Abstract

Blumea balsamifera (L.) DC. or Sembung is a flowering plant belonging to the genus Blumea of the family Asteraceae. Many pharmacological activities of this plant show potential in human therapy. In this study, an investigation was conducted on the ethanolic extract of B. balsamifera collected from a geothermal area known as Ie-Jue, in Aceh Province, Indonesia. The results showed that the ethanolic extract of B. balsamifera contained secondary metabolites of flavonoids and tannins. Chemical constituents of ethanolic extracts B. balsamifera further analysis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) show that active compounds from this plant was Proximadiol (C15H28O2) with relative area 41.76%. This research underscores the compelling potential of the Ie-Jue geothermal area as a promising reservoir of flora owing to the plant's adaptability to geothermal extremities.

Abstract

Sea urchins (Echinoidea) play important ecological and economic roles in coastal ecosystems, but morphological identification is often unreliable due to overlapping diagnostic traits among closely related taxa. This study used DNA barcoding of the mitochondrial COI gene to identify a sea urchin specimen from Kumu Beach, North Sulawesi, and determine its phylogenetic relationship with GenBank reference sequences. DNA was extracted from gonad tissue, amplified via PCR using the BK-COI-AntF&AntR primers, sequenced, and analyzed through BLAST, MUSCLE alignment, and Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic reconstruction (Kimura 2 Parameter model, 1000 bootstrap replications). PCR yielded a clear ~709 bp fragment, producing a 658 bp COI consensus sequence (A+T content: 56.84%). BLAST analysis showed 100% query cover and identity with multiple Tripneustes gratilla reference sequences, and phylogenetic analysis placed the specimen within the Tripneustes clade, closely nested among T. gratilla sequences. These results confirm the specimen as T. gratilla and support COI based DNA barcoding as a reliable method for sea urchin species identification.
