Class Project 1: City Case Studies
In this project student groups will assess and compare regulation and policy for a sample group of cities. The foundation for this work is collection by student groups of all key documents used in local land regulation in their case study community. Groups of 2 students will participate in each case study project. Student groups will be expected to collect and assess all key documents used in local land regulation in their case study community. The assignment will be divided into modules, with sub-assignments handed out for each module.
The class will use the city of Boulder as a template and baseline. Through guest lectures and document review we will develop a thorough understanding of the Boulder case. This assessment will focus on residential construction addressing three development frameworks: (1) single-family residential building; (2) multi-unit residential building or subdivision that triggers land use or design review; and (3) multi-unit residential structure or subdivision that triggers environmental review. These three frameworks are intended to encompass core regulatory problems of land development in this context, and illustrate key issues of complexity, cost and conflict of regulatory compliance for participants including both developers and local governments. In addition, students will be asked to collect (1) information on physical development patterns, and (2) local media coverage of development politics. A protocol for data collection will be handed out to students when the project is assigned.
Assessment of case study documents will address the following issues: (1) number and type of development regulations and related application submittals; (2) analytical and evidentiary requirements at each submittal step; and (3) process for review of application submittals. Data will be assembled in a matrix for each case study, and then evaluated against benchmarks derived from further research and class discussions about the Boulder county case. Time requirements for compliance with development regulations will be identified. Students will write up an evaluation of each case based on the matrix and addressing key questions defined in the protocol. Students will present their findings. Comparison between sites will occur through in-class discussion.
Deliverables: (1) 8-page paper including matrix describing regulations, policies and development patterns for case study community, specifically referencing documents in the folder. (2) Folder with all relevant documents uploaded to google drive to made available to class. (3) 5-minute presentation to class with power points.

A Study in Construction Delays of Residential StructuresIRJESJOURNAL
Abstract: Delays are one of the most common problem faced by the construction industry in India and around the world. Construction delays can be caused by several reasons which can be related to owner, design, labor or could be caused by some external factors such as bad weather. The delay in construction causes time overrun which implies that the project requires additional time for completion than originally anticipated. Time overrun in turn leads to cost overrun which causes huge monetary losses. This study focuses on finding out the most common causes of construction delays in Indian context. The study was carried out in South and Central Mumbai region. A questionnaire based survey was conducted based on 43 questions spread across 9 different categories. The findings were evaluated with Relative Importance Index technique. The aim of the study was to identify various causes of delays in construction and their importance.

This document discusses factors that contribute to the success or failure of information technology (IT) projects. It summarizes that a study of over 200,000 IT projects found that only 34% were completed on time and budget, while 15% failed and 51% exceeded time or budget. Common problems that led to delays or failure included a lack of clear objectives, underestimating requirements and resources, and failing to properly structure the project into defined phases with assigned roles and responsibilities. Proper planning and execution across all phases from definition to programming is necessary to complete IT projects successfully.

Here are the answers to your guiding questions:
1a). Requirements analysis is the process of examining, refining and documenting stakeholder needs to establish agreed upon requirements that can serve as a basis for further system development.
b). The requirements analysis phase is important because it helps establish an agreed upon set of requirements that are complete, consistent and unambiguous. This helps avoid project failures that occur when developers start implementing without fully understanding customer needs. It also helps manage stakeholder expectations.
c). Eight guidelines for requirements analysis are:
1. Define system boundaries
2. Use checklists for requirements analysis
3. Provide software to support negotiations
4. Plan for conflicts and conflict resolution
5. Prioritize requirements

Scenarios
As a newly assigned project manager for the Ohio Department of Human Services, you are excited about working with technology projects throughout the state. The Ohio Department of Human Services' (ODHS) Office of Network Support (ONS) is responsible for managing the network and software applications for over 15,000 state and county agency employees throughout Ohio's 88 counties. The office coordinates software upgrades and network modifications from an operations center located in the capital, Columbus, with assistance from local technology employees in each of the county seats.
The position is not without its challenges, however. The network infrastructure throughout the state ranges from high quality, high-bandwidth connections in major population centers to older, partially working connections in the poorer, more regional counties. Additionally, budget and resources are a constant issue, with a high turnover rate among existing employees and an emphasis on outsourcing the labor force to several vendors to accomplish the myriad of support and project tasks. Your initial assignment is to examine the viability and costs associated with upgrading the existing e-mail, with the objective of developing the implementation project for the organization. ODHS had adopted the e-mail software called Globalupgrades (a Worldviewupgrades product) as its e-mail standard in 1994 and executed minor upgrades since then. However, the latest version of Globalupgrades, Version 9.0, contains significant enhancements desired by the ODHS user base, and the existing Version 7.0’s support will be phased out in the next year by Worldviewupgrades. The Worldviewupgrades sales representatives have been offering discounts for a Version 9.0 license, but the costs are approximately 20% more than previous licenses. Additionally, several other e-mail product vendors are lobbying state officials for business, some of them offering significant incentives. Generally, these products are viewed as less robust than Globalupgrades, but there are some segments of the user community that are supportive of these other options.
You are reviewing the existing documentation on the current state of the e-mail system, including license agreements and the Worldviewupgrades Globalupgrades 9.0 preliminary proposal. You are also examining the staffing structure and developing ideas on how to accomplish this task. In two weeks, you will need to brief the ONS Director on your planned approach to completing this effort.

This document is a term paper submitted by Muhammad Daniyal to fulfill the requirements of a Masters in Engineering Management course. The paper assesses the state of design completeness in the construction industry. It identifies factors that lead to major changes in design during construction and causes of delays. The author conducted a literature review and questionnaire survey of industry professionals to gather data. Statistical analysis was performed on the survey responses. Key findings included that design often relies on client briefs that are occasionally provided and frequently changed. Specifications are not consistently tailored for projects. Changes are commonly initiated by clients after design is finalized. The author recommends clients provide clear briefs upfront, standards be adopted for design documentation, and contractor input be obtained earlier to improve
Public safety is undergoing a revolution in situation awareness due to the inclusion of multimedia. Unfortunately, many public safety communication networks were not designed or envisioned to support multimedia and the wealth of other data intensive applications.

This document discusses guidelines for managing geotechnical risks in design-build projects. It provides details on available risk mitigation strategies and tools that can be implemented at different stages of a project. Some key tools discussed include developing a geotechnical baseline report, conducting competitor designated borings, using a scope validation period, and issuing multiple notices to proceed to allow geotechnical investigation and design to occur before full project scope is released. The document is intended to help transportation agencies implement effective practices for allocating geotechnical risks between owners and contractors on design-build projects.

This document discusses factors that contribute to the success or failure of information technology (IT) projects. It summarizes that a study of over 200,000 IT projects found that only 34% were completed on time and budget, while 15% failed and 51% exceeded time or budget. Common problems that led to delays or failure included a lack of clear objectives, underestimating requirements and resources, and failing to properly structure the project into defined phases with assigned roles and responsibilities. Proper planning and execution across all phases from definition to programming is necessary to complete IT projects successfully.

Here are the answers to your guiding questions:
1a). Requirements analysis is the process of examining, refining and documenting stakeholder needs to establish agreed upon requirements that can serve as a basis for further system development.
b). The requirements analysis phase is important because it helps establish an agreed upon set of requirements that are complete, consistent and unambiguous. This helps avoid project failures that occur when developers start implementing without fully understanding customer needs. It also helps manage stakeholder expectations.
c). Eight guidelines for requirements analysis are:
1. Define system boundaries
2. Use checklists for requirements analysis
3. Provide software to support negotiations
4. Plan for conflicts and conflict resolution
5. Prioritize requirements

Scenarios
As a newly assigned project manager for the Ohio Department of Human Services, you are excited about working with technology projects throughout the state. The Ohio Department of Human Services' (ODHS) Office of Network Support (ONS) is responsible for managing the network and software applications for over 15,000 state and county agency employees throughout Ohio's 88 counties. The office coordinates software upgrades and network modifications from an operations center located in the capital, Columbus, with assistance from local technology employees in each of the county seats.
The position is not without its challenges, however. The network infrastructure throughout the state ranges from high quality, high-bandwidth connections in major population centers to older, partially working connections in the poorer, more regional counties. Additionally, budget and resources are a constant issue, with a high turnover rate among existing employees and an emphasis on outsourcing the labor force to several vendors to accomplish the myriad of support and project tasks. Your initial assignment is to examine the viability and costs associated with upgrading the existing e-mail, with the objective of developing the implementation project for the organization. ODHS had adopted the e-mail software called Globalupgrades (a Worldviewupgrades product) as its e-mail standard in 1994 and executed minor upgrades since then. However, the latest version of Globalupgrades, Version 9.0, contains significant enhancements desired by the ODHS user base, and the existing Version 7.0’s support will be phased out in the next year by Worldviewupgrades. The Worldviewupgrades sales representatives have been offering discounts for a Version 9.0 license, but the costs are approximately 20% more than previous licenses. Additionally, several other e-mail product vendors are lobbying state officials for business, some of them offering significant incentives. Generally, these products are viewed as less robust than Globalupgrades, but there are some segments of the user community that are supportive of these other options.
You are reviewing the existing documentation on the current state of the e-mail system, including license agreements and the Worldviewupgrades Globalupgrades 9.0 preliminary proposal. You are also examining the staffing structure and developing ideas on how to accomplish this task. In two weeks, you will need to brief the ONS Director on your planned approach to completing this effort.

This document is a term paper submitted by Muhammad Daniyal to fulfill the requirements of a Masters in Engineering Management course. The paper assesses the state of design completeness in the construction industry. It identifies factors that lead to major changes in design during construction and causes of delays. The author conducted a literature review and questionnaire survey of industry professionals to gather data. Statistical analysis was performed on the survey responses. Key findings included that design often relies on client briefs that are occasionally provided and frequently changed. Specifications are not consistently tailored for projects. Changes are commonly initiated by clients after design is finalized. The author recommends clients provide clear briefs upfront, standards be adopted for design documentation, and contractor input be obtained earlier to improve

Learning Activity #1Joe Jackson owned a sawmill in Stuttgart, Arka.docxVinaOconner450
Learning Activity #1
Joe Jackson owned a sawmill in Stuttgart, Arkansas. It was a family business that had not changed in 50 years. Having grown up in the business, Joe had never really investigated the strengths and weaknesses of his position as Vice President. His father was always the President and he and his older brother Jacob were the heirs. The business was in turmoil because his father’s health was precarious and he was forced to step down. Joe’s brother was expecting to step up to the role of Vice President but Joe knew that was a mistake. The business itself was being quickly eroded because of the sustainability issues facing the world. Joe could see this but not Jacob. Joe needed to have a long talk with Jacob to make him see reason. Either they worked together for the future or Joe would have to take the lead role.
TASK:
Prepare an outline of points for Joe to make in his discussion with his brother. Explain the role of the 21
st

th
century leader. Make sure to reference your reading material to validate the points you make.

After reading the background information below, explain what you think Dean Adams’ role should be in light of this quote; the leaders or the manager’s? Identify the two roles leader and manager. Be sure to include in your comments the different solutions that may result from a leader's perspective and that of the manager's perspective as well as where they overlap. Finally, suggest which role’s perspective is best for Adam and the organization and why.
Background: Studer International
At 7:30
a.m.,
Dean Adams hit the snooze alarm for the third time, but he knew he could never go back to sleep. Rubbing his eyes and shaking off a headache, Adams first checked his BlackBerry and read an urgent message from his boss, explaining that Sue Chan, chief security analyst, had resigned this morning and needed to be replaced immediately. Frustrated, Adams lumbered toward the shower, hoping it would energize him to face another day. After last night’s management meeting, which had ended after midnight, he was reeling from the news that his Wall Street employer, Studer International, was spiraling toward a financial meltdown.
Adams scratched his head and wondered, “How could one of the world’s largest insurance companies plummet from being the gold standard in the industry to one struggling for survival?” At the end of 2007, Studer had $100 billion in annual revenues, 65 million customers, and 96,000 employees in 130 countries. One year later and staggered by losses stemming from the credit crisis, Studer teetered on the brink of failure and was in need of emergency government assistance. .

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Class Project 1 City Case StudiesIn this project student groups
1. Class Project 1: City Case Studies
In this project student groups will assess and compare
regulation and policy for a sample group of cities. The
foundation for this work is collection by student groups of all
key documents used in local land regulation in their case study
community. Groups of 2 students will participate in each case
study project. Student groups will be expected to collect and
assess all key documents used in local land regulation in their
case study community. The assignment will be divided into
modules, with sub-assignments handed out for each module.
The class will use the city of Boulder as a template and
baseline. Through guest lectures and document review we will
develop a thorough understanding of the Boulder case. This
assessment will focus on residential construction addressing
three development frameworks: (1) single-family residential
building; (2) multi-unit residential building or subdivision that
triggers land use or design review; and (3) multi-unit residential
structure or subdivision that triggers environmental review.
These three frameworks are intended to encompass core
regulatory problems of land development in this context, and
illustrate key issues of complexity, cost and conflict of
regulatory compliance for participants including both
developers and local governments. In addition, students will be
asked to collect (1) information on physical development
patterns, and (2) local media coverage of development politics.
A protocol for data collection will be handed out to students
when the project is assigned.
Assessment of case study documents will address the following
issues: (1) number and type of development regulations and
related application submittals; (2) analytical and evidentiary
requirements at each submittal step; and (3) process for review
of application submittals. Data will be assembled in a matrix for
each case study, and then evaluated against benchmarks derived
from further research and class discussions about the Boulder
2. county case. Time requirements for compliance with
development regulations will be identified. Students will write
up an evaluation of each case based on the matrix and
addressing key questions defined in the protocol. Students will
present their findings. Comparison between sites will occur
through in-class discussion.
Deliverables: (1) 8-page paper including matrix describing
regulations, policies and development patterns for case study
community, specifically referencing documents in the folder.
(2) Folder with all relevant documents uploaded to google drive
to made available to class. (3) 5-minute presentation to class
with power points.

ABSTRACT
Diesel oil contains compounds that can cause harm to humans
and the environment. Hence, biodegradation method is an
alternative way to reduce the pollution caused by diesel oil. The
aim of this study is to determine the diesel oil degradation by
soil bacteria amended with food wastes in the flasks system. It
also aims to determine the food wastes such as sugarcane
bagasse and fishbone to enhance the biodegradation of diesel
oil. The degradation analysis was performed in an enrichment
culture flask containing soil, diesel oil with the addition of food
waste. The degradation analysis was carried out for 42 days
at 30°C at 150 rpm. The bacteria was isolated and identified
based on colony morphology and biochemical tests. Five
potential
diesel oil-degrading bacteria were preliminary identified as
Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella
species, Shewanella putrefaciens and Bacillus cereus. Diesel oil
degradation compound was analyzed using Gas
Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry. Four compounds namely
styrene, ethanol, 2-butoxy, benzene, 1-ethyl-2, 3-dimethyl
and benzene 1-ethyl-2, 3-dimethyl showed degradation by
bacteria amended with food wastes. The results of this study
demonstrate the potential use of food wastes such as sugarcane
bagasse and fish bone as substrates for enhancing the
remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil.

INTRODUCTION
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) pollution
is one of the most serious problems affecting the
world nowadays. The widespread of the PAHs in
17. the environment may cause negative effect on
human health such as hamper body defense
system, stimulate cancer growth and can cause
death (Mumtaz & George, 1996). Analysis done
by Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry shows that 17 groups of PAHs have bad
consequences on human health (Buha, 2011).
Therefore, to reduce the amount of PAHs in the
environment, a bioremediation method was
developed. Bioremediation is considered as
promising environmental friendly treatment to
remediate hydrocarbon compounds. It has the
capability to reduce the toxic substance to non-toxic
substance as the end product. Besides that, the
technique is safe and give the complete
mineralization of pollutant without affecting the
natural ecosystem.
PAHs pollution in the environment can be
reduced using PAHs-degrading bacteria. However,
bioremediation has some drawbacks such as the low
abundance, diversity and activity of indigenous
hydrocarbon degrading bacteria and also their slow
growth rates. Therefore, food waste composting was
developed as a cost-effective and highly efficient
tool in biodegradation of hydrocarbon pollution site.
This is one of the methods by adding valuable
nutrient contain in the food waste such as nitrogen,
phosphorus, and carbon to their environment and to
enhance the rate of PAHs degradation. Besides
increasing PAH decomposition rate, the food waste
accumulation in the environment can be reduced.
The objective of this study is to determine the diesel
oil degradation by soil bacteria with amended with
food wastes in the flasks system. It is also to
18. determine the potential food wastes such as
36 DEGRADATION OF DIESEL OIL BY SOIL BACTERIA
sugarcane bagasse and fishbone for enhanced
biodegrading of diesel oil.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Sample Collection
The soil sample was collected from diesel oil
contaminated soil at motorcycle service in Kuala
Terengganu, Malaysia. The soil sample was
collected from 10 cm subsurface of the soil using a
sterile spatula. The temperature and pH of the soil
was measured. Diesel oil was collected at a petrol
station area in Kuala Terengganu. Food wastes such
as sugarcane bagasse and fishbone were collected
from canteens at Universiti Malaysia Terengganu.
The food wastes were dried at 90°C and blended to
make a powder.
Enrichment of diesel oil-degrading bacteria
The enrichment culture (EC) composed of
22.5 g of soil sample and 15 ml of diesel oil. Then,
flasks C and C1 were filled with 112.5 ml of mineral
salt medium (MSM) whereas the other flasks were
filled with 105 ml of MSM. MSM consisted of
the following composition: 0.2 gL-1 of MgSO, 0.02
gL-1 of CaCl, 1.0 gL-1 of KHPO, 1.0 gL-1 of KHPO,
1.0 gL-1 of NHNO and 0.05 gL-1 FeCl. The flasks
were then left undisturbed for 2 days. After 2 days
19. of incubation, 7.5 gL-1 of sugarcane bagasse powder
was added into flasks A and A1 while the same
amount of fishbone powder was added into flasks B
and B1. Flasks C and C1 served as control. The
enrichment culture was shaken at 150 rpm (Abioye
et al., 2010).
Diesel oil extraction from medium
The diesel oil was extracted at every 7 days
intervals for 42 days. The enrichment culture (EC)
was suspended with n-hexane (1:1 ratio). The
suspension was homogenized for 1 hour and then
centrifuged at 150 rpm for 5 minutes. The upper
layer of supernatant obtained was resuspended with
1:1 ratio of supernatant to n-hexane. The funnel was
shaken gently by inverting. The upper phase was
collected and evaporated using a rotary evaporator.
The diesel oil extracted was stored at 4°C for further
analysis.
Enumeration of diesel oil-degrading bacteria
EC was collected every 7 days for the
enumeration of diesel oil- degrading bacteria. The
EC was serially diluted and 0.1 ml of diluted sample
was transferred to nutrient agar (NA) plates using the
spread plate method. The CFU/ml of sample was
calculated using the formula below:
number of colonies
Total number of bacteria =
(dilution factor) x (actual volume plated)
Screening for diesel oil biodegradation
20. The extracted diesel oil was diluted to 1 ppm.
The diluted samples were filtered using 0.45 µm
PTFE membrane filter before injecting into the GC-
MS (QP2010 ultra). The analysis conditions for the
GC-MS are shown in Table 1.
The degradation percentage of the diesel oil
compound was calculated using the modified
formula (Deng et al., 2014):

Identification of diesel oil-degrading bacteria
The diluted samples were transferred to oil agar
(OA) and incubated for 24 hours at 30°C. The
bacterial colonies with the clear clearing zones on
OA were isolated and sub cultured on nutrient agar.
Further sub-culturing of bacteria was conducted until
pure isolates was were obtained. The isolated
bacteria were identified using Gram staining
technique and the cell morphology of bacterium was
recorded. The bacterial species was further
identified using BBL Crystal Identification Kit
(Fisher Scientific, USA) as per the manufacturer’s
instructions. A single pure bacteria colony was
suspended in an inoculum fluid tube and then filled
into the target area of the base. The inoculum was
rolled gently along the tracks and the panel, closed
with a lid and incubated at 37°C. The isolated
bacterium was identified using BBL Crystal MIND.
RESULTS
Effect of the addition of food waste into the flask
22. system on the growth of bacteria
The bacterial growth curves for all the flasks
show the same pattern, which steadily increase and
then gradually decrease, after reaching their
respective peaks (Figure 1). The flask containing
sugarcane bagasse (SB) show the highest growth
rate at week 3 compared to the flask system
containing fishbone (FB). All the flask systems show
approximately the same viable cell count at week 1
and week 2. The bacterial count of the flask system
containing SB slightly increases from 2.89 x 109
CFU/ml at week 1 to 1.58 x 1011 CFU/ml at week 3
and the bacterial count of the flask system without
any food waste increases from 2.70 x 109 CFU/ml at
week 1 to 4.95 x 1010 CFU/ml at week 3. On the
other hand, the bacterial count of the flask system
containing fishbone slightly increases from 2.81 x
109 CFU/ml at week 1 to 9.55 x 1011 CFU/ml at week
3 (Figure 1).
Effect of addition of food waste on pH value in
flasks system
The pH of the shake flask containing fish bone
and sugarcane bagasse were dropped at week 5 to
pH 5.75 and 5.96 respectively, whereas pH for
control did not show significant changes during the
incubation period (Figure 2).
Identification of diesel oil- degrading bacteria
Physiological characteristics in Table 2 shows
that there were four Gram-negative bacteria and one
23. Gram-positive bacterium that had been identified.
Isolate 2 and Isolate 3 showed negative result for
oxidase test while all isolates showed negative result
for indole test. All of the isolated bacteria are white
in colour with a circular form. These isolated
bacteria had an entire margin and bacillus shape.
The elevation of Isolate 2, Isolate 3, Isolate 4, and
Isolate 5 are raised, whereas Isolate 1 is convex.

Table 3 shows the isolated bacteria identified
using the BBL Crystal Identification Kit. It shows
that, five potential diesel oil-degrading bacteria
known as Pseudomonas fluorescens, Klebsiella
species, Shewanella putrefaciens, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, and Bacillus cereus has been pre-
liminarily identified.
Effect of the addition of food waste on the
degradation rate of the diesel oil compounds
In this study, it was demonstrated that the flask
containing sugarcane bagasse shows the highest
degradation rate for compounds styrene and ethanol,
2-butoxy but has the lowest degradation rate for
benzene, 1-ethyl-2, 3-dimethyl. However, the flask
containing fishbone shows the highest degradation
rate for compound benzene, 1-ethyl-2, 3-dimethyl
and the lowest degradation rate for compound
styrene.
DISCUSSION
According to Figure 1, the counts of diesel oil-
degrading bacteria shows a normal bacterial growth
25. curve, which consists of four phases. It begins with
the lag phase, followed by the log phase, stationary
phase and it ends with a decline phase. During week
DEGRADATION OF DIESEL OIL BY SOIL BACTERIA 39
1 and week 2 of incubation, the bacteria are trying
to adapt to the new environment. Then, the bacterial
growth was increased exponentially in week 3 as it
had been adapted to the environment. At this stage,
bacterial cells are most metabolically active and are
able to utilize the diesel oil in the medium. However,
the bacterial growth was decreased at week 4 and
week 5 due to the limited nutrient supply, which is
a decrement in diesel oil concentration and
accumulation of toxic wastes produced by the
bacteria in the medium. Unlike the bacteria in the
flask system containing sugarcane bagasse and
fishbone, bacteria in the flask system without food
waste grew slower because there was no additional
nutrient compared to flask system containing food
waste. This finding was supported by Agarry (2018),
who stated that amendments of organic and
inorganic nutrients might enhance microbial
growth, which can promote the efficiency of
hydrocarbon degradation.
The amendments of food waste in the
enrichment medium promoted the growth of the
bacteria population. This is because the sugarcane
bagasse and fishbone provide valuable nutrients for
the bacteria to grow (Ibrahim et al., 2016). In terms
of nutrient composition, sugarcane bagasse is made
up of 40% cellulose, 35% hemicellulose and 15%
26. lignin, which contain a carbon source for bacteria
to get energy (Alves Da Costa et al., 2015).
Fishbone also has a high content of natural calcium
and phosphorus (Malde et al., 2010). Therefore,
with the amendments of the food waste in the
enrichment medium, it may enhance the biological
activity of bacteria, which is a necessary nutrient
for biodegradation activities by the bacteria.
Normally, the efficiency for bacteria in undergoing
biodegradation is affected by the conditions that are
favorable for the bacteria. In this study, organic
matter content from food waste supplies enough
nutrients for the bacteria to grow. Therefore, it may
contribute to the efficiency of diesel oil degradation
as well as some minerals needed for enhancing the
biodegradation activities (Das & Chandran, 2011).
Based on Figure 2, the graph shows a slight
decrease in pH after week 3 because the bacteria had
reached their decline phase. This stage is attained
due to the depletion of nutrients and accumulation
of metabolic waste products by the bacteria in the
media. This condition facilitates the bacteria to
move on to the death phase. Besides, bacteria will
utilize the compounds in the diesel fuel as a carbon
source for growth. Thus, it will produce metabolite
byproducts after utilizing the compound. This
metabolite byproduct, metabolic wastes, dead
bacteria and toxic materials will cause the
environment to be acidic.
In this study, the isolated diesel oil -degrading
bacteria were preliminary identified are Pseudo-
monas fluorescens, Klebsiella species, Shewanella
putrefaciens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and
27. Bacillus cereus. These identified bacteria have
utilized the compounds in diesel oil as sole source
of carbon and energy source for growth. Potential
oil degraders such as Pseudomonas fluorescens
have shown the properties of high biodegradability
of an aliphatic hydrocarbon and low as well as slow
biodegradation of aromatic hydrocarbon (Sepic
et al., 1997). Apart from that, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa is well-known for its degradation ability.
Various studies showed that P. aeruginosa is able
to degrade crude oil and oil sludge approximately
by 70% (Zhang et al., 2005; Das & Chandran, 2011;
Al-Wasify & Hamed, 2014). Klebsiella species
shows ability to degrade toluene, xylene,
naphthalene, and nonane (Rodrigues et al., 2009).
It is believed that Klebsiella species isolated in this
study also have the capability to degrade diesel oil.
However, Shewanella putrefaciens have been
reported as crude oil degrader in coastal seawater and
sea ice (Das & Das, 2015). Bacillus cereus is a Gram-
positive bacterium that is widely distributed
environmentally. Bacillus species have been
reported to be capable of utilizing phenanthrene,
anthracene, and pyrene as carbon sources (Dou et
al., 2010; Fazilah et al., 2016; Rao et al., 2015).
The percentage of diesel oil biodegradation in
the three flask systems is shown in Figure 3. The
degradation rate of styrene, ethanol-2-butoxy, and
benzene, 1-ethyl-2, 3-dimethyl for flask system
without food wastes is 5%, 10.7% and 9.5%
respectively. For the flask system containing
sugarcane bagasse, the degradation rate of styrene,
ethanol-2-butoxy, and benzene, 1-ethyl-2, 3-
dimethyl is 12.8%, 18.4%, and 0.1% respectively.
While, for the degradation rates of flask system
28. containing fishbone for styrene, ethanol-2-butoxy,
and benzene, 1-ethyl-2, 3-dimethyl is 4.2%, 14.1%,
and 13.9% respectively. The flask system
containing the food waste has increased the
degradation rate of styrene, ethanol-2-butoxy, and
benzene, 1-ethyl-2, 3-dimethyl. However, not all the
compounds show the same variations. For styrene,
the flask system containing sugarcane bagasse
enhances the degradation of styrene by 8.6%, but
the flask system containing the fishbone has
decreased the degradation rate of styrene by 0.8%.
This is due to the concentration of nutrients such
as calcium and phosphorus provided by the fishbone
is too high for Pseudomonas fluorescens, which
eventually inhibits the degradation of the styrene
(Beltrametti et al., 1997; Das & Chandran, 2011;
Lang et al., 2016). The degradation rate of ethanol,
2-butoxy for the flask system containing food waste
is higher than the flask system without the food
waste. This shows that sugarcane bagasse and
fishbone have enhanced the degradation rate of

Fig. 3. Degradation percentage (%) of the compounds in diesel
oil (styrene, ethanol,
2-butoxy, and benzene, 1-ethyl-2, 3-dimethyl-) in the flask
containing sugarcane bagasse
and fishbone and flask without food waste (control).
ethanol, 2-butoxy by 7.7% and 3.4% respectively.
Then, the degradation rate of benzene, 1-ethyl-2, 3-
dimethyl in the flask system containing sugarcane
bagasse is inhibited. However, the flask system
29. containing fishbone shows enhancement of 4.4%
for the degradation rate of benzene, 1-ethyl-2, 3-
dimethyl. This is because the sugarcane bagasse
powder is easily absorbed by the bacteria
responsible for degrading benzene, 1-ethyl-2, 3-
dimethyl. Hence, it becomes the competitor for the
bacteria to utilize it as a carbon source for growth.
CONCLUSION
The results of this study shows the addition of food
waste to the flask system enhanced the growth rate
of bacteria and increased the degradation rate of
the compounds in diesel oil. Four compounds such
as styrene, ethanol, 2-butoxy, benzene, 1-ethyl-2,
3-dimethyl and benzene 1-ethyl-2, 3-dimethyl
showed degradation by bacteria with amended with
food wastes. Five potential diesel oil-degrading
bacteria have been identified as Pseudomonas
fluorescens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shewanella
putrefacians, Klebsiella species and Bacillus cereus.
These preliminary results highlighted the potential
application of sugarcane bagasse and fish bone
for enhancing the biodegradation of diesel oil
contaminated soil.
