissolved in N,N-dimethyl acetamine/5% lithium chloride (DMAc/5% LiCl) at room temperature to obtain 1% and 2% concentrations of chitin solution. Chitin fibers were prepared by phase inversion at different temperatures of water coagulation bath at 5, 20, and 60 °C. The deconvolution of FTIR spectra indicated that the area portion of the intermolecular hydrogen bonding NH…OC increased at 60 °C due to the higher density of the chitin segment in the fiber. As a result, scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurement suggests that a denser structure of the chitin fiber was observed when the temperature of the coagulation bath increased. In addition, the resultant chitin fibers generated better mechanical properties relative to the amount of chitin concentration and temperature. At 2% of chitin solution, the tensile strength significantly increased from 80 to 182 MPa for the fiber obtained at temperatures of 5 and 60 °C of the water coagulation bath, respectively. Meanwhile, the water content in the fiber significantly decreased from 1101% to 335%. This green synthesis route has high potential for the fabrication of the fiber as future material of interest for biomedical application.

Chitosan is a natural polymer derived from crab shell waste through a process of deproteination,demineralization, and deacetylation. Chitosan reported to be an effective adsorbent to remove someheavy metals. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of chitosan from crab shellwaste as an adsorbent and filter for increase water quality that contain heavy metals such as mercury(Hg) and lead (Pb). This experimental involved the determination of the adsorption and filter of chitosanfor mercury and lead ion. It was used solution of 500 mg/L lead and 1 mg/L mercury and was addedchitosan 0 %/ 2 % and 4 %. Then the mixture was continuously stirred using magnetic stirrer for 1hours at room temperature. After that solution was filtered and filtrate were analyzed using atomicadsorption spectroscopy to determine amount of lead and mercury adsorbed by chitosan. The resultindicated that the adsorption capacity of chitosan depends strongly on concentration of chitosan and onthe species of metallic ions in the water. The adsorption capacity for the mercury on chitosan was lowerthan lead. Chitosan, a type of biopolymer, is a good adsorbent to remove various kinds of heavy metalions. Chitosan has the highest adsorption capacity for mercury and lead ions because they have functionalgroups such as hydroxyls and amines which can bind mercury and lead ions. This chitosan can be a goodcandidate as adsorbent for adsorption of not only mercury and lead ions but also other heavy metal ions inwater.

This study investigates the effect of the constituents and temperature of a coagulation bath on the morphology and water absorption behavior of a skin–core filament, which has potential application in the field of controlled drug release, based on biomedical polyurethane (BPU) and native silk fibroin microparticles (NSFPs). BPU solution and BPU/NSFP blend solution were extruded from the cortex and core channel of a coaxial double injector into a coagulation bath with different constituents and at different temperatures to form filaments. Scanning electron microscopy analysis of the skin–core filament prepared by wet-spinning revealed that the addition of ethanol decreased the exchange speed between the solvent and non-solvent and led to the formation of micropores on the surface. Meanwhile, the interface between the cortex and core became pronounced and the water absorption capability of the filament decreased with increasing ethanol concentration in the coagulation bath. The high temperature of the coagulation bath also improved the exchange speed between the solvent and non-solvent; however, its effect on the morphology of the filament was weak. Thus, a skin–core filament with different morphologies and water absorption behaviors was fabricated by controlling the constituents and temperature of the coagulation bath during the wet-spinning process. This skin–core filament has potential applications in controlled drug release.

Abstract. Dliyauddin M, Ardyati T, Suharjono. 2020. Evaluation of enzymatic activity and Identification of Potent Proteolytic and Chitinolytic Bacteria Isolated from Crab Shell Waste. Biodiversitas 21: 211-218. Proteolytic and chitinolytic bacteria are needed to degrade protein-chitin fibers in crab shell waste. These bacteria are important for enhancing the degradation rate of crab shell waste in the environment. This study aims to study the enzymatic activity and identify potent proteolytic and chitinolytic bacteria based on 16S rDNA sequences. The bacteria were isolated from crab shell waste using skim milk agar and colloidal chitin agar for proteolytic and chitinolytic bacteria, respectively. The bacterial isolates were screened based on their protease and chitinase activity using casein and chitin as substrates, respectively. The selected isolates were identified based on 16S rDNA sequences similarity. A total of 20 proteolytic and 22 chitinolytic bacteria were successfully isolated from the samples. The isolate of AP9, AP5, and BP14 had a high protease activity. However, only BP14 and CK20 showed a high chitinase activity. The isolate of AP9 was identified as Bacillus subtilis, AP5, and CK20 were identified as Bacillus licheniformis, and BP14 was identified as Bacillus cereus.

The increase of crab meat export activities in Indonesia leads to the accumulation of crab shell waste in a massive amount that can naturally degrade and causing bad odor. Naturally, microorganisms will degrade this waste through fermentation and enzymatic reaction, including protease and chitinase due to its high content of chitin and protein. Bacillus is the most potential bacteria to degrade crab shell waste, and indigenous Bacillus from this waste can increase the degradation rates. The aims of this study were to evaluate the proteolytic and chitinolytic activities of indigenous Bacillus species from crab shell waste. Bacillus cereus BP14 and Bacillus licheniformis CK20 as the chitinolytic bacteria, and Bacillus subtilis AP9 and Bacillus licheniformis AP5 as the proteolytic bacteria were isolated from crab shell waste and identified based on the 16S rDNA sequences. The bacterial isolates were grown in skim milk broth for proteolytic characterization and colloidal chitin broth for chitinolytic characterization. The growth rates of each bacteria were determined through the growth curves. The enzymatic activities were determined based on the international standard for protease and chitinase enzyme activities together with growth curve sampling to determine the best incubation time for obtaining the highest enzymatic activities. From the shortest to the longest generation times of the Bacillus species obtained were B. subtilis AP9, B. licheniformis CK20, B. cereus BP14, and B. licheniformis AP5, respectively. The best incubation time for producing the highest enzymatic activity varied among species. However, the end of the logarithmic phase was similar. All of the Bacillus species obtained from this study exhibited chitinolytic and proteolytic activity. Therefore, it can be used as promising candidates of biodegradation agents inenhancing the degradation rates of crab shell wastes.

The poly (m-phenylene isophthalamide) (PMIA) fiber, which can be prepared by wet spinning, is a kind of aromatic polyamide fiber. The spinning parameters could influence the performance and structure of the colored PMIA fiber such as the diffusion coefficient and coagulation bath. In this study, the PMIA spinning solutions doped with Color Inde purple 120 were first commixed in a pressurizer and then spun into a coagulation bath under a pressure about 0.3 MPa. In the coagulation bath, the pure or dope-dyed PMIA fibers were prepared by wet spinning at 323 K, and then the as-spun fibers were extracted by an ultrasonic oscillation method. The effects of jet stretch ratio, temperature, and concentration of the coagulation bath on the ratio of diffusion coefficient of solvent to coagulator were analyzed during the spinning process of dope-dyed PMIA fibers. The properties and structures of the colored PMIA fibers were characterized by SEM. Finally the most optimized spinning technology of the dope-dyed PMIA fiber was obtained and the dope-dyed PMIA fibers were successfully fabricated through wet spinning.
