Abstract

Dental caries is an infectious disease that occurs in the oral cavity preceded by the formation of dental plaque or biofilm. This study aims to examine the inhibition and biofilm inhibition of hibiscus tree bark extract (Hibiscus tiliaceus). The test methods used were Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Killing Concentration (MBC) while the analysis of biofilm inhibition used UV-VIS spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 580 nm with McFarlandII standard (6x108 CFU/ml). The results showed that the methanol extract of hibiscus bark at a small concentration of 0.5% could inhibit and kill Streptococcus mutans as indicated by the number of colonies that grew less with a value of 3.34 x 107 CFU/ml in colonies that grew at an extract concentration of 2. % and 1%. Biofilm inhibition is shown by the decreasing absorbance value due to the increased extract concentration so that less biofilm formation occurs.

Abstract

Tempeh is an Indonesian traditional fermented food produced using Rhizopus as a starter culture. In practice, however, the starter culture as well as fermentation processes would yield a polymicrobial fermentation, which generated a unique tempeh flavor and texture. This condition makes Indonesian tempeh as one of the most complex fermented food, while at the same time would make it difficult to scale up tempeh production with uniform quality and consistency. The aim of this study was to compare a number of tempeh microbial communities employing Amplified Ribosomal Intergenic Sequence Analysis (ARISA). Fresh tempeh samples were obtained from tempeh producers in Java and Moluccas. 16S rRNA gene libraries and DNA sequencing were employed to analyze further the nature of bacterial diversity in two selected tempeh samples. The results of our study showed that different tempeh producer possessed different Bacterial ARISA (BARISA) or fungi ARISA (FARISA) profiles.  However, BARISA profiles were found to be more discriminative than FARISA, and therefore BARISA would be more useful for tempeh genetic fingerprint or barcoding.

Abstract

Penggunaan mikroskop sebagai alat dalam praktikum biologi menjadi sangat penting karena dapat mendukung keterampilan proses belajar sains. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk memberikan pemahaman yang mendalam kepada siswa dan guru mengenai penggunaan mikroskop Olympus CX-21 untuk pengamatan sel serta penggunaan smartphone untuk dokumentasi sel. Metode yang digunakan adalah ceramah, diskusi, tanya jawab serta demonstrasi untuk menyiapkan preparat segar tumbuhan, menggunakan mikroskop dengan benar serta mendokumentasi hasil pengamatan. Hasil yang dicapai adalah peserta mampu menggunakan mikroskop dan menyiapkan preparat segar tumbuhan dan mendokumentasikan serta memvisualisasikan hasil pengamatan. Peserta terlihat sangat antusias dan tertarik karena mampu mengamati jaringan tumbuhan langsung di bawah mikroskop.
SKRINING FITOKIMIA DAN ANTIBAKTERI CANGKANG DAN DURI BULU BABI Diadema setosum Birahy, Deford Cristy; Siahaya, Griennasty Clawdya; Bustomi, Bustomi; Seumahu, Cecilia Anna; Nindatu, Maria; Mainassy, Meillisa C; Huwae, Laury Marcia Ch

Abstract

Bulu babi Diadema setosum relatif melimpah di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi senyawa fitokimia dan kemampuan antibakteri ekstrak etanol cangkang dan duri bulu babi Diadema setosum terhadap isolat bakteri Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, dan Salmonella sp. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan meliputi ekstraksi cangkang dan duri bulu babi Diadema setosum dengan cara maserasi menggunakan etanol 96%, kemudian dilakukan skrining fitokimia dan uji aktivitas antibakteri dengan metode difusi sumur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa skrining fitokimia ekstrak cangkang bulu babi (Diadema setosum) mengandung senyawa alkaloid, flavonoid, dan saponin. Senyawa yang ditemukan pada ekstrak duri bulu babi Diadema setosum antara lain alkaloid, flavonoid, dan tanin. Pengujian antibakteri dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode difusi. Hasil uji aktivitas antibakteri menunjukkan bahwa kedua sampel (cangkang dan duri) menghasilkan zona hambat terhadap isolat bakteri Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, dan Salmonella sp.

Abstract

West Seram Regency on Seram Island in Maluku Province, Indonesia has extraordinary biodiversity and is the habitat of several endemic species of Maluku and Indonesia. As a form of implementation of the dharma of community service, socialization was conducted with students of SMA Negeri 10 in Kamarian Village, West Seram Regency, Maluku about Indonesian endemism, its threats and conservation. The socialization was attended by 38 students. The socialization results indicate that 91% of students demonstrated a good understanding of endemic species, and 82% of students obtained information on endemic species from this activity. Additionally, students were able to identify 11 Indonesian endemic species, as well as the threats and efforts to protect them. This activity has the potential to increase environmental awareness among school students, the nation's young generation.
