Abstract

This research aimed to isolate and identify the types of bacteria present on the surface of biology education students' mobile phone screens. This was an exploratory study using a bacterial isolation method.Bacteria found on the mobile phone screens were cultivated using MacConkey agar, a selective medium specifically designed to detect and identify Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Enterobacteriaceae like Escherichia coli. The accuracy of the Escherichia coli data from the phone screen samples, after processing with the Microbact System, was 96.39%.Malt Extract Agar (MEA) was also used as a selective medium to detect and identify Gram-positive fungi, such as Candida albicans.Based on these findings, the developed module was deemed highly feasible. A learning medium is considered highly feasible for use if it achieves a presentation rate between 60-100%. With an average score of 82.39%, the module meets this criterion and can be effectively used in learning.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the phylogenetic relationships among six species of fiddler crabs (Uca spp.) found in Lalombi Village, Banawa Selatan Subdistrict, Donggala Regency, based on morphological characters. A descriptive-exploratory approach was employed, with purposive sampling to select representative specimens. Eighteen morphometric characters were measured from three individuals of each species: U. triangularis, U. perplexa, U. dussumieri, U. annulipes, U. tetragonon, and U. bellator. Data were analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and UPGMA clustering with the aid of PAST software version 4.03. The PCA results revealed that carapace length (CL), anterior carapace width (ACW), and posterior carapace width (PCW) contributed significantly to total morphological variation. Cluster analysis indicated a close phylogenetic relationship between U. tetragonon and U. triangularis, as well as between U. perplexa and U. bellator. U. annulipes appeared intermediate between the two groups, suggesting a moderate level of relatedness. In contrast, U. dussumieri formed a distinct branch, likely due to its markedly larger body size compared to the other species. These findings affirm that morphometric characters are valuable in elucidating phylogenetic relationships within the genus Uca and support taxonomy based on morphological traits.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between diet and physical activity with the nutritional status of students of SMP Negeri 19 Palu. This study used a cross sectional design with a quantitative approach and analytic observational type. The subjects were 77 students of class VIII (aged 13-15 years) who were selected using simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using FFQ (Food frequency Questionnaire) to assess diet and APARQ (Adolescent physical Activity Recall Questionnaire) for physical activity, both validated instruments from previous studies. As well as anthropometric measurements (height and weight) using the Body Mass Index (BMI) to determine nutritional status. The results of the analysis using the chi-square test showed that there was a significant relationship between diet and nutritional status (χ²(3) = 8.772; p = 0.032), and between physical activity and nutritional status (χ²(4) = 9.919; p = 0.042) Respondents with a good diet and moderate to vigorous physical activity tended to have normal nutritional status, while poor diet and light physical activity were more common among students with abnormal nutritional status. These findings suggest that diet and physical activity play an important role in determining the nutritional status of adolescents. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of educational intervention programs in the school environment to support healthy lifestyles and prevent nutritional problems among students.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the phylogenetic relationship of coral trout groupers (Plectropomus spp.) in the waters of Liang Village, Banggai Kepulauan Regency, based on morphological characters. The research employed a descriptive exploratory method with quantitative and qualitative approaches. Samples were collected using purposive sampling, obtaining 15 individuals representing five species: Plectropomus leopardus, Plectropomus oligacanthus, Plectropomus maculatus, Plectropomus areolatus, and Plectropomus leavis. Morphological observations included 25 morphometric characters, 11 meristic characters, and 4 qualitative characters. Data were analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to identify the main morphological characters contributing to variation among species, followed by cluster analysis using the Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) to assess phylogenetic relationships. The results indicated that the physicochemical conditions of the waters in Liang Village were suitable to support coral trout grouper populations. PCA results showed that the first two principal components (PC1 and PC2) explained 73.31% of the total morphological variation, with interorbital length, dorsal fin base length, and body depth contributing most significantly to species differentiation. The UPGMA dendrogram revealed that Plectropomus leopardus exhibited the closest phylogenetic relationship with Plectropomus areolatus and Plectropomus oligacanthus, while Plectropomus maculatus showed the greatest morphological divergence and formed a separate cluster. These findings demonstrate that morphological characters are effective in revealing phylogenetic relationships among Plectropomus species in the studied waters.

Abstract

Indonesia is recognized as one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots, supporting a wide range of pollinating insects, including honey bee species of the genus Apis. Among these, Apis cerana is the most widely managed species and contributes significantly to national honey production, particularly in Sulawesi. However, the increasing economic value of honey has led to frequent cases of entomological origin fraud, in which honey is falsely labeled as being produced by a different bee species. This study aimed to determine the entomological origin of honey sold in Central Sulawesi using the Major Royal Jelly Protein 2 (mrjp2) gene as a molecular marker. Seven honey samples claimed as “forest honey” were analyzed through DNA extraction, PCR amplification using species-specific primers (CF-CR), and sequencing followed by BLAST-n analysis. All samples yielded high-quality DNA with purity ratios appropriate for PCR amplification. PCR successfully amplified the mrjp2 gene, producing fragments of approximately 201-208 bp, consistent with the expected size for A. cerana. Sequence analysis showed percent identity values ranging from 99.20% to 100% when compared with reference sequences of A. cerana. Based on molecular verification, three samples (H3, H5, and H7) did not match the seller’s claims and were confirmed to originate from A. cerana rather than A. dorsata binghami. These findings demonstrate that sequencing of the mrjp2 gene is an effective and reliable approach to authenticate the entomological origin of honey and to detect fraudulent labeling in commercial honey products.

Abstract

Central Sulawesi is one of the provinces in Indonesia with high avian diversity, including the Philippine scrubfowl (Megapodius cumingii). This species belongs to the family Megapodiidae and is distributed in the Philippines, parts of eastern Borneo, and several small islands in Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze the genetic variation and phylogenetic relationships of Megapodius cumingii from Poat Island based on sequences of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) gene. Genomic DNA extracted from blood samples of the Philippine scrubfowl was isolated using the gSYNC™ DNA Extraction Kit (Geneaid), amplified using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method with primers L5145 (forward) and H6394 (reverse), and visualized by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. The PCR products were purified using the QIAquick PCR Purification Kit. Sequence data were analyzed using BLAST for species confirmation, DnaSP v6.12.03 for genetic variation analysis, and MEGA 11 for phylogenetic tree reconstruction using the Maximum Likelihood and Neighbor-Joining methods. The results showed that the 1.072 base pair ND2 gene sequences generated three haplotypes, with a haplotype diversity value of 0.667 and a nucleotide diversity of 0.00249. The nucleotide base composition of the ND2 gene was dominated by A+T (52.03%) compared to G+C (47.95%). Phylogenetic tree reconstruction using both methods produced consistent topologies, in which all Megapodius cumingii samples from Poat Island formed a monophyletic clade with high bootstrap support, indicating strong and stable genetic relationships.
