Abstract

Memory formation in mammals involves complex stages, from initial learning to long-term storage. This review highlights key memory-related genes and proteins such as SYNGAP1, Arc/Arg3.1, BDNF, FOXP2, COMT, NR3C1, KIBRA, H-Ras, ERK1/2, and other genes. Mammals serve as important models in memory research due to their evolutionary proximity to humans, providing insights into brain structures such as the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, which are crucial in memory processes. Molecular mechanisms such as transcription, translation, synaptic plasticity, long-term potentiation (LTP), and long-term depression (LTD), as well as neurotransmitters like glutamate, GABA, acetylcholine, dopamine, and serotonin, are comprehensively discussed with a focus on small, large mammals, and humans. Neurotransmitters affect various functions, including emotion, cognition, memory, learning, and motor functions in test animals. Disruptions in neurotransmitter homeostasis have been linked to numerous neurological and neurodegenerative disorders, highlighting the need to understand the complex mechanisms behind memory in mammals. A brief overview of genes and neurotransmitters related to memory and learning will provide insights and considerations in basic neurobiology and biomedical research.

Abstract

Polyurethane is a class of polymers characterized by their substantial tensile strength and high melting points which enables them to be extremely durable. Despite its xenobiotic origin, polyure-thane has been found susceptible to biodegradation by microorgan-isms. The main object of this research was to investigate polyurethane degradation by the bacterium isolated from decayed teak wood (Tec-tona grandis Linn. f.). Polyurethane degrading bacteria were isolated using selective medium in the form of LB (Luria Bertani) with the ad-dition of 0.3% Impranil. Bacterial biodegradation activities shown by the changes of polyurethane structure analyzed by FT-IR spectrosco-py. The bacterial identification was carried out based on observations on the morphological characteristics of the colonies, cell morphology and sequences of 16S rRNA encoding genes. One of the potential iso-late that successfully isolated was K9, which demonstrates the disap-pearance of the 1735/cm peak of the characteristic function urethane in the FT-IR analysis. Analysis of the 16S rRNA encoding gene showed that the potential isolate having 98% similarity index to Bacillus safen-sis strain FO-36b. The activity shown by the isolate suggests that the bacteria could be a promising agent for polyurethane degradation.

Abstract

Among various edaphoclimatic factors influencing coffee bean quality, altitude is one of the primary factors that should be taken into account. This study aims to explore the relationship between altitude, morphological traits, and biochemical composition of robusta coffee in Temanggung Regency, the largest coffee-producing area in Central Java Province, Indonesia. Research sites were purposively selected and categorized into two altitude groups: GS, PS, and GN, located at circa 600 m a.s.l., and GT, WO, and TG, located at circa 900 m a.s.l. A total of 15 morphological traits were observed, consisting of eight vegetative and seven generative traits. Caffeine content was measured following the AOAC procedure using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, while brew acidity was evaluated using a pH meter. Several morphological traits of Temanggung robusta coffee demonstrated significant relationships with altitude. Canopy and stem diameter showed negative correlations with altitude, with correlation coefficients of -0.366 and  -0.408, respectively. Conversely, fruit width               (r = 0.041), bean length (r = 0.049), and bean thickness (r = 0.047) exhibited positive correlations. Regarding biochemical composition, caffeine content stood out by displaying a strong positive correlation with altitude (r = 0.816). Additionally, several morphological traits, including the number of primary branches, the number of productive branches, the number of fruits per bunch, and traits related to fruits and beans, appear to be advantageous for selection and breeding programs. Understanding these relationships provides valuable insights for developing superior Temanggung robusta coffee plants adapted to specific altitudinal conditions.

Abstract

Indonesia is home to 1,248 species of freshwater fish, which play a vital role in sustaining the ecosystem. Lakes Ranu Pani, Ranu Regulo, and Ranu Darungan, located within the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, lack data on freshwater fish. This study aimed to assess fish diversity in these lakes using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding and to establish phylogenetic relationships among the species present. Water samples were filtered using 0.45 µm mixed cellulose ester filter paper, after which the collected DNA was extracted utilizing a DNA miniprep kit. The 12S rRNA gene was amplified using the MiFish primer, and the amplicon DNA was sequenced with the Illumina MiSeq 2x250 platform. The sequences were aligned using Blast+ for species identification and subsequently analyzed for alpha and beta diversity. A phylogenetic tree was constructed with MEGA12. The findings revealed eight species from five families, with Gambusia affinis being the most abundant. Ranu Pani exhibited low species diversity, while Ranu Regulo and Ranu Darungan displayed moderate diversity. Beta diversity analysis indicated similarities between Ranu Pani and Ranu Regulo, but distinct communities were found in Ranu Darungan. Phylogenetic analysis showed close relationships between species from the Cichlidae and Osphronemidae families, while a more distant relationship was observed with the Cyprinidae family. These baseline data can serve as a reference for future research on developing conservation strategies, monitoring environmental changes, and supporting biodiversity management.

Abstract

Indole acetic acid (IAA) is an auxin hormone that can regulate plant growth and development. Bacteria produce IAA through L-tryptophan metabolism. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of endophytic bacteria isolated from Daun Dewa plants to produce IAA to increase the germination and growth of tomato seedlings. Isolation of endophytic bacteria was carried out by sterilizing plant surfaces. The production of IAA is done by adding L-tryptophan precursors. The results showed that there were six endophytic bacteria, and three isolates of them have the potential to produce IAA, namely: AD1.1, UD1.1, and UD2.1. The highest IAA concentration was produced by isolate AD1.1. Growth in sprouts is significantly influenced by the concentration of IAA; the higher the concentration of IAA, the longer the shoots and the roots. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence, these isolates belong to the genus Klebsiella.

Abstract

Spirulina is a microalga with spiral or linear trichome shapes that has potential in industrial and food sectors due to its rich nutritional content. Spirulina can live in various aquatic habitats with different environmental conditions. Differences in cultivation environments can affect the morphological characteristics of Arthrospira due to phenotypic plasticity, making morphology-based identification prone to errors. Therefore, molecular identification using the 16S rRNA gene for phylogenetic analysis is necessary. This study aims to identify and analyze the genetic relationships of Spirulina from freshwater and brackish water based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. Freshwater Spirulina samples were taken from Bogor (BGR) and Yogyakarta (MRP), while brackish water Spirulina was taken from Jepara (JPR). DNA extraction was performed using the Zymo Research Quick-DNA Fungal/Bacterial Miniprep Kit, amplification of the 16S rRNA gene was conducted through PCR, followed by DNA sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using MEGA11 to construct the phylogenetic tree. The morphology of strains BGR and MRP showed straight and thin filaments, whereas JPR had spiral and relatively long filaments. Sequencing analysis results showed that strains JPR and MRP had the closest homology similarity to Arthrospira sp. IAQUASC-C0001 with percentages of 99.34% and 99.12%, respectively. Meanwhile, Spirulina from BGR had the closest homology similarity to Arthrospira fusiformis strain AICB 668 with a percentage of 99.78%. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that strains BGR, JPR, and MRP are more closely related to Arthrospira than to Limnospira.

Abstract

Twenty-first-century science education requires not only conceptual mastery but also the development of scientific process skills and critical thinking. Laboratory work plays a central role in achieving these goals; however, its effectiveness is often limited by “cookbook-style” procedures that fail to promote deep cognitive engagement. This study aimed to explore students’ perceptions of science practicums as indicators of Meaningful Learning (Pembelajaran Bermakna/PBM). Using a qualitative approach with an exploratory case study design, this research involved twelve purposively selected Grade VIII students. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that students perceive meaningful learning as conceptual understanding that can be applied to everyday life rather than mere memorization. Science practicums were viewed as an effective means of achieving PBM, particularly due to the quality of teacher guidance, clear instructions, and opportunities for group collaboration. Although limited laboratory equipment and materials were identified as the main constraints, these limitations did not substantially hinder students’ conceptual understanding. The study concludes that strong pedagogical interactions can bridge hands-on and minds-on learning and support the implementation of competency-based curricula.
