Abstract

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections have become a serious problem for the last several decades. To solve this issue, the finding of new antibiotic candidates is an urgency. Natural pigment is known to have biological activity against pathogenic bacteria. Coastal fungi are an unexplored source of natural pigment to fight MDR bacteria. This research was aimed to isolate coastal endophytic fungi from smooth ant plant (Hydnophytum formicarum), to screen endophytic fungi that produce red pigment, to extract the red pigment, to determine antibacterial activity of the red pigment, and to identify the coastal endophytic fungi producing the red pigment. In this study, seven fungi were isolated as endophytic fungi from H. formicarum. There were three isolates that produced extracellular pigment, i.e., RS 1A produced red pigment, RS 3 produced black pigment, and RS 6A produced yellow pigment. Our study focused on the red pigment which was produced by endophytic fungus strain RS 1A. The yield of red pigment was 8.8657% (w/w). This study showed that red pigment had antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Proteus mirabilis strain MDR. Based on molecular and morphological identification, the endophytic fungus strain RS 1A was identified as Aspergillus versicolor.

Abstract

The increasing rate of divorce in Muslim societies has raised concerns about the effectiveness of preventive mechanisms designed to strengthen family resilience. One of the strategies widely promoted in Islamic family law is premarital counseling, which aims to prepare prospective couples with knowledge and skills necessary for building a stable marriage. This study aims to analyze the role of premarital counseling in preventing divorce through a comparative examination of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. The research employs a qualitative approach using comparative legal analysis combined with a socio-legal perspective. Data were obtained from primary sources, including reports and institutional practices related to premarital counseling in Indonesia, particularly through the Marriage Development and Preservation Advisory Body (BP4) and the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) in Deli Serdang Regency, as well as secondary sources such as legal documents, academic literature, and policy reports concerning Islamic family law in the three countries. The findings reveal that each country adopts a different institutional approach to premarital counseling. Malaysia implements the most formalized system through mandatory premarital courses integrated into marriage registration under the supervision of religious authorities. Indonesia adopts a semi-institutionalized model where counseling programs are facilitated by BP4 and KUA but are not always strictly mandatory. Meanwhile, Thailand relies primarily on community-based religious initiatives due to the limited formal recognition of Islamic family law within the national legal framework. The comparative analysis indicates that stronger institutional regulation and standardized counseling programs contribute to more effective divorce prevention mechanisms. Strengthening premarital counseling policies and institutional coordination may therefore enhance family resilience and reduce divorce rates in Muslim societies
