The Ability of the Indigenous Bacteria Chromobacterium haemolyticum strain W15 to Degrade Chromium (Cr) and Lead (Pb) in Liquid Coal Waste

The use of coal as a raw material for power plants has a good economic impact, but it also has a detrimental environmental impact, particularly due to the presence of Cr and Pb, heavy metals with bioaccumulation and biomagnification qualities. Efforts to control Pb and Cr in liquid coal waste can be achieved by bioremediation. The goal of this study is to screen indigenous bacteria, identify, and test biodegradation on the best bacteria capable of degrading Cr and Pb. Bacterial screening is done experimentally in the lab. Bacterial identification is done using morphological, biochemical, and molecular genetic methods. Using atomic absorption spectroscopy to validate Cr and Pb biodegradation research. Biodegradation experiments revealed that the efficacy of indigenous bacteria reduced Pb by 216% (0.238 ppm to 0.11 ppm) and Cr by 195% (0.34 ppm to 0.174 ppm). The findings of biochemical, morphological, and molecular genetic studies revealed that the top bacterial strains were up to 96% related. using Chromobacterium haemolyticum strain W15. Chromobacterium haemolyticum strain X, an indigenous bacteria capable of degrading Cr and Pb, was successfully isolated from liquid waste.


INTRODUCTION
Indonesia has one of the greatest coal mining outputs in the world.According to statistics from the Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Geological Agency has potential coal reserves of 186 billion tons, with 52% on Sumatra Island, 47% on Kalimantan Island, and 1% on other islands. 1 The result of the high number of mining industries is, of course, producing waste; this has a harmful influence on the environment, particularly because of the heavy metal concentration, which is bioaccumulative and biomagnifying.This can be dangerous for the environment, the organisms that live in it, and the impact on humans through the accumulation of heavy metals in the body and food chain at each trophic level. 2 Waste produced by the coal industry is often characterized as liquid waste containing heavy metals that are hazardous and poisonous. 3ccording to Minister of Environment Decree Number 113 of 2003, liquid coal waste contains heavy elements such as manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), cyanide (CN), mercury (Hg), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn), all of which pose significant risks to the environment and individuals. 4eavy metal bioremediation is a method for reducing heavy metal pollution by using native bacteria enzymatically, resulting in the decomposition of pollutants from dangerous and complex molecules found in heavy metals into harmless chemical compounds. 5Bioremediation is a process that involves designing microorganisms to thrive on certain heavy metals in order to lower heavy metal levels.When the bioremediation process occurs, enzymes generated by microorganisms change the chemical structure through a process known as biotransformation.Bioremediation of Pb and Cr from coal industry liquid waste using indigenous bacteria is an effort to use indigenous bacteria enzymatically to degrade the heavy metals Cr and Pb from dangerous compounds to non-hazardous, nontoxic, and simple chemicals. 6Bioremediation processes necessitate superior and chosen bacteria; hence, screening procedures comprising isolation, identification, and genetic information are necessary to acquire the best sorts of degrading bacteria.In terms of bioremediation technology, the Indonesian government has established a regulatory framework that governs conventional bioremediation operations to address environmental issues caused by mining, oil, and other kinds of pollution.The Minister of State for the Environment issued Decree No. 128 of 2003, which outlines bioremediation procedures and technical criteria for handling petroleum waste and petroleum-contaminated soil.The laws also indicate that bioremediation is carried out by using indigenous microorganisms. 7he goal of this study is to identify native bacteria that are most effective at breaking down Cr and Pb from coal industry liquid waste, as well as to identify the bacteria detected by morphological-biological and molecular biology analysis.It is envisaged that bioremediation technology would be employed to restore habitats polluted with Pb and Cr by indigenous microorganisms.

Types of research
This is an experimental quantitative study that will investigate the capacity of indigenous bacteria to digest Cr and Pb in liquid coal waste.Atomic absorption spectroscopy is used to validate the decrease in Cr and Pb concentrations caused by the breakdown of indigenous microorganisms.

Research variable
The independent variable is indigenous bacteria, the fixed variable is time, and the dependent variable is variations in Cr and Pb levels in liquid coal waste.Population and Sample: 1. Population: the population in this study is coal liquid waste.

Data collection
This research's data gathering process is separated into two categories, which are:

Primary information data
Primary information data was taken from observations in the laboratory a) Screening data for specific indigenous microorganisms.b) Information on the capacity to extract the finest indigenous bacterial strains during the breakdown of liquid coal waste c) Results of morphological-biochemical and molecular genetic bacterial tests on the chosen and best bacteria for degrading Cr and Pb in liquid coal waste..

Secondary information data
Secondary information data used to complete research obtained by researchers from various sources.

Data processing
Indigenous bacteria isolated from coal mining liquid waste are bacteria that thrive in their environment and can use the substrate as an energy source.Indigenous bacteria were then cultured on solid sodium agar media loaded with coal industry liquid waste, which served as the main energy source.Gradually increase the concentration of liquid coal waste from 1 ppm to 10 ppm qualitatively on solid media.Bromothymol blue was used as an indicator to test bacteria's breakdown ability.Bacteria that can decompose coal waste will be yellow in color.The Bromothymol Blue indicator is a color change indicator that detects bacterial decomposition in coal waste.The medium turns yellow due to the aerobic catabolism of liquid coal waste, which produces acid compounds that turn the bromothymol blue indicator yellow.Bacteria capable of digesting liquid coal waste on solid medium are next tested on liquid media (natrium broth with brom thymol blue at a concentration of 25-100 ppm) to choose the optimum bacterial degradation capabilities.
The degradation test using liquid media is more real and faster than using solid media.In qualitative observations and testing, yellow color changes were only visible up to a concentration of 75 ppm for three days; However, no color change was seen at a concentration of 100 ppm during three 24 hour observations.As a result, researchers determined that 75 ppm was the ideal amount.Based on the screening results, 5 bacterial isolates were selected that were able to digest liquid coal waste at a concentration of 75 ppm and were evaluated for 3 days with the color changing from blue to yellow.

Identification of indigenous bacteria degrading coal liquid waste
Liquid waste samples were diluted with 9 ml physiological NaCl up to 10 5 dilutions, distributed uniformly over Nutrient Agar substrate using a triangel, then incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. 8The planting technique on nutrient agar media was done three times, yielding about 114 bacterial species.The screening test is then performed on Natrium agar medium that has been combined with liquid waste and incubated with the Bromine Thymol Blue indicator.A formerly blue zone became yellow during this test.Isolates that developed yellow zones were re-cultured on nutrient agar and incubated for 24 hours at 37°C.The yellow zone formed by the deterioration of indigenous bacteria with the greatest zone will be used as the test bacterium in the study. 9acroscopic observations include the form, color, edges, and elevation of bacterial colonies, and the colony's surface may be viewed from the side, while its edge can be seen from the top of the dish.Gram staining allows for the observation of bacterial cell shape. 10The slides used for Gram staining were sterilized with 70% alcohol.One bacterial isolate was taken and smeared on a glass slide, then fixed several times in a Bunsen flame.The bacterial isolate was dripped with two drops of crystal violet and left for one minute.The bacterial isolate was with distilled water, and then dried.
The isolate was then dipped in iodine, left for one minute, rinsed with distilled water, and finally dried.The bacterial isolate was progressively dripped with 95% alcohol for 30 seconds before being rinsed with distilled water and dried.The isolate was gradually drizzled with safranin for thirty seconds, rinsed with distilled water, and dried.The dyed bacterial isolates were then examined under a microscope at a magnification of 100 x.Observations include the color and form of bacterial cells.Bacteria gram positive are the colored purple because they can bind crystal violet.Gram-negative bacteria produce a pink hue because they cannot bind crystal violet and are only stained by safranin. 11 biochemical test for lactic acid bacteria.Triple Sugar Iron Agar (TSI) Test: A single colony of bacterial isolates is injected into the Triple Sugar Iron Agar medium by piercing the back perpendicularly and obliquely in a zigzag pattern.After 24 hours of incubation at 37°C, the medium's color shift became noticeable, If the slanted agar media is red while the backdrop is yellow, it means that the bacteria can ferment glucose.The growth of bacteria on the agar media produces a yellow color indicating that the bacteria are able to digest glucose, lactose and sucrose. 12Indole test for further bacterial identification tests.Bacterial isolates were injected into SIM medium (sulfide, indole, and motility) and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours.Then, 10-12 drops of Kovac's reagent were used to observe the indole test results. 13The motility test involved putting a colony of bacterial isolates into SIM medium (sulfide, Indole, and motility) and incubation for 48 hours at 37°C.Bacterial growth around the puncture suggests a negative test result.The development of bacteria that spread over the medium demonstrates a favorable test outcome.Methyl red and the Voges-Proskauer (MR-VP) tests.One colony of bacterial isolates was added to MR-VP Medium (Glucose Phosphate Broth) and incubated for 48 hours at 37°C.The methyl red (MR) test was performed by adding three drops of the reagent to the medium.A positive test results in a shift in the color of the medium to red, indicating the formation of acid.The Voges-Proskauer (VP) test involved adding three drops of KOH 3% and five drops of alpha-naphthol shaking for 30 seconds. 14ermentation test: The test is carried out in a test tube with a Durham tube, then one colony of bacterial isolates is cultured in De Man Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) broth media.The media culture was then incubated for 48 hours at 37°C.Bacteria that store gas in Durham tubes are categorized as heterofermentative, and those that do not store gas are classified as homofermentative. 15he catalase test was performed by pouring two drops of 3% H 2 O 2 onto 24 hour-old bacterial isolates on a glass slide.The development of air bubbles indicates a favorable catalase response.The development of air bubbles suggests that the bacteria create catalase, an enzyme that converts H 2 O 2 into H 2 O and O 2 . 16Temperature Resistance Test One colony of bacterial isolates was added to De Man Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) broth medium broth medium and incubated at 14°C and 37°C.Turbidity in the medium indicates bacterial proliferation.Temperature resistance test One bacterial isolate colony was put into De Man Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) broth medium, which was then incubated at 14°C and 37°C.The turbidity in the media suggests bacterial growth. 17Data is presented descriptively in the form of tables and figures, with lactic acid bacteria isolates identified based on colony morphology, cell morphology, and physiological properties of bacteria indicated by biochemical test findings.To isolate molecular genetic genome DNA, bacterial isolates were placed in a microtube with 100 µl dd H 2 O and 1 ml 0.5% saponin in PBS 1x.The culture was incubated for 24 hours at 4°C, then centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 10 minutes.The supernatant was discarded, and 1 ml of phosphate lysis buffer was added to the mixture.After centrifugation for 5 minutes at 12000 rpm, the supernat Add 100 µl of dd H 2 O and 50 µl of 20% (b/v) Chelex 100.Place it in a water bath for 10 minutes.The mixture was vortexed every 5 minutes and centrifuged for 15 minutes, at a speed of 12000 rpm, then transfer the pellet from the supernatant to a microtube and add 100 µl of TE solution.Store the DNA pellets at -20°C to produce DNA stock for the quantification test step.Next, use a NanoDrop spectrophotometer to determine the amount of DNA extract.Pipette 1 µl of DNA extract and count at wavelengths of 260 and 280 nm.To amplify DNA using 16S rRNA gene primers (27F and 1491R), add 6 µl ddH2O, 12.5 µl Promega Master Mix, 2 µl forward primer, 2 µl reverse primer, and 2.5 µl DNA template to a microtube.Place the microtube on the PCR equipment and wait approximately 2 hours. 18fter the PCR process, the amplification results are continued to the electrophoresis process.4 µl of loading dye is pipetted, 6 µl of the sample is added, the solution is suspended, the solution is put into the wells using a micropipette, and 5 µl of marker is pipetted then put into the agarose gel wells.The electrophoresis device is then connected to a 100 volt power supply for ± 1 hour.
The findings of electrophoresis are shown on the UV Transilluminator. 19The sequencing findings were examined bioinformatically and matched to the Gene bank (www.ncbi.nih.nim.gov) using the BLAST tool. 20

Sample at the coal industry waste
processing facility in Kalimantan is done using an instantaneous approach (grab sample) at a specific place in the liquid waste disposal channel before it enters the receiving waters, or the river where the effluent is disposed of.Before utilizing the sample container for sampling, the following procedure is performed: Wash the plastic container, including the cap, using a metal and phosphate-free detergent.Rinse with clean water, then wash the bottle with acid by adding 1:1 HCI into the container, twisting the top until tight, and shaking.Then, rinse the bottle with clean water before washing it again with HNO 3 1:1.Finally, rinse the bottle with analyte-free water three times and let it to dry.Once dried, firmly seal the bottle and mark it "ready to use." 21 The sample procedure is carried out in accordance with SNI 6989.59:2008 for Water and Wastewater, Section 59: Wastewater sample Methods.Equipment for taking samples must fulfill numerous standards,  including being built of materials that will not alter the sample's qualities, being easy to clean, and being safe to transport.The container that will be used to keep samples is constructed of glass or plastic, can be firmly sealed, is free of pollutants, and is not readily damaged. 22Test samples were collected on August 25, 2023, between 7:00 and 8:00 WIB.Test samples were carried in containers that satisfied the 5 L sampling standards, sealed firmly, and stored in the laboratory downstairs, away from direct sunlight.Liquid waste samples are collected and screened in the laboratory to identify the best (selected) indigenous bacteria capable of biodegrading the Cr and Pb concentrations in liquid coal waste.The screening procedure involves cultivating indigenous bacteria from liquid coal waste on solid Natrium Agar media and using Brom thymol blue as an indicator medium for the degradation ability of liquid coal waste.Change the tint from green to yellow to obtain biodegradation capabilities.The faster the color change, the greater the degrading ability of liquid coal waste (Figure 1).
Based on the color change speed test with the Brom Thymol Blue indicator, 5 isolates were identified as capable of decomposing liquid coal waste.A brighter color change suggests that the bacteria may diminish the indication.Visually assess the five bacteria that are capable of degrading; strain 5 has the quickest color change rate as shown in Table 2.
Based on the screening results, test bacterium No. 5 has the greatest capacity to breakdown coal waste, as evidenced by the quickest color shift from green to yellow on visual inspection using the bromine thymol blue indicator.Test bacterium No. 5 was then utilized as a degrading bacteria in a study on the cleansing of coal liquid waste with Pb and Cr characteristics.

Measurement of Pb and Cr concentration in coal liquid waste
Coal liquid waste contains the dangerous heavy elements Cr and Pb.As a result, efforts must be made to reduce Pb and Cr levels using bioremediation techniques that involve indigenous microorganisms. 23Bioremediation techniques can reduce lead and chromium concentrations in coal waste, allowing it to be safely disposed of in water systems. 24he concentrations of Pb (lead) and Cr (chromium) in this study were determined laboratory test method, 25 at the Environmental Engineering testing laboratory, Diponegoro University using the atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS).
Table 3 displays the findings of the degradation of heavy metal concentrations of Pb (lead) and Cr (chromium) in liquid coal waste during the research period by the selected and best indigenous bacteria.The success of lowering heavy metal concentrations Cr (Chromium)    4 and 5 displays the morphological and biochemical analyzes carried out on the test bacteria.The results of morphological and biochemical tests were identified as Bacillus sp. or Chomobacterium sp, therefore biomolecular genetic testing is necessary.
Table 6 reveals that the DNA purity value, the ratio 260/230, is a value of 2.08 (standard 2.0 to 2.2), implying that the DNA quality is good based on the quality standards for the DNA purity value at the 260/230 ratio, namely in the range of 2.0 to 2.2.

Identification of the best selected indigenous bacteria Morphological and biochemical analysis
Morphological observations were made on chosen indigenous bacterial isolates, including colony shape, colony edge shape, colony size and color, gram-positive and negative observations, and microscopic shape of the bacteria. 29Biochemical tests include testing the physiological characteristics of bacteria based on Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology, as follows. 30hen visual and biochemical tests on chosen indigenous bacteria using the Bacillus sp. and Chorobacterium sp.identification techniques are compared, the results are almost identical, indicating the need for molecular biological testing to validate the kind and name of the bacteria.Table 5 shows the quantification of nucleic acid (genomic DNA) (nanodrop), as follows: Microorganisms examined based on Sequence Assembly Results -PCR Products, Primer Sequence 1492 R, 867bp, as follows: Microorganisms examined based on Sequence Assembly Results -PCR Products, Primer Sequence 1492 R, 867bp, as shown in Figure 3. Based on Figure 6, the bacteria that has the closest relationship to the test bacteria is Chromobacterium haemolyticum strain W15 with a relationship level of 96%.Table 7 is the result of identifying selected bacteria and the best degraders of Cr and Pb based on bacterial nucleotide base sequences (molecular genetics).

DISCUSSION
Bioremediation is an attempt to transform poor environmental circumstances or heavy metalpolluted conditions into improved environmental conditions or heavy metal-free conditions by the use of enzymatic biological agents.Chromium (Cr) and lead (Pb) are heavy metals that pollute water due to industrial activities, especially liquid coal waste.Chromium (Cr) and lead (Pb) are non-biodegradable and can accumulate in living tissue; therefore, it is very important to treat coal wastewater before it is discharged into the environment.The bioremediation technique aims to reduce Pb and Cr levels in coal-fired liquid waste.
The research results reveal that indigenous bacteria picked from coal waste may decrease Chromium (Cr) and Lead (Pb) concentrations (Figure 4 and Figure 5).
Based on the results of the effectiveness of laboratory tests, there was a reduction in the parameters Cr (98%) and Pb (108%) in liquid coal waste through a bioremediation process with the best native bacterial strains.Graph of reduction in Pb (Lead) and Chromium (Cr) concentrations in liquid coal waste.The findings of the degradation speed based on the linear regression equation demonstrate that the capacity to degrade indigenous bacteria is selected quicker on Chromium (Cr) with the linear equation y = -0.166x + 0.506 (95%) than on Lead (Pb) with the linear equation y = -0.11x + 0.342.(86%).

Identification of indigenous bacteria
The best original bacteria (isolate strain no. 5) used in the research were then identified using morphological-biochemical and molecular genetic tests.Bacterial metabolic characteristics are revealed in biochemical tests by the interaction of their metabolites with chemical reagents and their ability to use certain substances as carbon and energy sources. 32Gram staining is the first bacterial identification procedure that determines the gram type of bacteria based on the appearance of bacterial cells. 33The shapes of bacteria are round (singular: coccus, plural: cocci), rods or cylinders (singular: bacillus, plural: bacilli), and spiral, namely curved or circular rods. 34The shape and color of bacterial cells can be determined after gram staining and checking under a microscope with 100X magnification.Bacilli-shaped bacteria are bacteria that have the shape of short sticks or small rods and are cylindrical. 35The gram staining technique demonstrates that the test microorganisms are gram-positive.Gram-positive bacteria's cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan and special components such as teichoic and teichuronic acids and polysaccharides.Gram-negative bacteria's cell wall is also made up of peptidoglycan, but the special components are lipoprotein, outer membrane, and lipopolysaccharide. 36Gram-positive bacillus bacteria that form spores with a positive catalase test are bacillus species. 37Bacillus sp.shows positive oxidase test results because it is able to produce the enzyme cytochrome oxidase, an enzyme from the bacterial electron transport chain. 38The carbohydrate fermentation test determines the capacity of the test microorganisms to ferment certain carbohydrates.The test bacteria from the Bacillus genera were capable of fermenting glucose.Celibiose, Galactose, Mannose, Melibiose, Rafinose, and Sucrose are fermentable, although mannitol and lactose cannot be. 39The indole test determines an organism's capacity to break down the amino acid tryptophan and make indole.The tests carried out showed negative indole test results.This shows that the test bacteria were unable to break down the amino acid tryptophan because they lacked the tryptophan enzyme which can hydrolyze the amino acid tryptophan with the indole side group. 40Triple sugar iron (TSI) agar is a differential medium that measures carbohydrate fermentation and H2S generation.
Triple sugar iron (TSI) distinguishes bacteria based on their capacity to ferment lactose, glucose, and sucrose, as well as their generation of hydrogen sulfide.Bacteria from the genus Bacillus cannot manufacture H2S on differential triple sugar iron (TSI) agar media. 41

The molecular biology test
The agarose gel electrophoresis method was used to detect PCR products containing the 16S rDNA/16S rRNA gene (PCR-amplified 16S rRNA) from the tested bacterial species.Agarose gel separation works effectively for DNA fragments ranging in size from 50 to 20,000 bp (Figure 2).The 16S rDNA/16S rRNA gene was investigated because it is conserved and is part of the structural RNA section of the ribosome, which plays a crucial role in protein synthesis.As a result, the 16S rRNA gene is always present and owned by prokaryotic organisms, is conserved, and is almost never transported horizontally, making it ideal for phylogenetic tree reconstruction and prokaryote identification. 43The ISW Udinus 2023 strain 5 bacterial genome isolation technique was marked by the creation of one band for each genome of the test bacterium after being seen using a UV transilluminator with a 1.5 kb 16S rRNA gene coding band and compared with a marker (1 kb DNA ladder).The nucleotide sequences of 16S rRNAs were sequenced and compared for similarity using GenBank and the BLAST-N (Basic Local Alignment Search Toll-Nucleotide) tool to establish the test bacteria's homology and species.To evaluate the phylogeny and relationship with other organisms, the 16S rDNA The 16S rDNA sequence data was then aligned with the clustalX version 2.0 program.A phylogenetic tree was generated using the neighbor-joining tree statistical technique in conjunction with a 1000-level bootstrap p-distances model.The PCR results for the 16S rDNA gene were represented by a single band on the electrophoresis gel that was around 1500 bases long. 9The bacterial nucleotide base sequence can be revealed by sequencing using forward and reverse primers, as follows: The test bacteria with code Strain 5 ISW is a molecule type-nucleic acid with a query length of 2776.with a lineage report as follows Kingdom : Procaryotae, Division : Bacteria, Class : Betaproteobacteria, Family : Neisseriales, Ordo : Chromobacteriaceae, Genus : Chromobacterium Species : Chromobacterium haemolyticum strain X Based on phylogenetic tree analysis, strain 5 ISW (test bacteria) has a very tight connection with Chromobacterium haemolyticum strain W15, with a maximum identity of 96%.Table 6 displays ten bacteria that are closely related to the test microorganisms, as follows.
Figure 6 shows the Phylogenetic Tree Construction of the best selected indigenous bacteriathat degrade Chromium (Cr) and Lead (Pb) in liquid coal waste.
Utilization of Chromobacterium haemolyticum bacteria was successfully isolated from coal wastewater.and has the greatest ability to degrade the heavy metals chromium (Cr) and lead (Pb) contained in coal wastewater.Chromobacterium hemolyticum strain Because this bacterium is not pathogenic to the environment, its use as a bioremediation agent to degrade lead and chromium in coal wastewater is considered quite safe.

CONCLUSION
Pb (lead) and Cr (chromium) are heavy metals that accumulate in tissues over time and can impair organisms' metabolic systems.They also have magnifying qualities because their concentration increases with trophic level in the food chain.The accumulation and magnifying process will upset the environmental balance.Bioremediation of chromium (Cr) and lead (Pb) from liquid coal waste is an attempt to remove or minimise chromium and lead pollution in the environment by utilising native (indigenous) microorganisms.
The bioremediation study of liquid coal waste using native bacteria was effective in reducing Pb and Cr levels, as well as identifying native bacteria Chromobacterium haemolyticum strain W15.
