Abstract

The aim of this study is to find out the kind of hydromacrophyte composition having the highest capability to reduce nitrate-phosphate pollutant and Microcystis growth in phytoremediation media using Equisetum ramosissium, Typha angustifolia and the combination of both. Microcystis were obtained from Sutami reservoir, then being inoculated in a media grown by hydromacrophytes (E. ramosissium, T. angustifolia and both of the hydromacrophytes) in the batch culture system. The number of Microcystis was counted every day within fifteen days. Abiotic factors were observe, including the concentration of nitrate using brucine-colorimetry method and orthophosphate (dissolved phosphate) using stannous chloride-colorimetry method on day 0, 6th, 12th and 15th. The growth rate of Microcystis carrying capacity and orthophosphate-nitrate levels among treatments were analysed by ANOVA test. The results showed that E. ramosissium and T. angustifolia in mono and polyculture techniques had similar potentiality to reduce the nitrate and ortophosphate. The concentrations of nitrate and orthophosphate decreased over 70 % in the 6th day after incubation. All of the treatments were able to reduce the carrying capacity of Microcystis up to 46 % , but the growth rates were similar in all media, that is, around 97-170 cells/L/day.

Abstract

Phytochelatin (PC) Enzyme has crucial role in heavy metal detoxification and homeostasis in plants. This study aimed to evaluate the genetic variation of PC synthase related to its activity based on structural comparison. We evaluated PC genes and protein sequences from 6 plants namely, Brassica sp., Amaranthus sp., Noccaea sp., Arabidopsis sp., Nicotiana sp., and Pteris sp. All sequences were aligned based on CLUSTALW matrix for DN sequences and MUSCLE algorithm for protein sequences. Data were clustered using MEGA Software for similarity clustering. Selected data were further modeled using SWISSMODEL to evaluate the 3D-structural analysis based on homology modeling. Thus, all protein models were superimposed and evaluated the structure comparison based on RMSD data. The result showed that genetic variation of PC gene is high among species. But it is clustered for the same species has similar sequence. In addition, protein sequences also showed the high diversity among species and it is still clustered based on their genus. RMSD data showed that PC synthase from 6 plant has similar structure and tend to conserved even there is genetic variation or amino acid modification. We concluded that structural of PC gene is more conserved than its sequences. It is important to keep its function among species.

Abstract

The study proposed identifying the changes in bacterial community and diversity and exploring the potential correlations among sediments parameters and benthic bacterial communities under different mangrove ecosystems rehabilitation statuses. There were three sites: 1. Banyuurip Mangrove Center (BMC) as a restoration site; 2. Pulau Lusi (PL) as a degraded site; and 3. Kampung Blekok (KB) as natural site. The physicochemical parameters and benthic bacteria from the mangrove sediment of the three locations were observed. The data were analyzed statistically to determine the sites' variation and the correlation between parameters. The results found that the physicochemical parameters among restoration sites varied. Soil organic matter (SOM) in natural and restoration sites was significantly higher than in degraded sites. Cation exchange capacity (CEC), calcium and potassium ions, and soil conductivity of the restoration site were considerably higher than the other sites. According to diversity indices and taxa richness, benthic bacteria in the restoration were the most diverse. Proteobacteria dominated in natural and restoration sites; meanwhile, Firmicutes dominated in degraded site. Sulfurovum aggregans was found abundant in natural and restoration sites; meanwhile, Mesobacillus subterraneus was the dominant species in the degraded site. Furthermore, the bacterial taxa richness was positively correlated with SOM and the bacterial diversity was correlated with CEC and conductivity.

Abstract

Avicennia marina is a species of mangrove that has been studied extensively for its capability to uptake and accumulate heavy metals. Since Avicennia marina was found in the Wonorejo Mangrove ecosystem, which confirmed received anthropogenic inputs from Surabaya as the second largest city in Indonesia, the effectivity of bioaccumulation and translocation metals Cd, Zn, and Pb was studied. The sediments, roots, stems and leaves of Avicennia marina were collected in three sites in Wonorejo Mangrove Ecosystem, East Surabaya. The measurement of Cd, Zn and Pb was conducted by ICP-MS. To assess the effectiveness of accumulation and translocation capability, Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) and Translocation Factor (TF) were calculated. The results showed that the distribution of heavy metals Cd and Pb in the organs of the mangrove Avicennia marina exhibited distinct patterns. Although both of them are considered as non-essential elements, Cd tends to distribute evenly until leaves parts, while Pb tends to retain in the roots. In the case of Zn, as an essential element, the uptake was more intense compared to non-essential elements and mobilized until the leaves parts. Interestingly, once all metals reach the stem, they might transfer to the leaves as shown by TF values more than 1. Therefore, Avicennia marine has an effective defense mechanism in the presence of metals by regulating the accumulation and translocation of metals into detoxifying organs.
