Abstract

Orchid (Orchidaceae) is one among the plants that grow in Taman Wisata Alam (TWA) Bukit Tangkiling, Central Kalimantan. The lack of information about orchid species in that area makes an inventory crucial. The purpose of this study was to inventory the species of orchids in the TWA Bukit Tangkiling area, as well as to learn about the environmental characteristics and distribution patterns of these plants. The research was conducted from October 2022 to March 2023. This research used the exploratory method and the sample was taken using the purposive sampling technique. Seven orchid species were identified as a result of this study: Acriopsis sp., Arachnis sp., Cymbidium finlaysonianum, Dendrobium crumenatum, Bulbophyllum purpurascens, Bromheadia finlaysoniana, and Dipodium pictum. Five species grow on plant stems (epiphytic), while two species grow on soil (terrestrial). Since each species was discovered less than 100 meters above sea level, they were all categorized as lowland orchid species. Dendrobium crumenatum is distributed randomly. The distribution of Bromheadia finlaysoniana, Bulbophyllum purpurascens, and Cyimbidium finlaysonianum is clustered. While the distribution pattern of the rest could not be determined because only one individual was found.

Abstract

Praktikum mikroskopis pada pelajaran biologi di sekolah sering kali menghadapi kendala terkait dengan ketersediaan preparat yang berkualitas. Untuk itu, pelatihan pembuatan preparat permanen jaringan tumbuhan bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan guru dalam membuat preparat mikroskopis menggunakan teknik parafin. Kegiatan ini diselenggarakan di Gedung Pusat Pengembangan IPTEK dan Inovasi Gambut (PPIIG), Universitas Palangka Raya, dengan diikuti oleh sembilan orang guru biologi dari sekolah mitra sasaran. Pelatihan dimulai dengan pemaparan materi mengenai mikroteknik tumbuhan, yang mencakup langkah-langkah pembuatan preparat, mulai dari fiksasi, dehidrasi, penyayatan, pewarnaan, hingga pemasangan preparat. Para peserta juga diberikan kesempatan untuk praktik langsung pembuatan preparat segar dan awetan, serta teknik pewarnaan dan mounting menggunakan mikrotom dan safranin. Kuesioner pra dan pasca pelatihan digunakan untuk mengevaluasi pemahaman dan keterampilan peserta, yang menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan setelah kegiatan. Sebelum pelatihan, tidak ada peserta yang memahami atau memiliki keterampilan dalam pembuatan preparat permanen jaringan tumbuhan. Namun, setelah pelatihan, seluruh peserta berhasil menguasai teknik tersebut. Evaluasi ini menunjukkan bahwa pelatihan ini efektif dalam meningkatkan kompetensi praktis guru, yang diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kualitas praktikum biologi di sekolah. Ke depan, pelatihan ini memiliki potensi untuk dikembangkan lebih lanjut dengan topik-topik tambahan seperti perawatan mikroskop dan teknik kultur jaringan.

Abstract

Antibiotic resistance is one of the main challenges faced by the health world today. Therefore, various efforts are being made to find new alternative antibiotics from various sources. Endophytic bacteria from medicinal plants are thought to have an antibacterial activity that can potentially inhibit pathogenic bacteria growth. This study aimed to isolate and characterize endophytic bacteria from the Dayak onion plant and determine their potential to inhibit the growth of two pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Bacterial isolation was carried out using the surface sterilization method and grown on nutrient agar media. The endophytic bacteria isolates obtained were then characterized macroscopically and microscopically. The agar plug diffusion method carried out the antagonism test against pathogenic bacteria. The result showed that 40 isolates of endophytic bacteria were successfully isolated from the Dayak onion plant's leaves, bulbs, and roots. Based on the antagonism test, 3 isolates were able to inhibit E.coli while 8 isolates were able to inhibit S. aureus. Three isolates (CED3, CED4, and CEU6) were able to inhibit both pathogenic bacteria, and the highest activity was shown by CED3 isolates.

Abstract

The Xylariaceae family comprises cosmopolitan ascomycetous fungi that predominantly live as saprobes, contributing ecologically and forming interactions with various organisms. Due to their cultivability under laboratory conditions and potential to produce bioactive metabolites, members of Xylariaceae are increasingly explored for bioprospecting. This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of mycelial extracts from Xylariaceae isolates collected from Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, as an initial step in exploring their bioprospective traits. Fungal specimens obtained from forest exploration were cultured in vitro to obtain axenic cultures. Liquid-state fermentation was performed to induce metabolite secretion, and the biomass was extracted (macerated) using ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and methanol (MeOH). The antimicrobial activity was tested against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans using the disk diffusion method. Antioxidant capacity was assessed via the DPPH radical scavenging assay and expressed as IC50 values. Morphological examination of six isolates (DP61–DP66) revealed characteristic features of Xylariaceae, such as upright stromata, clavate dark structures, and smooth to punctate surfaces, while their mycelia appeared white and unpigmented. Ethyl acetate extracts generally exhibited broader antibacterial effects than methanolic extracts. The EtOAc-DP62 extract exhibited strong antibacterial activity, with inhibition zones of 13.3 mm and 13.2 mm against B. cereus and S. aureus, respectively. MeOH-DP66 demonstrated the strongest antifungal activity, with an inhibition zone of 21.7 mm. DP62 also exhibited potent antioxidant activity (IC50 = 3.44 µg/mL), surpassing ascorbic acid (IC50 = 28.32 µg/mL). Molecular identification based on ITS-rDNA sequences revealed DP62 as Nectriopsis epimycota (Bionectriaceae) and DP66 as Xylaria plebeja (Xylariaceae). Interestingly, DP62 may represent an endohyphal fungus initially associated with a xylariaceous fruiting body. These findings highlight the bioprospective value of these fungal isolates as promising antimicrobial and antioxidant-producing agents.
