Abstract

Mangroves are a community or individual plants that live with special adaptations and form vegetation structures at the tide lines. This research aims to analyze the composition and structure of natural mangrove vegetation in the Bagek Kembar mangrove forest, Sekotong, West Lombok. Data collection used line transect and quadratic methods. The structure and composition of mangrove forest vegetation were analyzed based on density, frequency, dominance, importance value index, Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H'), species richness index (R), and evenness index (S). The research results show that the structure and composition of the natural Bagek Kembar mangrove consists of 10 species and 4 families. The highest importance index value was obtained for the Avicennia marina species with a value of 151.52 for the tree category, 172.16 for the sapling category, and 99.59 for the seedling category. The mangrove diversity index at all growth levels is included in the medium category. The species richness index at the tree growth and sampling levels is in the medium category, but at the seedling growth level it is in the low category. The evenness index at all growth levels is in the fairly even category. Furthermore, the highest density at all growth levels was obtained from the seedling level, followed by saplings and trees. The diameter class density shows an inverted “J” curve which indicates that the forest is in natural condition. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the structure and composition of mangroves in the Bagek Kembar natural forest has a fairly stable ecosystem condition. Conservation efforts need to be increased to improve environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Mangroves scattered in the shore of Lampung have considerable potential to be used as medicines and antibiotics, because the distribution of various mangroves on almost every shore of Lampung is overgrown with various mangrove plants. Mangroves have a symbiotic relationship with microbes, so that mangrove endosymbion microbes generally have the same bioactive compounds as their hosts. Mangrove Avicennia sp. is one of the mangrove species that has the ability to be antibacterial. Mangrove endosymbion microbes can also have the ability to inhibit antibacterial pathogens that cause disease. Diseases whose cases are found in the community, one of which is caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and Escherichia coli. The purpose of this study is to screen the potential isolate of the endosymbion fungus Avicennia sp. as an antibacterial against S.aureus and E.coli bacteria. Isolation results of Avicennia sp. 12 isolates of endosymbion fungi were obtained that have inhibitory activity against S. aureus and E. coli. and 5 isolates (WBJ-R01, WBJ-R04, WBJ-R05, WBJ-R09, and WBJ-R12) that had the best inhibitory zone activity. Extracts from the five endosymbion fungi isolates have inhibitory zones in both pathogenic bacteria. It is proven that the five extracts at the highest concentration are in a strong inhibition zone. WBJ-R01, WBJ-R04, WBJ-R05, WBJ-R09, and WBJ-R12 isolates had inhibition zones of 11.4 mm, 11 mm, 11.73 mm, 12.3 mm, and 13.23 mm, against S.aureus bacteria respectively. and against E.coli bacteria 14.03 mm, 10.3 mm, 13.13 mm, 9.73 mm, and 6.5 mm.

Abstract

Mangroves are a type of plant that has adapted to environments that have salinity, such as in estuary areas. Mangroves that grow and develop contribute to sustainable fauna diversity, such as molluscs. Therefore, the aim of this research is to assess the diversity of molluscs associated with mangroves as a natural tourist attraction on the southern coast of East Lombok (Bale Mangrove). The methods used are belt transect and hand sorting and the data analysis used is species diversity (Shannon-Wiener), species uniformity (uniformity index), species dominance (dominance index). The research results have found 16 species consisting of three bivalves and 22 species consisting of eight Gastropods. Furthermore, there are four species of mangroves found in Bale Mangrove ecotourism, namely: Rhizopora Apiculata, Rhizhopora Mucronata, Sonneratia Alba, and Avecinea Marina. Furthermore, the index values ​​for species diversity, species uniformity and species dominance show that Bivalves have a species diversity of 1.306, while Gastropods have a species diversity of 1.016. The species uniformity of Bivalves is 0.729, while the Gastropods have species uniformity of 0.631. The dominance index for Bivalves is 0.393 and Gastropods is 0.501. Therefore, the conclusion is that the potential of mangroves with their associated biota can become a natural tourist attraction.

Abstract

Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a leading freshwater fishery commodity in Indonesia. However, aquaculture has an obstacle, namely the lack of healthy fish seeds due to Streptococcus disease caused by the bacteria Streptococcus agalactiae. One natural ingredient that is known to have antibacterial properties is dodder (Cuscuta sp.). At the Fisheries Cultivation Laboratory at the University of Lampung, the aim of the research was to determine the efficacy of dodder extract in controlling bacterial infections caused by S. agalactiae in tilapia fry. CE was attempted on an in vitro scale against the microorganism S. agalactiae using a circle dispersion strategy. Then, CE on the dodder was tried for Least Inhibitory Focus (MIC) with a convergence of 100 ppm, 300 ppm, 500 ppm and 700 ppm. Poisoning test on tilapia seeds with focus referring to the MIC test. The research results revealed that the yield of tali putri extract was 1146 percent. Steroids, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins and tannins are the components of the active compound content of dodder extract in phytochemical tests. The results of the separate GC-MS dodder test produced the compound 9-octadecenoate with a maintenance area of 10.38%. Dodder removal can withstand S. agalactiae from a concentration of 100 ppm with an inhibition zone of 6.64 mm to thickness without weakening with an inhibition zone of 7.50 mm. The MIC test results show that 100 ppm is the optimal concentration for wound healing. The results of the damage test (LC50) at a concentration of 100 ppm showed that the death rate of tilapia fry was the smallest compared to other fixations. It is possible that CE dodder can be made as an antibacterial against S. agalactiae.

Abstract

Taxus sp. plants in temperate climates like Europe and America have been extensively studied and identified as promising sources of endophytic microbes that produce anticancer compounds such as Taxol. These endophytic microbes exhibit high adaptability to the specific growing conditions of their host plants. Research has highlighted metabolic differences between tropical and temperate endophytes. The presence of Taxus sumatrana plants in tropical areas like Mount Singgalang in West Sumatra, Indonesia was subjected to explore potential new sources of bioactive compounds from tropical microbes. This research aims to identify the morphotypes of endophytic fungi isolated from the barks of Taxus sumatrana plants originating from Mount Singgalang. The method used is small pieces of the inner bark of Taxus sumatrana were placed on the surface of growth medium (PDA). The small hyphae emerging from the piece of plant samples were regularly monitored for the morphological characteristics of the colony and conidia structure. Each fungal culture was checked for purity and transferred to another PDA plate by the hyphal tip method. The investigation isolated two endophytic fungi from the bark of Taxus sumatrana: Pestalotiopsis microspora and Neopestalotiopsis sp.
