Abstract

Improving the quality of compost paper is important to increase the availability of nutrients and reduce heavy metals. The quality of compost paper can be improved by using Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, which can help mineralize nutrients and break down or convert heavy metals into less harmful forms. This study used a completely randomized design with five treatments in different concentrations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria (10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%). The analysis parameters used were pH H2O, Total N, organic C, C:N, Pb and Hg in the resulting compost. The results showed that the KK3 treatment produced higher pH H2O and Total N than other treatments. The availability of Pb metal on KK3 produced a relatively smaller value compared to other treatments, likewise, although it was not significantly different from C. The correlation results showed no significant relationship (p>0.05) between increasing doses of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the availability of nutrients and heavy metals. The mineralization and incubation processes were factors in the study of improving the quality of compost by using Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract

Chili anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum spp., remains a major threat to crop productivity and fruit quality worldwide. The increasing resistance of fungal pathogens to synthetic fungicides highlights the need for sustainable, plant-based alternatives. This study provides computational insights into the antifungal mechanisms of coumarin and hexanol, two major bioactive compounds derived from Ageratum conyzoides and Cyperus rotundus. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were employed to examine the interactions of these compounds with key Colletotrichum proteins, including calmodulin, PETFP cutinase complex, and chitin deacetylase. The docking results revealed that coumarin exhibited stronger binding affinities and more stable conformations within the enzyme active sites than hexanol, forming multiple hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions with catalytic residues. Molecular dynamics analyses further confirmed the structural stability and compactness of coumarin–protein complexes, indicating its potential to disrupt fungal enzymatic functions critical for pathogenicity. These findings suggest that coumarin, in particular, may serve as a promising lead compound for the development of eco-friendly antifungal agents. The study contributes to a molecular-level understanding of plant-derived antifungal mechanisms, supporting future research into the rational design and optimization of biofungicides for sustainable agriculture.
