Abstract

Background: The global human population continues to grow rapidly, leading to increasing urban waste and environmental contamination. One emerging and promising approach to mitigating this pollution is zooremediation, which utilizes animals as biological agents for environmental cleanup. This review aims to critically assess the effectiveness of various animal species in removing specific classes of pollutants, with particular attention to their mechanisms of action—zooextraction, zootransformation, and zooaccumulation—and the environmental conditions under which they operate. Effectiveness is evaluated based on pollutant removal efficiency, adaptability to contaminated environments, and ecological safety. Methods: Through systematic literature analysis, we identified key species, including Geukensia demissa, Daphnia magna, and Anadara granosa, which demonstrated measurable success in the remediation of aquatic environments contaminated with heavy metals and organic pollutants. Additionally, soil-dwelling nematodes such as Caenorhabditis elegans and Cephalobus persegnis play critical roles in hydrocarbon degradation and in enhancing microbial synergy in polluted substrates. These findings highlight the diverse functional capacities of animals in bioremediation efforts. The methodology employed in this study is a comprehensive literature review, focusing on peer-reviewed articles published over the last two decades. Results: This review synthesizes findings related to pollutant types, animal species used in zooremediation, remediation outcomes, and ecological impacts. By critically examining existing studies, the evaluation identifies trends, gaps, and challenges in the application of zooremediation. Conclusion: Future research should focus on understanding the long-term impacts, optimizing protocols, and safeguarding both ecological and animal health to fully realize the potential of zooremediation in managing environmental pollution on a global scale.

Abstract

Background: The skin, as the largest organ of the body, hosts various types of bacteria. Excessive sebum production combined with bacterial infections can lead to skin issues such as irritation. Although chemical-based antiseptic soaps are effective, they may negatively impact both the environment and skin health. This has increased public interest in natural alternatives, such as cloves (Eugenia aromaticum), which contain eugenol an active compound with antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. This study aimed to formulate a clove leaf oil-based liquid soap with varying concentrations of clove leaf oil: F1 (0%), F2 (4%), F3 (6%), and F4 (8%), and to evaluate its physical properties and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: The disc diffusion method was employed to assess antibacterial activity. Results: The organoleptic test showed that the soap had a distinctive clove aroma, yellow color, and a liquid to thick homogeneous consistency. The pH values ranged from 8.97 to 9.14, foam stability ranged between 84.37% and 88.18%, viscosity ranged from 2510.72 to 6190.57 cP, and spreadability varied from 3.39 to 6.42 cm. Antibacterial testing revealed inhibition zones of 2.87 mm (F1), 7 mm (F2), 10 mm (F3), and 15.25 mm (F4), indicating increasing antibacterial activity with higher clove oil concentrations. Conclusions: The F2 formula was identified as the most balanced, with acceptable pH, optimal foam stability, moderate viscosity, and a 7 mm inhibition zone classified in the medium category. This study highlights the potential of clove leaf oil as a natural antibacterial agent in liquid soap formulations.

Abstract

Background: Learning difficulties related to the human excretory system remain a persistent challenge in high school biology education, particularly concerning abstract subtopics such as urine formation, nephron structures, and physiological mechanisms including filtration, reabsorption, and secretion. This study aims to identify internal and external factors that hinder student understanding of these concepts. Methods: A descriptive approach was employed, involving the distribution of structured questionnaires to 73 high school students. The instruments were designed to assess both cognitive and instructional aspects influencing learning barriers. Data analysis focused on patterns of student responses concerning content difficulty, teaching methods, and availability of learning resources. Results: The study revealed that 85.7% of students encountered substantial difficulty in understanding urine formation within the nephron. Additionally, 77.1% reported that monotonous, teacher-centered instruction contributed to their challenges, while 65.7% cited a lack of practical laboratory experiences. Cognitive issues such as low abstract reasoning ability, poor visualization skills, limited memory retention, and low motivation were identified as core barriers. Instructional deficiencies, including minimal use of multimedia and interactive strategies, further exacerbated learning difficulties. Conclusions: The results highlight the importance of integrating visual aids, interactive media, and experiential learning in biology instruction to improve conceptual understanding. Addressing both cognitive and instructional barriers is essential for enhancing learning outcomes in complex biological systems.

Abstract

Background: Curvularia sp. is a seed-borne pathogenic fungus that can reduce rice plant productivity. At the same time, conventional seed health testing methods still rely on visual observation and require a relatively long incubation time. This study aims to evaluate the potential of infrared image analysis based on a modified imaging system for early detection of Curvularia sp. infection in rice seeds. Methods: Seed health testing was performed using the blotter test method. At the same time, image acquisition was performed with a digital microscope equipped with an infrared light source, and images were analyzed using pseudocoloring and RGB-based color segmentation. Results: The results showed differences in infrared signal intensity patterns in Curvularia sp.-inoculated seeds, which could be identified on the fourth day after inoculation, earlier than visual observation, which showed symptoms on the fifth day. Detection accuracy was calculated using a confusion matrix based on visual observation as the reference method, with a sample size of 50 seeds per observation day, yielding an average detection accuracy of 91% over seven days of observation. Conclusions: The modified infrared image analysis method has the potential to serve as an early detection method for Curvularia sp. infection in rice seeds, although its performance depends on the limitations of the imaging system and the validation method used.

Abstract

Background: One effective method for controlling Bactrocera carambolae is the use of Beauveria bassiana. However, a common challenge is the decline in the conidial quality and virulence due to the lack of chitin and protein sources. The insect Tenebrio mollitor and the pupal casings of Hermetia illucens are rich in chitin and have the potential to enhance the growth medium. Methods: The study used RAKF consisting of 3 factors and 3 replications. The first factor was the Type of Flour (T) consisting of T1: T. mollitor and T2: H. illucens. The second factor was Flour Concentration (K), which consisted of K1: 0.5% K2: 1% and K3: 1.5%. The third factor was Drying Temperature (S), of S1: 1000C S2: 1100C and S3: 1200C. Results: The results of the study show that the treatment caused symptoms of infection in the form of mycelium growth on the pupal cuticle and abnormalities in the emergence imago. The best combination is T2K2S2 (1% H. illucens flour at 1100C) which gives a mortality rate up to 76.7%, pupal duration of 9.3 days, and viability rate of 92.2%. Conclusions: The combination of H. illucens flour at a concentration of 1% and a drying temperature of 1100C is quite effective in increasing the ability of B. bassiana in controlling B. carambolae pupae in vitro.

Abstract

Background: Fungal infections such as candidiasis caused by Candida albicans and pityriasis versicolor caused by Malassezia furfur are highly prevalent in Indonesia. Conventional antifungal treatments often face challenges like resistance and adverse side effects. As an alternative, brotowali stem (Tinospora crispa) extract, rich in alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannins, shows promise as an antifungal agent. This research investigates the in vitro antifungal efficacy of ethanol extract from brotowali stem against C. albicans and M. furfur. Methods: A laboratory experimental design utilizing the well-diffusion method was applied, measuring inhibition zone diameters on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar after 2x24 hours at extract concentrations of 45%, 60%, 75%, and 90%. Results: The ethanol extract of brotowali stem exhibited statistically significant but relatively low antifungal activity based on inhibition zone diameters against C. albicans (0,002) and M. furfur (0,001), with higher concentrations showing greater antifungal. The largest inhibition zones measured 5.93 mm for C. albicans and 3.97 mm for M. furfur. Conclusions: The extract concentrations of 90% concentration exhibited moderate antifungal activity against C. albicans. For M. furfur, all concentrations demonstrated weak antifungal activity.

Abstract

Background: Fusarium sp. is one of the main threats to chili cultivation, thereby reducing its economic value. Therefore, the use of biological microorganisms, such as Trichoderma sp., is an environmentally friendly alternative for controlling Fusarium sp. Application techniques for Trichoderma sp. biological agents include seed coating or encapsulation. However, ensuring the quality and effectiveness of encapsulated products during storage and distribution remains a concern. Thus, this study aims to examine the effects of packaging type and storage temperature on the viability and efficacy of Trichoderma sp. biological agents encapsulated in red chili seeds (Capsicum annuum L.) for inhibiting Fusarium sp. Methods: This study applied a completely randomized design (CRD) factorial with two factors, namely packaging material (aluminum foil and plastic) and storage temperature (5°C, 28°C, and 36°C), resulting in 7 treatments with three replications plus a control, resulting in a total of 21 experimental units. Results: Aluminum foil packaging stored at 28°C showed the highest viability of Trichoderma sp. and the most effective antagonistic activity against Fusarium sp. Conclusion: These results provide a sustainable, environmentally friendly solution for biological-agent-based seed storage.
