Abstract

The extraction of organic constituents, antioxidant activity test, and toxicity test of Bajakah Buton (Kakatola) root extract were conducted. Bajakah Buton roots were extracted using the microwave-assisted maceration method, followed by extraction using ethyl acetate solvent. The resulting yield reached 40,827% b/v. The analysis identified the presence of flavonoids, glycosides, phenols, terpenoids, and tannins. Antioxidant activity testing using the DPPH method showed IC50 values of ethyl acetate extract and vitamin C of 100.317 ppm and 13,797 ppm, respectively, indicating strong antioxidant properties. Toxicity tests using the BSLT method showed that the ethyl acetate extract of Bajakah Buton roots had a toxic activity with an LC50 value of 11,232 ppm. The results of this study will continue to be developed, so it is expected to be an important breakthrough in the field of cancer treatment.

Abstract

This study examines the potential of biogas effluent as a source of electrical energy through microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology. The results showed that the one-room MFC produced a maximum voltage of 1302,2 mV, while the two-room MFC with KMnO4 electrolyte reached 1084,3 mV with an electric current of 0,1 mA. Simultaneously, the two-chamber MFC with K2Cr2O4 produced a maximum voltage of 1675,8 mV and an electric current of 0,99 mA. This potential, with electrical voltage values equivalent to commercial batteries, can improve the efficiency of electrical energy generation from organic waste and open up wider application opportunities in using renewable energy sources. Characterization of the MFC substrate showed a decrease in organic matter of biogas effluent with COD values of 500,96 mg/L and BOD of 300,23 mg/L. MFC bacteria from biogas waste were dominated by Gram-positive rod-shaped and Sarcina, except for one Gram-negative isolate of Spirillum.
