Abstract

The effort of Indonesian people to fulfill their protein intake in an economically accessible way is by producing and consuming oyster mushrooms, because their protein content was viable as an alternative to animal-based products. Combination of sugarcane bagasse, palm fronds (PKS), and sawdust can be used as growing medium for oyster mushrooms. The aim of this study was: (1) to analyze the change in the pH of the combination media formulation of Palm Oil Frond Waste (PKS), sugarcane bagasse, and sawdust; (2) identifying the composition of nutrients in the aforementioned agricultural waste as a growing medium for oyster mushroom. This study was composed of two steps: 1) Preparing the composition of the growing medium from agricultural waste; and 2) Analyzing nutrient composition of the growing medium of oyster mushroom. The research was conducted by using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with a Non-Factorial Completely Randomized Design (RAL). The combination of oyster mushroom growing medium from palm fronds, sugarcane bagasse, and sawdust has different pH levels and nutritional contents. The combination of M0 – M8 oyster mushroom growing medium has the suitable level of pH to grow the mushrooms at 6,5 – 8,0 pH. From the formulation analysis of nutrient in the combination of M0 – M8, it can be used as a reference for the nutrient content of oyster mushrooms growing medium from palm fronds and sugarcane bagasse.

Abstract

Dyes and copper are dangerous contaminants because they are toxic. Bioremediation using indigenous bacteria is the best solution to overcome water pollution. Copper resistant bacteria usually have resistance to dyes thereby helping the bioremediation of dye and copper wastes. This study aims to examine the ability of indigenous bacteria isolated from the Cisadane River, namely Klebsiella grimontii IrCis3, Shigella flexneri IrCis5, Enterobacter cloacae IrCis6, and Enterobacter cloacae IrCis9 in terms of resistance and ability to decolorize 12 textile dyes namely methylene blue, malachite green, congo red, mordant orange, reactive black, direct yellow, basic fuchsin, reactive orange, dispersed orange, remasol red, wantex yellow and wantex red. The results showed that Shigella flexneri IrCis5, Enterobacter cloacae IrCis6, and Enterobacter cloacae IrCis9 were resistant to all dye concentrations of 200 and 500 ppm except Klebsiella grimontii IrCis3 did not grow on malachite green and basic fuchsin at concentrations of 200 ppm and methylene blue, malachite green and basic fuchsin concentration of 500 ppm. Only Shigella flexneri IrCis5 has the ability to decolorize 200 ppm basic fuchsin up to 87.23% after 3 days of incubation. The addition of 3 mM CuSO4 reduced the ability to decolorize Shigella flexneri IrCis5 to 0.57%.

Abstract

The vast expanse of seagrass beds in coastal areas can provide many ecosystem services, one of which is the ability of seagrass beds to absorb and store carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon dioxide gas (CO2) is one of the components of greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. So the role of seagrass is very important in the ecosystem. This study aims to determine carbon storage in seagrass in the littoral zone of Sancang Beach, Garut Regency, which was carried out in April-June 2022. Determination of potential carbon storage was carried out by taking seagrass samples with a size of 20 cm x 20 cm, then drying to a constant weight. and calculated using a carbon conversion factor for seagrass biomass of 0.34. The results showed that the carbon content at Station 1 Cibako (145.9331 g C/m2) was higher than Station 2 Cikujangjambe (110.026 g C/m2) and Station 3 Ciporeang (117.771 g C/m2). The average carbon content at Sancang beach is 124,577 g C/m2. The conclusion is that in general the carbon storage below the substrate (below ground) in seagrass in the Litoral Zone of Sancang Beach has a greater value than the value of carbon storage above the substrate (above ground).

Abstract

The study to examine the calcification rate, adaptation, and the biotic response of three tropical coccolithophorids (Emiliania huxleyi, Gephyrocapsa oceanica, and Ochosphaera sp) to changes in CO2 concentration. Three selected calcifying coccolitophorids were grown at batch culture with CO2 system at two levels of CO2 (385 and 1000 ppm) and two light dark periods. The parameters measured and calculation including growth rate, particulate organic carbon content, particulate inorganic carbon content, chlorophyll a, cell size, photosynthetic, organic, inorganic carbon production, photosynthesis, and calcification rate.  The results showed that there was a different response to carbonate chemistry changes and dark and light periods in any of the analyzed parameters.  The growth rate of three selected calcifying microalgae tested was decreasing significantly at high concentrations of CO2 (1000 ppm) treatment on 14:10 hour light: dark periods. However, there was no significant difference between the two CO2 concentrations where they were illuminated by 24 hours light in growth rate.  The increasing CO2 concentration and light-dark periods were species-specific responses to photosynthesis and calcification rate for three selected calcifying microalgae.

Abstract

Scenedesmaceae is one of the microalgae groups that has been widely studied as promising biodiesel feedstock. Its morphological identification is often confused by environmental changes, so it requires molecular identification as well. The current study aimed to obtain primer pair candidates that identify the Scenedesmaceae based on the rbcL gene. The research used bioinformatics tools, which harvested rbcL protein sequence data, performed multiple sequence alignments, and designed primers based on conserved and less-conserved regions. The best left and right primers selected based on sequence length, melting temperature, 3' end stability, number of hairpins, and self-dimers, were paired, and three candidates were obtained. The three pairs were examined based on melting temperature difference, number of hetero-dimers, length of amplified nucleotide product, number of hits, and number of genera captured from the GenBank. Sce-16 (F, 5'-TGGTCGTGCTGTTTATGAATGT-3' and 1_RL, 5'-TGCCAAACATGAATACCACCA-3'), which is back-translated according to Hariotina sp. (AOY36008.1), is the most preferred candidate compared to the other two pairs after discussing their advantages and disadvantages. In the future, the proposed primer candidate needs to be validated through in vitro amplification with some optimizations to eliminate potential weaknesses.

Abstract

Weeds are undesired plants to grow so weed management is expected to overcome losses caused by weeds. One way to manage weeds using herbicides is the chemicals used for weed management in plants. This study aims to determine the influence of weed management using herbicides on corn yields. The research was conducted in Sekoci Village, Besitang District, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra in April-June 2021. This study used a non-factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD), with 4 treatments and 3 replications, namely contact, systemic, weeding and weeds without management. The results showed that herbicide management significantly affected 100 seed weight, cob weight per plot and seed weight per plot, but had no significant effect on weed without management. It indicates that the treatment of weed management using herbicides affects plant growth and yield. Weed management for farmers is very important to prevent competition for nutrients between weeds and corn.
