Abstract

Baluran National Park Situbondo have function to field study, and plays a role as the ecotourism area. Bekol savanna is part of Baluran National Park which has been invaded by Acacia (A. nilotica) plants. The aim of this study was to determine the diversity and abundant of the insects in A. nilotica in Bekol savannas park, Baluran national park. The research method has been employed with the make plots in the savannas dimensions of 20 x 20 m. Insect was collected by flying trap without antractan for four weeks. Insect identification was carried out at Entomology Laboratory SITH ITB. Diversty index was analyzed by Shannon’s index and abundant index with the Simpson’s index. The results showed that the 527 insects caught consisted of 5 insect orders that lived on A. nilotica in the Bekol Savanna . Diversity of insect have the range medium from H= 1,73186 – 2,29266. Insect diversity has high in the plot III and low from plot II. Abundant index was known that the familia Formicidae is dominance species with Polyrhachis sp=45,77465 % plot I, Crematogaster sp= 62,2807% plot II, Crematogaster sp= 45,45455% plot III and plot IV Crematogaster sp= 38,67925%. The low of diversity index because just many insect could live in the A. nilotica and some species likes Caryedon serattus, Zyras compressicornis, Crematogaster sp and Trigona lavaiceps was collected from four site reseach. The abundant of familia Formicidae because they have mutuallystic symbiosis with the A. nilotica. From the result we could conclude that diversity and abundant insect dependent to the plant and interaction have done.

Abstract

Yeast is a microorganism that can be found in honeycomb. Yeast identification is a process to find and identify new species. One of which is molecular identification of yeast with rDNA sequences in the ITS region. Before carrying out molecular identification, it is necessary to optimize yeast DNA amplification methods to obtain good DNA sequences that ease the yeast identification process. The purpose of this study was to discover the optimum PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)protocols for the identification of yeasts isolated from Apis mellifera honeycomb based on the ITS rDNA. This study used 3 PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) protocols, i.e., from Kanti et al. (2018), Ediningsari (2008), and Maulana (2011). This results study shows that the optimum PCR protocol was from Maulana (2011), which produced clear and whole DNA fragment luminescences.

Abstract

Madura Cattle is one breed of local cattle from Indonesia. Madura cattle are estimated to originate from a crossbreeding between Bos indicus and Bos javanicus. Another presumption is that Madura cattle are the result of a crossbreeding between B. indicus males and mixed B. javanicus or Bos taurus. Tracing the history of Madura cross and another cattle phylogenetic based on maternal lineage can be done by analyzing the variation of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA). The purpose of this study was to determine the clarity of the origin of Madura cattle based on maternal lineage using mtDNA markers Cyt b and D-loop. This research is expected to provide genetic information and the origin of Madura cattle, so that it can be used to help improve the breeding and conservation program for Madura cattle. The results of the phylogeny tree reconstruction, using the Cyt b and D-loop genes showed that Madura cattle originated from Sampang region (Polagan, Golbung, and Komis) were grouped into two types of maternal origin. Madura cattle clade I are grouped with B. indicus and B. taurus, while Madura cattle clade II are grouped with B. javanicus. A crossbreeding between B. javanicus and B. indicus is estimated to have been carried out since the entry of Hindu culture brought by the India peoples to Indonesia around 1800 years ago. The crossing between B. javanicus and B. indicus was then more intensively carried out at the time of the government's promoting the development of Ongol cattles (B. indicus) in the days of the Dutch East Indies. The length segment of Cyt b that can be amplified is 230 bp and the D-loop segment of varying length, 577 bp for the Madura 41 and 29 samples, and 624 bp for sample 32.

Abstract

The river in Wonosalam is upstream of the rivers that flow in the Mojokerto and Jombang regions. As an upstream area, monitoring water quality of the river is needed so that pollution can be detected early. Water quality monitoring activities can be carried out using benthic macroinvertebrates indicator. The purpose of this PKM activity was to introduce water quality monitoring methods used benthic macroinvertebrates as bioindicators for students in the Wonosalam sub-district area. The main target of this activity is students of SLTPN 1 Wonosalam. The method used was lecturing, direct practicing, and discussion. Introduction of the benthic macroinvertebrates as a bioindicator was carried out very well: the students were very enthusiastic in the implementation activities from beginning to end, the students were quite active in the sampling process until the identification process, there was an increase in the students knowledge about bioindicators and the students were able to distinguish groups, EPT (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera) and non-EPT. Based on benthic macroinvertebrate sampling the result showed that the value of the Sumber Bengawan river are 6.25, indicated that Sumber Bengawan river was not polluted.

Abstract

Being endemic to Borneo, the Earless monitor, Lanthanotus borneensis (Steindachner, 1878) is rarely found in its habitats due to its cryptic behavior. We provide care for confiscated animals in the Reptile House of Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense (MZB) in Cibinong, West Java, Indonesia since 2014. Little is known on its natural prey but from scattered descriptive reports. This study is aimed at documenting the feeding behavior of ten captive Earless monitors and events of predation on frogs. We set up two experiments, one with meat of Rice Field Frog, Fejervarya limnocharis, and the other with live frog of the same species. Our recorded observations ran for four weeks for the frog meat feeding experiment and followed by the frog predation experiment. Our results showed that lizards constantly accepted frog meat. Lizards tended to feed before sunset for a short period of time on the muddy soil surface, although a few individuals inconsistently fed under water. The average body mass for these lizards increased by 4.29 g and average SVL by 0.45 cm. We recorded predation on frogs in three out of ten individuals observed during this study. If F. limnocharis is confirmed to occur in the natural habitats of L. borneensis, it is possible that this frog species is among the natural prey for Earless monitors. Further studies on its natural diets should be conducted to gain in-depth knowledge essential for generating effective captive husbandry for this nationally protected species in Indonesia.

Abstract

One type of heavy metal that pollutes waters is heavy metal copper (Cu). Cu metal is basically an essential metal for living things, but with high levels of Cu metal, it can interfere with the body's metabolic processes. Therefore, there needs to be a solution to overcome Cu metal pollution in the waters. One of them is phytoremediation, or the use of plants to absorb pollutants. Spear leaf plant (Sagittaria lancifolia) is proven to be able to absorb heavy metal copper (Cu). However, the growth response is not yet known in more detail. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the growth response of pike leaf (Sagitaria lancifolia) under stress of heavy metal copper (Cu). This research is an experimental study with a completely randomized design (CRD). The experiment was conducted with 8 treatments (4 treatments with 2 tests) and 3 replications. The 4 treatments were distinguished based on differences in the concentration of Cu metal used, namely 0 mg/L, 1mg/L, 2mg/L, and 3 mg/L. The results showed that exposure to heavy metal copper (Cu) in each concentration variation and detention time variation did not have a significant effect on the growth and morphological conditions of spear leaf (Sagittaria lancifolia) plant, so this plant deserves to be used as an option in recovery efforts of water environment contaminated with heavy metal copper (Cu).Keywords – Response, Lanceleaf arrowhead, Sagittaria lancifolia, Heavy metals, Copper (Cu)

Abstract

Bioplastics are environmentally friendly plastics derived from natural materials. Bioplastics are easier to decompose when compared to commercial plastics. Bioplastics are generally made from starch contained in plants. But the use of starch as a base material has the disadvantage of producing bioplastics that are not waterproof. Therefore, it is necessary to add chitosan to improve bioplastic characteristics. Chitosan usually comes from the shell of crustacean animals, but it turns out that in fish scales waste, also contains chitosan. Fish scales are a by-product of the process of fish processing. Fish scales are only discarded and not utilized so that they become waste that can pollute the environment. Fish scales have a chitin content that can process into chitosan, which can be useful as an additional ingredient in the manufacture of bioplastics. This review aims to find out the potential of fish scales waste as chitosan in the manufacture of bioplastics. Based on the results of previous research, fish scales have a chitosan content that can use as an additional ingredient in the manufacture of bioplastics. Fish scale chitosan can form bioplastic film with characteristic brownish-yellow film. The addition of fish scale chitosan is also able to improve the water resistance of bioplastic film. Based on the results of the review can be concluded bring fish scales to have the potential as chitosan that can use in the manufacture of bioplastic.Keywords – Bioplastic, Chitosan, Fish Scales.
