Abstract

Tridax procumbens L. and Aloe vera L. are plants commonly used in the treatment of burns. This study was conducted to determine the effect of giving a combination gel of T. procumbens and A. vera leaf extract on second-degree burn healing in mice. This study used 24 male mice (Mus musculus) which were divided into four treatment groups, namely positive control (KP, Bioplacenton®); negative control (KN, gel base); leaf extract of T. procumbens 0.5% and A. vera 0.5% (P1); and leaf extract of T. procumbens 1% and A. vera 0.5% (P2). The process of inducing burns on the backs of mice requires the use of a 1x1 cm iron, which is subjected to heat in a fire for three minutes. The iron is placed on the mice's back for five seconds, which leads to the development of a second-degree burn. The gel was applied twice a day for 21 days. The highest level of burn wound healing was recorded with the Bioplacenton® treatment, which achieved a full recovery of 100% on day 15. Following this, the combined gel treatment of 1% T. procumbens leaf extract and 0.5% A. vera also reached 100% healing by day 18. While it may not be as potent as Bioplacenton®, the gel formulation containing 1% T. procumbens and 0.5% A. vera leaf extract presents a viable alternative for treating second-degree burns.

Abstract

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a herbaceous plant known to accumulate heavy metals from polluted waters. In Lake Tondano, this plant grows abundantly and helps reduce lead (Pb) levels through bioremediation. This study aimed to identify the genera of endophytic bacteria from water hyacinth (E. crassipes) that have potential as bioremediation agents for lead. This study employed an exploratory, descriptive, quantitative laboratory approach. Samples were collected from E. crassipes plants found in Lake Tondano at three different locations. The isolation method used was direct plating. The research stages included bacterial isolation, lead resistance testing at 50 ppm, lead reduction testing at 10, 20, and 30 ppm, lead concentration analysis, and bacterial identification using morphological and biochemical tests. Three isolates (EG.A1.5, EG.A2.4, and EG.D3.4) were found to be resistant and capable of reducing lead levels. The reduction percentages reached 35.9%, 72.2%, and 55.5%, respectively. Based on morphological and biochemical characteristics, the bacterial genera of three isolates were identified as Salmonella, Enterobacter, and Bacillus.

Abstract

Aquaponics is a cultivation method that integrates freshwater fish farming with hydroponics or soil-less plant cultivation, where wastewater from fish ponds is used as a source of nutrients for plants. This aquaponics system not only produces fish and fresh vegetables, but also reduces waste and water usage, making aquaponics an ideal solution for cultivation in small urban areas. This study aims to analyze and compare the growth productivity of pakcoy (Brassica rapa L.) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) in an aquaponics system. This study was conducted at the Lotta Agricultural Center (SAL), Pineleng District, Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi, from October to December 2024. The research method used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two groups, namely pakcoy and lettuce plants, each with 57 replicates. The data collected included plant height, leaf width, number of leaves, biomass, and leaf chlorophyll content. The results showed that the aquaponics system had a significant effect on the growth of both types of plants. Pakcoy showed faster growth and higher productivity than lettuce, with significant differences in plant height (F = 223.160, Sig. = .000), leaf width (F =121.793, Sig. = .000), number of leaves (F = 734.323, Sig. = .000), and total biomass. Chlorophyll content in pakcoy was also higher than in lettuce, indicating greater photosynthetic capacity. The aquaponics system effectively supports the growth of pakcoy and lettuce, with pakcoy showing a better response. The aquaponics system can be an efficient sustainable agriculture solution in resource use and reducing environmental impact.

Abstract

Conventional plastics made from synthetic polymers have a low biodegradation rate, which contributes greatly to environmental pollution. The use of agricultural waste such as cassava husks (Manihot esculenta) and corn cobs (Zea mays) as bioplastic raw materials is one of the alternatives for the development of environmentally friendly materials. This study aims to determine the effect of variations in the amount of glycerol and the length of decomposition time on the biodegradability of bioplastics made from cassava husks and corn cobs. The study used an experimental method with a Two-Way Factorial Design, covering three concentrations of glycerol (0 mL, 15 mL, and 30 mL) and three decomposition times (3, 6, and 9 days). The results showed that the treatment without glycerol (0 mL) did not form bioplastics so it could not be analyzed. The data was tested using Two Way ANOVA. The results of the biodegradability test showed that the glycerol concentration had a significant effect, and the 30 mL formulation resulted in the highest degradation rate of 91.026% on day 9.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance has accelerated the search for alternative antibacterial agents derived from natural products. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is an invasive aquatic weed that is abundant in Indonesian waters, yet rich in secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, and saponins with antibacterial potential. This study aimed to evaluate the inhibitory activity of the ethanol extract of water hyacinth leaves against Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Propionibacterium acnes (Gram-positive). A descriptive-exploratory laboratory design was used. Leaf samples collected from Lake Tondano were extracted by maceration in 96% ethanol and concentrated using a rotary evaporator. Antibacterial activity was assessed by the well-diffusion method at 100% extract concentration, with 30% amoxicillin as the comparator, incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. The extract produced mean inhibition zones of 7.0 mm against E. coli and 5.7 mm against P. acnes, both classified as moderate according to the Davis & Stout scheme, whereas amoxicillin produced zones of 8 mm and 7 mm. The ability of the extract to inhibit both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria indicates a broad spectrum of activity. These findings confirm that water hyacinth leaves are a promising source of natural antibacterials while adding value to aquatic weed management.
