The Morphology Identification of Rhizobacterial Candidates for Enhanced Rhizodegradation

Leachate is produced by landfills at vast rates, and the treatment is often inadequate and costly. The biological treatment is the one technology that can reduce the contaminant of the leachate. This study focuses on the species rhizobacteria that are resistant and have the potential for treated leachate. Rhizobacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere area from Cyperus papyrus and Typha angustifolia that showered with leachate. All bacteria have been identified and it showed that there are 1994 species in 2 plants. The morphology and the density identified selected bacteria from 2 plants before being used in the treatment reactor. The rhizobacteria are Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, and Nitrosomonas sp. Each bacteria has the potency to treat leachate. Research is now required to optimize these potential bacteria further to achieve discharge limits for the leachate parameter.
