Interaction between Eichornia crassipes with Microbacterium sp. SpR3 and Micrococcus luteus RT-9 in Cr6+ reduction in liquid media

Abstract. Wulandari AD, Meitiniarti VI, Kasmiyati S. 2024. Interaction between Eichornia crassipes with Microbacterium sp. SpR3 and Micrococcus luteus RT-9 in Cr6+ reduction in liquid media. Biodiversitas 25: 957-963. Water Pollution caused by Cr6+ contamination is difficult to remove from the environment. One of the efforts to reduce Cr6+ contamination in water is by bioremediation. Bioremediation using the interaction of rhizosphere bacteria with aquatic plants can be employed to decrease the content of Cr6+ in water environment. This study aimed to determine the effect of adding Microbacterium sp. SpR3, Micrococcus luteus RT-9, and a mixture of both bacteria on the ability of Eichornia crassipes to reduce the concentration of Cr6+ in the growth media and the plant's growth potential. This study was conducted in the Microbiology Laboratory of the Faculty of Biology at Satya Wacana Christian University. Eichornia crassipes plans of similar size were grown in 450 mL of Hoaglands solution with Cr6+ 5 mg.L-1 in a container. The treatment in this study involves the addition of 50 mL (10% of the working volume) of Microbacterium sp SpR3 culture, Micrococcus luteus RT- 9, and a combination of both Cr6+-reducing bacteria. The reduction rate of Cr6+ concentration in the mixture of both types of bacteria reached 88.06%, which was higher compared to the control without the addition of the inoculum (87.08%). The inoculation of both Cr6+ reducing bacteria did not hibit the growth rate of the plants. The ability of Microbacterium sp. SpR3 and Micrococcus luteus RT-9 to reduce Cr6+ in liquid media can be employed in the bioremediation of Cr6+ contaminated wastewater.

Coping with Thesis Writing: An Analysis of Stress Management Techniques in Higher Education

This research explores the relationship between Problem-Focused Coping and Academic Stress among students at Satya Wacana Christian University. In an academic environment where students face immense pressure, particularly during the thesis-writing phase, understanding how coping strategies impact stress levels is crucial. The study involves 145 students, predominantly female, from different faculties, who were surveyed using the Academic Stress Scale and Problem-Focused Coping Scale. The research adopts a quantitative approach with a correlational design to analyze the relationship between coping mechanisms and stress levels. Key findings indicate a diverse range of coping capabilities among students, with a majority scoring medium on the Problem-Focused Coping scale. However, a significant minority demonstrates high coping abilities, suggesting variable stress management skills as per Lazarus and Folkman’s transactional model. Alarmingly, 63% of the participants scored high in the Academic Stress category, underlining the prevalent stress challenges faced by students. Statistical analysis reveals a non-normal distribution of both coping and stress levels, hinting at unique stressors in the university environment. A significant negative correlation between Problem-Focused Coping and Academic Stress, as shown by Spearman’s rho results, supports the hypothesis that effective coping strategies can alleviate stress. The study contributes to the existing literature on stress management in academic settings by highlighting the protective role of Problem-Focused Coping against Academic Stress. It underscores the importance of developing robust coping strategies to aid students in managing academic pressures, particularly during critical phases like thesis writing. The findings also suggest the potential for interventions to enhance Problem-Focused Coping strategies, thereby supporting student well-being and academic success.
