Plastic waste that pollutes the ocean will lead a degradation process until it becomes small particles measuring less than 5 mm called microplastics. The durability and microscopic properties of microplastics can have a harmful effect on mangrove, seagrass, and coral reef ecosystems. The purpose of this...

Marine Actinobacteria, including Pseudonocardia carboxydivorans, is known for producing secondary metabolites with antibacterial activity. Hexokinase, a key enzyme in the glycolytic pathway, catalyzes the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate and is crucial in cellular energy metabolism. Conversely,...

Marine sponges also known with able to produce antibiotic compounds which are widely used medically, but unfortunatelly they are difficult to cultivate en masse, so symbiont microbes that can be obtained from sponge tissue such as actinobacteria are utilized. One of marine sponge actinobacteria symbiont...

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has characteristics that it can produce protein crystals that are toxic to insects. The crystals consist of crystalline (Cry) and cytolytic (Cyt) proteins, known as δ-endotoxins. The specificity and activity of Bt on the substance are associated with the type and form of the...
