Palm oil mill effluent (POME) has a high concentration of organic matter and total suspended solids. However, improper disposal refining wastes containing oils, fats, sludge can cause environmental damage harm human health due to their toxic, carcinogenic, polluting effects. This research was carried out solve the harmful effects caused by release POME environment. The goal this study isolate naturally occurring bacterium that could degrade use it as single carbon source. Bacteria were isolated from POME-contaminated medium using an enrichment technique. Judging 16S rRNA partial gene sequencing, morphological, biochemical, molecular identification methods, bacteria identified novel Bacillus sp. substrate concentration, inoculum size, pH, temperature, incubation time on bacterial growth investigated "one factor at time" (OFAT) approach. optimal conditions for bacterium's found be pH 7.5, 35 °C, 20 % v/v 6 96 hours incubation. is capable reducing 84 COD 91 BOD sample. degradation potential suggests used good option bioremediation POME-polluted areas.

Phenol and its derivatives are pollutants of great environmental concern due to their acute toxicity even in minute amounts, both aquatic life people. Many regulatory bodies have tagged them as priority pollutants. levels exceeding the acceptable limit our environment is no longer a new issue there rise contamination phenol rapid industrialization. Thus, increased interest this pollutant's investigation related significance urgency removal. Several methods currently used for removal from aqueous solutions. Each method associated with advantages disadvantages but by far adsorption using adsorbent most widely method. The sorption phenolic compounds very complex process, many factors influence it. This paper presents summary parameters influencing capacity compound such capacity, efficiency, effects pH, contact time, effect sorbent dosage, concentration temperature various adsorbents been reviewed.

Chlorpyrifos, being a frequently used organophosphate pesticide poses significant threat to human health due its prolonged presence in soil, plants, and water, this has raised concern. Consequently, researchers have shifted their attention towards finding methods mitigate toxicity or eliminate it from the environment. This highlighted importance of bioremediation. study was aimed at analyzing characterizing metabolites chlorpyrifos degradation by Bacillus sp. strain UPMB10 isolated polluted environment using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. The bacteria were successfully utilizing enrichment technique mineral salt media, followed screening obtain best isolate. Identification isolate done morphological, biochemical, molecular levels, with focus on 16S rRNA gene. Phylogenetic analysis revealed close relationship between bacterium UPMB10. Optimization (One Factor A Time) determine growth conditions optimal obtained include, incubation time 48 hours, substrate concentration 4 g/L, pH 7.0, temperature 37 °C, an inoculum size 2 % (v/v), these quantitative data valuable insights into factors affecting efficient pesticide. Spectrometry demonstrated that achieved remarkable efficiency 99 after hours incubation. Notably, Mesitylene Dimethylmalonic acid as some degradation. result provides insight transformation products generated during process. exhibits capacity for degradation, making promising candidate bioremediation insecticides acaricides.
