Abstract

This research employed the experimental method with descriptive data analysis. It aimed to isolate and identify sponge symbiont bacteria with antibacterial potential against Multi-Drug Resistance Organisms (MDRO) with the 16S rRNA gene marker. Based on the study results, two sponges were obtained, namely Clathrina sp and Agelas sp, each having 11 and 7 isolates of symbiont bacteria, respectively. Based on the antibacterial activity test results, out of 18 isolates of symbiont bacteria, only 4 had antibacterial potential against MDRO (Klebsiella pneumoniae ESBL, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ESBL, or Staphylococcus lugdunensis MRSA) with inhibition zones of 9.3 mm, 8.3 mm, and 8.1 mm, respectively. The results of bacterial identification using the 16S rRNA gene sequence isolate S1I3, S1I9, and A1I3 belong to the Bacillus cereus and Bacillus paramycoides types. This research is expected to provide important information about sponge symbiont bacteria with antibacterial potential against MDRO.

Abstract

Pemanfaatan tumbuhan obat sebagai bagian dari pengobatan tradisional telah lama menjadi warisan budaya yang melekat dalam kehidupan masyarakat Indonesia. Namun, di era modern ini, pengetahuan dan pemanfaatan tanaman obat cenderung menurun seiring dengan meningkatnya ketergantungan pada obat-obatan kimia . Masalah yang dihadapi mitra adalah banyak masyarakat lokal yang tidak sepenuhnya memahami nilai ekonomi dari tumbuhan obat yang tersedia di sekitar mereka, pemanfaatan tumbuhan obat masih didominasi oleh cara tradisional tanpa pengolahan lebih lanjut yang bernilai tambah. Kegiatan PKM FMIPA UNIMED ini bertujuan untuk mendorong pemanfaatan tumbuhan obat lokal sebagai produk bernilai ekonomi untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Kegiatan PKM ini dilakukan dengan kelompok masyarakat “Minyak Karo Mulawari” yang produktif di bidang obat tradisional di desa mulawari, Tigapanah, Kabupaten Karo. Hasil pelaksanaan PKM terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan peserta tentang manfaat tumbuhan obat, Teknologi Tepat Guna sehingga kelompok mitra dapat mengoptimalkan produksi pemanfaatan tumbuhan obat lokal sebagai pengobatan tradisional di era modern yang memiliki peningkatan nilai jual. Hasil penilaian peserta terhadap keterlaksanaan kegiatan PKM menunjukkan tingkat kepuasan yang tinggi dan memberikan dampak positif bagi mitra untuk mengembangkan pengelolaan dan peningkatan usaha minyak karo di desa mulawari, Tigapanah, Kabupaten Karo.

Abstract

This study aims to describe local plant species used as traditional medicine by communities in North Sumatra. The research method employed in-depth interviews with communities in three locations including Karo, Medan and Simalungun. The research results identified 81 species of local medicinal plants from 39 botanical families, with the Zingiberaceae family dominating (13 species, 16.05%), followed by Asteraceae (7 species, 8.64%), Piperaceae and Fabaceae (5 species each, 6.17%). Ginger (Zingiber officinale) was the most commonly used plant across three different locations. The most utilized plant parts were leaves (48.15%), rhizomes (22.22%), and fruits (13.58%). The primary processing methods were boiling (40.7%) and pounding (22.2%). This study demonstrates that North Sumatran communities possess diverse traditional knowledge in utilizing local medicinal plants that needs to be documented and preserved.

Abstract

Microplastic pollution in the marine environment is a global issue that has the potential to threaten aquatic organisms, including marine fish consumed by humans. The presence of microplastics in fish can impact the health of marine ecosystems and risk entering the human food chain. This study aims to analyze the shape, color, abundance, and differences in the abundance of microplastics in the gills and digestive tract of marine fish for consumption. The study was conducted in June-August 2025 at the Tanjung Beringin Fish Farming Site (TPI) in Serdang Bedagai Regency. The sample consisted of five fish species, namely Sardina pilchardus, Selaroides leptolepis, Rastrelliger brachysoma, Parastromateus niger, and Euthynnus affinis, each with 10 individuals/fish species. Microplastics were isolated from the gills and digestive tract, then identified based on the shape and color of the microplastics using a stereo microscope. Microplastic abundance data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA test. The results showed that the microplastics found were dominated by fibers (56%), fragments (42%), and films (2%). The colors of the identified microplastics included red (81%), black (73%), green (37%), blue (6%), and transparent (3%). The highest microplastic abundance was found in the digestive tract of Euthynnus affinis (41.9 particles/individual), while the lowest was found in the gills of Rastrelliger brachysoma (26.5 particles/individual). The ANOVA test showed significant differences in microplastic abundance (p < 0.05), especially between Sardina pilchardus and Parastromateus niger, and between Selaroides leptolepis and Euthynnus affinis.
