Abstract

Macroalgae are multicellular photosynthetic organisms that live in water. Some species of macroalgae are very difficult to identify based on their morphology alone because they have great similarities. Therefore, identification of macroalgae diversity based on its genotype is very important to do in order to enrich the genetic information of macroalgae found on one of the beaches on the island of Lombok. This study aimed to analyze the genetic diversity of macroalgae from Pantai Ekas Beach, Jeowaru District, East Lombok, NTB using 18S rRNA gene markers. The research was carried out in 4 stages, namely sampling, morphological analysis of samples, isolation of total macroalgae DNA, isolation of genes by PCR amplification, agarose gel electrophoresis. Sampling was carried out at certain coordinates at east longitude and south latitude using the Ekas Beach quadratic transect method. The morphological analysis of the samples was guided by an identification key. Total DNA, macroalgae were isolated based on the spin column I DNA kit easy method. Genes were isolated by means of PCR amplification. Total DNA isolates and gene amplicons were confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The results obtained were based on their morphology, all samples obtained were grouped into 9 macroalgae samples which could be divided into brown macroalgae (3 samples), green macroalgae (2 samples) and red macroalgae (4 samples). All samples have successfully isolated total DNA and its 18S rRNA gene which was confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis chromatogram.

Abstract

Mask waste and used cooking oil contain hydrocarbons and free fatty acids. the combination of these ingredients with pretreatment heating in the microwave and the help of lipase enzymes makes the resulting sludge has the potential to be converted into biodiesel with a maximum yield when compared to making biodiesel from other materials and methods. The results of this study indicate that pre-treated sludge from mask waste and used cooking oil can be converted into biodiesel through a methanol transesterification reaction with the help of thermostable lipase enzymes from Pseudomonas. As for the optimum conditions, the highest biodiesel yield was produced at a temperature of 60℃, the best reaction time was 25 minutes, the volume of sludge was 10 mL and the optimum pH was at pH 8. The flame test on the biodiesel produced had been carried out, most of which had bright blue, red flames and orange. There are also some results that the flame is dim and even the test results are not lit.

Abstract

The prevalence of Patients with Diabetes Mellitus remains on the rise worldwide. Diabetes is a multifactorial disorder that emboils genetic and environmental factors such as an unhealthy diet by consuming white sugar crystals. White crystal sugar consists of less chromium content that induces glucose in the blood to the cells, which can trigger hyperglycemia or high blood sugar levels. Chromium works by increasing the activity of insulin receptors to enhance glucose translocation to the cell. Previous studies showed sugarcane Nira had a high level of chromium compared with those processed into white crystalline sugar. However, it could not be used as a sweetener substitute since its storage age was only 2 to 3 days. This study identified that the treatment process of Lombok's Nira sugarcane into local liquefied sugar should be addressed to maintain chromium levels compared to the processing of Nira into the white crystalline sugar requiring optimum sucrose and omitting several minerals. Hence, sugarcane Nira as a refined sugar product can substitute for white sugar consumption in diabetes patients.

Abstract

The research has been carried out on the effect of variations in the concentration of earring leaves (Acalypha Indica L.) ethanol extract on the acquisition of inhibition zone values for the growth of S. typhi bacteria. In this study, ethanol solvent was used in the maceration and evaporation stages, then the well diffusion method was used to test its antibacterial activity. Each stage was carried out in triplo and 3 repetitions. Phytochemical test on the evaporated extract showed positive test results for flavonoid and tannin metabolite compounds. Concentration variations that used in this study were 5%, 15%, 30%, 50% and 60%, the antibiotic chloramphenicol was also used as a positive control and aquadest as a negative control. Meanwhile, the antibacterial activity test gave the result that the higher the concentration of the earring leaf extract (Acalypha Indica L.), the inhibition zone value also increased with the following successive values: 0mm, 11mm, 14mm, 15mm and 16mm, on the other hand chloramphenicol showed an inhibition zone of 32 mm. The research data were analyzed statistically using the One Way Anova test. Earring leaf extract (Acalypha Indica L.) has a significant effect of 0.000 on S. Typhi bacteria. However, at the smallest concentration, namely 5%, it does not have an inhibition zone diameter of 0 mm with a significant value of 1000. It can be concluded that the antibacterial activity using chloramphenicol is still higher when compared to the antibacterial activity using the ethanol extract of earring leaves (Acalypha Indica L.) in inhibiting growth of S. Typhi bacteria.
