description |
Carbofuran degrading bacteria were isolated from the soil sample. Isolate 7 was isolated
from the soil sample collected from the Marriot Hotel car park in Johor Bahru. The
sampling location is known to have no history of carbofuran application or
contamination. The Preliminary screening of the MTT (3-[4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-
,diphenyltetrazoliumbromide) assay screened 148 isolates based on the measurement of
growth respiration of the isolated bacteria. Seven isolates as well as Isolate 2,7, 9, 13, 2 1,
72 and 138 are shown to have the highest absorbance measured by the assay. These
isolates were selected from the blue colour formation of formazan. Selected isolates were
subjected to Secondary screening which included the MTT Assay and Direct Plate Count
method. Five isolates; Isolate 2, 7, 9, 13 and 21 were chosen from the highest colony
count in CFUI mL and highest absorbance obtained from the MTT assay. The High
Performance Liquid Chromatography was used as the detector for the carbofuran
degrader which was the Isolate 7. In this study, Isolate 7 gave the reading of 92.98%
degradation of 100mgIL carbofuran in the enrichment culture on sixth day of the
incubation period. This followed by Isolate 13 which gave the measurement carbofuran
degradation reading of 55.8 %, Isolate 21; 54.09 %, and Isolate 9; 53.6%. The lowest
degradation was measured from Isolate 2 with 33.6 % of carbohan degradation. The
control without bacteria accounted only 13 % degraded carbofuran suggesting the
carbofuran underwent chemical degradation. The optimum growth conditions were
determined for Isolate 7 based on the highest colony count (CFUImL) of the bacteria on
nutrient agar. Glucose as a carbon source and 60 mg/L of carbofuran, in carbofuran
