Abstract

The aims of this study were to isolate Lysinibacillus sphaericus from sewage at some housing complex in Mataram city and evaluate its toxicity against third Aedes aegypti larvae. The bacteria collected from mud taken from diluted sewage and objected to heat shock procedure at 80ºC for 30 minutes. The microbiological culture was done using a Nutrient Agar solid medium and incubated at 30ºC for 72 hours. Bacterial characterization was done based on bacterial colony morphology, cell morphology, cell physiology, and cell biochemistry characteristics. Toxicity test on 3rd Aedes aegypti larvae was done for 24, 48, and 72 hours applying Nutrient Broth medium with various dilution. From this study total of 11 isolates of Lysinibacillus sphaericus were isolated, only three isolates showed a high killing rate against Ae. aegypti in 24-hour observation. They were isolate Bs9-2-3 (LC50 24-hour value was 1.75 x 104 cell/mL), isolate Bs9-1-5 (LC50 24-hour value was 6.23 x 104 cell/mL) and isolate Bs2-1-2 (LC50 24-hour value was 7.17 x 106 cell/mL). These local isolates of L. sphaericus had good potential to be developed for bacterial-based biopesticide/biolarvicide for battling Aedes mosquito larvae in the near future.

Abstract

Ice-ice disease remains a major threat in the cultivation of the seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii, often causing massive crop failures due to a failure to adapt to environmental stress. This study aims to systematically review the physiological responses and metabolite changes of Kappaphycus alvarezii during the transition from a healthy state to an infected phase. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted by analyzing 21 scientific articles from Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Sinta, and Portal Garuda databases published between 2016 and 2026. The data synthesis reveals that abiotic stress, particularly sea surface temperatures above 30°C and salinity below 30 ppt, triggers the overproduction of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), leading to the degradation of photosynthetic pigments and excessive excretion of organic mucus. This weakening of host defenses triggers a microbiome shift from beneficial endophytic bacteria (Bacillus, Halomonas) to opportunistic pathogens (Vibrio, Actinobacillus) that degrade cell walls through agarase enzymatic activity. Although destructive, NPK nutritional intervention through the luxury consumption method, modification of planting depth, and the application of natural antibacterials have proven effective in stimulating tissue regeneration. This study concludes that ice-ice disease is fundamentally a manifestation of physiological failure that can be mitigated through precise environmental management and technology-based early detection.
