Abstract

The fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) is a protected animal. Currently, the population in nature is declining due to over-fishing and changes in environmental quality. The existence of this fishing cat is an interesting finding that must be immediately studied at the morphological and genetic levels for certainty of its species. This study aimed to identify fishing cat from Wonorejo Mangroves, based on morphology and Cyt b genes analysis. The results of Cyt b identification obtained a DNA sequence length of 398 bp with a similarity value of the five Prionailurus sp. samples between 96.75 to 98.97%. The identification using molecular data consisted of five variations of nucleotide bases, and the average value of the genetic distance with the ingroup was 1.0%., The Cyt b DNA markers analysis succesfully identified fishing cat from Wonorejo Mangroves as Prionailurus viverrinus.

Abstract

Marine life has much potential for development, especially in the medical field. Its main content is fatty acids, where fatty acids have potential as antihypertensive agents. This research aims to determine the potential of the primary fatty acids in marine biota as antihypertensive agents through an in-silico approach using molecular docking. This study uses the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) receptor as the target protein and fatty acid ligands (myristic acid, pentadecanoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, linoleic acid, vaccenic acid, 11-eicosenoic acid, palmitic acid), and the control drug captopril for comparison. The initial stages of the research include protein and ligand preparation, followed by molecular docking and visualization. Potential compounds were then analyzed with Lipinski drug-likeness and PASSOnline. The research results show that eicosapentaenoic acid and linoleic acid have the potential as ACE inhibitors. PASSOnline predictions indicate that both had a high probability of being vasodilator agents. Therefore, these two fatty acids had the potential as antihypertensive agents. Further research is needed through in vitro and in vivo testing to utilize marine biota in the medical world.

Abstract

Pufferfish belong to the Tetraodontidae family, which consists of 28 genera and 184 species; however, there are limited studies on the species from East Java, especially Pasuruan. This indicates the need for the collection of more accurate morphological and genetic resources as an important step for its conservation. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify pufferfish species found in the Lekok Coastal Waters, Pasuruan District, through morphological characterization and molecular analysis using DNA barcoding of the COI gene. A total of 12 samples were collected from the Lekok Coastal Waters, Pasuruan Regency. Fin samples were stored in 96% absolute ethanol. DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and sequence analysis were performed using bioinformatics tools, the BOLD system, and the Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD) web platform. Phenetic taxonomy was further applied using Ntysc to enhance the robustness of genetic analysis. The results showed that there were identified five pufferfish species were identified: Lagocephalus spadiceus, Chelonodontops patoca, Cyclichthys orbicularis, Arothron stellatus, and Arothron reticularis. High haplotype diversity (Hd) of 1 and nucleotide diversity (π) of 0.1 indicate significant genetic variation. The frequency of parsimonious informative sites was 22.6%, with 13 polymorphic sites and an overall ts/tv ratio of 2.2. The phylogenetic tree showed unambiguous branching patterns among species. These findings are supported by morphological and molecular identification results, which indicate the presence of five species of pufferfish along the Lekok Coast, Pasuruan Regency.

Abstract

Asteroidea is a marine invertebrate that has a role as a bioindicator, but the research related to the abundance and potential of Asteroidea as a bioindicator of lead on Madura Island is not to be done. This study aimed to analyse the effect of Pb concentration on Asteroidea population density in Bangkalan Regency. For collecting data, the transect plotting method with a plot measuring 1x1 m2 with 30 plots in the intertidal zone. Seawater sampling was divided into three stations, such as station I-0 meters (edge), station II-50 meters (middle) and station III-100 meters (deep zone), then the seawater samples were tested for lead Pb levels using the AAS method (atomic absorption spectrophotometer). Data analysis was carried out with quantitative descriptive with Asteroidea composition including diversity index, relative density and dominance index as parameters. The results obtained were sea star species, Cryptasterina sp. and Aquilonastra coronata, with a diversity index value of 0, a relative density of 100% and a dominance index of 1. The results for Pb concentration on Tengket Beach at a depth of 0 meters, 50 meters and 100 are 0.072 ppm; 0.16 ppm; 0.61 ppm and Pantai Modung at 0.5 ppm; 0.83 ppm; 0.82 ppm. Based on the analysis of the abundance of Asteroidea, the higher the concentration of Pb contained in the waters, the lower the density of Asteroidea. It was concluded that there was no relationship between Pb concentrations in seawater and sea star population density, found a high lead metal yield on the diversity and abundance of sea stars.

Abstract

Filopaludina javanica (von dem Busch, 1844) is a freshwater gastropod species in the Viviparidae family. Filopaludina javanica is widely distributed in freshwater waters in Java (including Madura), Sulawesi, Sumatra, Borneo, Papua, Thailand, and Vietnam. The morphological, morphometric, and molecular characterization studies of F. javanica based on the COI gene originating from Madura Island are still quite limited. Therefore, this study aims to determine the morphological variations, morphometry, and molecular characters of F. javanica in Bangkalan, Madura. The samples used are the Taxonomy Laboratory collection from Madura Island, followed by morphological observations, morphometry, and analysis of DNA: isolation, amplification, electrophoresis, and COI gene sequencing. Morphological and morphometric variations in F. javanica from Madura Island showed seven types of morphological variations. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) scatterplot results showed morphometric clustering of F. javanica based on morphological type. Identification of F. javanica using BLAST and comparison with the GenBank database revealed five nucleotide base variations, with an overall genetic distance of 0.031. Therefore, the phylogenetic tree shows that F. javanica from Madura Island belongs to the same clade as F. javanica from Sarawak, West Java, and North Kalimantan.

Abstract

ARTICLE HIGLIGHTSThis study revealed 19 morphological variations of edible wedge clams, Donax faba (Bivalvia: Donacidae), from Kutang Beach, Lamongan, Indonesia, which has significant role as part of coastal ecosystem.This reseach also highlights the DNA barcoding of Donax faba based on COI gene (Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit I).The average genetic distance of the research samples was 0.46%, while the value of this parameter between the research samples and the ingroup was found to be 1.51%. ABSTRACTDonax faba is a type of wedge clams with significant ecological and economic roles, as well as variations in color, pattern, and morphometric properties. Recently, a particular population of unidentified D. faba was reported from Kutang Beach, Lamongan, Indonesia. Therefore, this research aimed to assess the morphological variations and molecular characteristics of D. faba obtained from Kutang Beach based on COI gene. A total of 288 samples were collected during the lowest tide for morphological characterization of the color, pattern, and morphometrics of the shells. Additionally, molecular characterization was conducted based on the composition of nucleotide bases and amino acids of COI gene, genetic distance, as well as the relationships. The results showed that D. faba had 19 morphological variations, among which the most dominant type contained a whitish exterior with brown spots and a whitish purple interior. The average genetic distance of the samples was 0.46%, while the value was calculated as 1.51% between the samples and the ingroup. Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD) analysis performed using a prior maximal distance of 0.001 showed the separation of these species into distinct categories.
