Abstract

Sumatran elephant is declared as critically endangered by IUCN since 2011. In supporting conservation efforts on sumatran elephant in its natural habitat, molecular data collection of their population needs to be done. Genetic source material is mostly obtained in its natural habitat is its dung/feces. Study on cytochrome B gene as genetic marker from sumatran elephant fecal samples can be done to get additional genetic data as a form of conservation effort. Primer optimization as genetic marker based on cytochrome B gene has been carried out as an early study on sumatran elephant genetics.  Primer optimization program based on cytochrome B genetic marker from sumatran elephant fecal samples was under Higher Education Applied Research funded by The Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education. DNA was isolated from fecal samples of captive sumatran elephants in Elephant Training Center, Way Kambas National Park. Primer optimization was done via amplification by increasing certain temperature. Specificity test was done to ensure that the primer only recognized sumatran elephant DNA. The best result was obtained with the annealing temperature of 52oC

Abstract

Lampung, including the Register 31 Pematang Arahan area which is next to the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, is known for its high biodiversity, and its coffee production. Gapoktanhut Lestari Sejahtera, consisting of 13 Forest Farmer Groups (KTH), practiced community-based forest coffee under the KPH Kotaagung Utara, Tanggamus, Lampung. To support the development of biodiversity data base for KPH Kotaagung Utara, molecular-based species identification for robusta coffee has been carried out under BLU LPPM Unila grant year 2023 and in collaboration with the Lampung Disease Investigation Center. Robusta coffee leaf samples from six KTH areas (Bumi Mulyo, Sido Makmur 1, Sido Makmur 2, Sido Makmur 3, Mandiri Jaya, and Murah Rejeki) were collected for molecular species confirmation based on the N-methyl transferase genetic marker. Molecular analysis included DNA extraction, amplification, and electrophoresis conducted at the Lampung Disease Investigation Center. Sequencing was based on the Coffea canephora CAF2 genetic marker. Bioinformatics analysis was performed using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) and Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) software version 6. Identical sequence lengths of samples in 6 KTH are varied in base pair length and nitrogen base sequences, ranging from 163-530 bp, with 5 out of 6 KTH having a genetic distance of 0.000%, while 1 sample had a genetic distance of 0.006%. It indicates that robusta coffee samples from 6 KTH areas are genetically closely related. It is supported by its phylogenetic tree, the coffee species cultivated by Gapoktanhut Lestari Sejahtera is molecularly confirmed to be robusta coffee, Coffea canephora.
