ABSTRACT
Response surface analysis was conducted
to optimize the concentrations of Tapis crude oil and duration of
incubation in order to achieve optimal microbial growth and crude
oil biodegradation. Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) was employed, where the
design contained 13 experimental runs with different combinations
of incubation time and crude oil concentration. The cultures containing
mineral salt medium (MSM)
with varying crude oil concentrations were incubated at 30°C,
pH6.5 with 150 rpm agitation for 120-336 h. The inoculum contained
a consortium of previously identified as oil degrading bacteria
and fungi, namely Pseudomonas aeruginosa UKMP-14T,
Acinetobacter baumannii UKMP-12T and Trichoderma
sp. UKMP-1M and UKMP-2M. The analysis showed the
duration of incubation plays a significant role (p<0.05) in affecting the bacterial growth
and percentage of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH)
biodegradation, meanwhile concentrations of Tapis crude oil has
insignificant effect on the responses. Interaction of the two variables
was found to be significant in affecting all the three responses,
namely bacterial population, fungal biomass and percentage of TPH biodegradation. It was predicted
through the CCRD that the percentage of biodegradation
can be optimized to reach 86% on the 270th h when 5% (v/v) crude
oil was used. This predicted value was verified to be achievable
and reproducible through validation experiments.

ABSTRAK
Analisis gerak
balas permukaan digunakan untuk mengoptimumkan kepekatan minyak
mentah Tapis (yang ditemui dalam perairan Malaysia) dan tempoh pengeraman
untuk mencapai pertumbuhan mikrob dan biodegradasi minyak mentah
yang optimum. Reka Bentuk Gubahan Memusat Berputar (CCRD)
telah digunakan, dengan 13 larian reka bentuk eksperimen kombinasi
kepekatan minyak mentah dan tempoh pengeraman yang berbeza.
Kultur yang ditumbuhkan dalam medium garam mineral (MSM) dengan kepekatan minyak mentah
yang berbeza dieram pada suhu 30°C dan pH6.5 dengan kadar
goncangan 150 psm bagi tempoh eraman 120-336 jam. Inokulum yang
digunakan mengandungi konsortium bakteria dan kulat pengurai minyak
yang telah dikenal pasti dalam kajian sebelumnya, iaitu Pseudomonas
aeruginosa UKMP-14T,
Acinetobacter baumannii UKMP-12T dan Trichoderma
sp. UKMP-1M dan UKMP-2M. Hasil
analisis menunjukkan tempoh masa eraman memainkan peranan yang signifikan
(p<0.05) dalam mempengaruhi
pertumbuhan bakteria dan peratus biodegradasi, manakala kepekatan
minyak mentah Tapis tidak memainkan peranan yang signifikan.
Interaksi antara dua pemboleh ubah juga didapati mempunyai kesan
yang signifikan ke atas ketiga-tiga gerak balas yang dikaji, iaitu
populasi bakteria, biojisim kulat dan peratus biodegradasi minyak
mentah. Berdasarkan perisian CCRD, peratus biodegradasi yang optimum,
iaitu 86% boleh dicapai pada jam yang ke-270 apabila 5% (v/v) minyak
mentah digunakan. Jangkaan kombinasi optimum
ini telah diuji dan disahkan melalui eksperimen.
