Abstract

This study aims to optimize the concentration of Thidiazuron (TDZ) in the in vitro culture of taro banana (Musa paradisiaca var. sapientum L.) and to integrate the results as a foundation for developing a biotechnology booklet to enhance decision-making skills. The research was conducted using an experimental method with various TDZ concentration treatments, observing parameters such as the number of shoots and leaves produced. To bridge the gap between biotechnological research and its application in education, this study investigates the optimization of Thidiazuron (TDZ) concentrations for the in vitro multiplication of taro banana (Musa paradisiaca var. sapientum L.). The results showed that the use of TDZ effectively induced shoot formation, with the optimal concentration obtained at 0.01 mg/L TDZ, producing an average of 22.25 shoots and 24.25 leaves. In addition to generating biological data, each stage of this study reflected the implementation of decision-making skills, including problem identification, information gathering, criteria determination, solution selection, and result evaluation. These findings serve as the foundation for developing a biotechnology booklet as a contextual learning medium that not only facilitates the understanding of biotechnology concepts but also trains students to make scientific and reflective decisions.

Abstract

Green water in fish ponds, caused by algal blooms, harbors a diverse array of microalgae species and is commonly observed in aquaculture settings. This resource-rich water source holds promise for research focused on microalgae cultivation at a laboratory scale, serving as a valuable starter sample for such investigations. Preliminary observations suggested that the predominant species in such green water habitat belonged to the genus Micractinium Fresenius 1858. An effective isolation technique of this microalgae species is necessary, not only to reduce the contamination of the rotifers but also to purify the starter cultures. Although automated microalgae isolation techniques have been developed recently, such as using Flow Cytometry via Cell Sorting, traditional isolation techniques are still relevant. One of the traditional microalgae isolation techniques that has been widely used for many years is the dilution technique. This study aims to isolate Micractinium pusillum Fresenius from fish ponds using the modified dilution technique: SDE (sedimentation, dilution, and enrichment). The dilution results showed that rotifer contamination was reduced at a dilution of 10─3 and the density of microalgae was also reduced. At this dilution level, only one type of microalgae was observed, i.e., Micractinium pusillum Fresenius. which was then cultured for enrichment using a simple photobioreactor. This 10-3 culture was observed to grow well during the enrichment stage for 10 days. These results indicate that the SDE isolation technique can be effectively used to isolate microalgae from green water, especially for Micractinium pusillum which is the most abundant microalgae species in green water in this study.
