Abstract

As the world's population grows at an exponential rate, greater food production becomes a requirement. Intensive agricultural methods, which are now used to produce the bulk of food, are unsustainable and will be unable to supply demand when natural resources become scarce. The industry faces a significant nitrogen demand, which must be met in order to combat hunger in emerging countries. This study used a literature review technique to investigate the potential for improved wheat crop yield through nitrogen fixation. It has been demonstrated that utilizing microorganisms such as cyanobacteria as biofertilizers or phytopathogen antagonists can boost the development and productivity of non-leguminous agricultural crops. Finally, the possible end result outweighs the costs. It's impossible to argue against the development of nitrogen-fixing wheat at this point in the technology's development. Whether it is possible to develop crops that rely solely on dinitrogen as a nitrogen source, or if the result is only a slight boost in wheat yields, the need to improve global food production needs research like the one described in this article.©2022 JNSMR UIN Walisongo.

Abstract

This research is one of the efforts and the first step in the preservation of historical ancient manuscripts with an interdisciplinary scientific approach. The Unity of Sciences involved in this research are historical science, archaeology, philology combined with natural sciences such as microbiology and biotechnology approaches. The ancient manuscript whose microorganisms were isolated and observed in this study is an ancient manuscript with Pegon letters titled "Layang Watu Gunung" which dates from the 19th century. Over time, microorganisms can contaminate the paper on the manuscript which can cause damage or biodeterioration. Efforts to preserve historical manuscripts can be started by identifying in advance what types of microorganisms are contaminating the manuscript. From the results of the study, it was found that the microorganisms that contaminate the Layang Watu Gunung Ancient Manuscript are types of bacteria and fungi. For bacteria, the results of the Gram staining test result for contaminant bacteria are Gram Negative Bacteria. This initial research will be the basis for further preservation efforts, the results will be more relevant to be analyzed, especially for other historical manuscripts that are in similar temperature and humidity conditions, namely on the island of Java.
