The bacteria that could be grown on tributyrin agar supplemented with 1% palm oil and produced a wide clear zone were selected. These selected bacterial isolates were tested for lipase activity, among them, the isolate PKRU-9 had the highest lipase activity. Then, the optimum conditions for lipase production of the PKRU-9 were optimized. The maximum lipase production was obtained when PKRU-9 was cultured in a basal medium containing 0.5% yeast extract as a nitrogen source and 0.5% soybean oil as a carbon source at 200 rpm. After cultivation for 54h, the maximum lipase production was reached. Treatment of wastewater contaminated with lipid of PKRU-9 was studied by culturing the bacterium in synthetic wastewater medium containing 1% palm oil, and in wastewater contaminated with fat. PKRU-9 was able to decrease the value of BOD5 by 74% and 90%, respectively comparing to the starting BOD5. The highest percent reduction of BOD5 was found on day 3 of cultivation. These results suggested that the PKRU-9 has the potential to be used for treating municipal wastewater contaminated with fat.","PeriodicalId":426475,"journal":{"name":"ASEAN Journal of Scientific and Technological Reports","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126193037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research population was a group of 172 finishing pig farmers at Mueang District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. The sample of 120 were selected using a multistage sampling formula in which reliability and validity assessed questionnaires were used. The results showed that 55% of the samples are female farmers approximately aged 58 years old, with primary education, raising pigs as the main career with an average monthly income at 23,588 Baht and average monthly farming expense at 11,599 Baht.

These indicate that farming areas have highly positive opinion because of adequate utility and good quality of drinking water resources and relatively high on the distribution and returns as it is a major household income. The funding has a low score because of inadequate funding and the government service needs an improvement.
