Abstract

Guava, a tropical fruit, is high in macro- and micronutrients. However, only 50% of the fruit’s parts are edible, while the peel and seeds are considered agro-industrial waste. Ruminants may benefit from the nutritional value of dehydrated guava seeds. Guava seeds processed by natural/spontaneous fermentation could boost amino acid content while also preventing antinutritional factors. However, more research is needed to determine the benefits and safety of using fermented guava seeds. The purpose of this study was to investigate fungi isolated from the natural/spontaneous fermentation of guava seeds. Guava seeds were fermented using sterile water and banana leaves, and incubated at 37 °C for 72 hours. Isolation was done on PDA medium for moulds and YMEA medium for yeast. The isolated fungi were characterized by their colony and cell morphology, as well as their physiological characteristics. Results showed that the yeasts from the genera Schizosaccharomyces, Pichia, and Cryptococcus were found to be primary microbes that play a role in the fermentation process, while the moulds from the Mucoraceae family are likely spoilage microbes that appear after the fermentation period.

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the major worldwide medical conditions causing nosocomial contaminations with high mortality and grimness. P. aeruginosa infection treatment, on the other hand, has become more difficult due to antibiotic resistance. Therefore, new antibacterial agents are needed that can be an option in controlling and managing cases of bacterial infections. Plants that could potentially become a new antimicrobial agent is pegagan herb (Centella asiatica). This study aims to determine the antibacterial activity of ethyl acetate fraction of pegagan herb against clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa and its phytochemical profile. Pegagan herb powder was extracted with 96% ethanol, then fractionated using liquid-liquid extraction method with n-hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate solvents. Ethyl acetate fraction of pegagan herb with 3 treatment groups of 5,000 ppm, 7,500 ppm, and 10,000 ppm were tested for antibacterial activity using disc diffusion method. The positive and negative control groups used Colistin and DMSO 10%. The results showed that all concentrations produced different inhibition zones against the growth of P. aeruginosa. Based on the mean diameter of inhibition, the concentration series of 7,500 ppm showed the most effective results with a mean of 2.69 mm compared to the other concentrations. Ethyl acetate fraction of pegagan herb contains flavonoid, phenolic and tannin compounds. Ethyl acetate fraction of pegagan herb can inhibit the growth of clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa in the weak category with inhibition zone diameter <5 mm.

Abstract

The level of fishing efficiency and capacity of a fishery provides a useful instrument for policymakers to design management and control the response of the fishing industry to management. For this reason, fishing efficiency and capacity measures must be applied appropriately depending on a particular fishery's management and specific characteristics (Espino et al., 2006). This study aims to determine the efficiency of fishing capacity in mini purse seine in Ternate City. This research uses a descriptive quantitative method, DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis), to measure the technical efficiency of production (fishing capacity)—efficiency analysis using Microsoft Excel supported by frontier add-ins. The mini purse seine units that became Decision Making Units (DMU) were 20 DMUs consisting of 11 DMUs in Rua village, and 9 DMUs in Moti sub-district, Ternate City. Load capacity, fishing trip, fuel volume, number of crew members, and engine capacity are input factors in this study, while average production volume is the output factor. The results showed that 13 mini purse seine business units (13 DMUs) in Ternate City were inefficient (<1) and 7 mini purse seine business units were efficient. Most of the mini purse seine fishing capacity in Ternate City showed an inefficient condition (<1). The inefficient condition is caused by the excessive use of inputs (fishing capacity). Potential improvements can be made by reducing the use of inputs to obtain maximum output. Trip catch, fuel volume, and number of crew are production inputs that can be improved for optimum output in mini purse seine fishing in Ternate City. This research contributes to understanding best practices in using mini purse seines while supporting efforts to achieve economic sustainability in the capture fisheries sector in Ternate City.

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the major bacteria causing health problems in humans, such as skin infections, abscesses, sepsis, pneumonia, endocarditis, and osteomyelitis. Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been identified since 1990. Consequently, research into alternative antibiotics utilizing natural products is crucial, one of which is honey. Honey is chosen due to its antibacterial properties, including sugars, hydrogen peroxide, phenolic compounds, and others. This study aims to analyze the antibacterial activity of white honey from Sumbawa against S. aureus ATCC 25293. The research method employed was experimental in a laboratory setting using a post-test only control group design. The honey was processed by dilution, and antibacterial testing was conducted using the disc diffusion method at concentrations of 25%, 75%, 100%, with chloramphenicol as positive control and DMSO as negative control. The antibacterial test was repeated five times, and antibacterial activity was assessed by measuring the diameter of inhibition zones around the discs. The results showed inhibition zones for honey at concentrations of 25%, 75%, 100% measuring 1.33 mm, 4.60 mm, and 7.33 mm respectively. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that white honey from Sumbawa exhibits antibacterial activity of weak to moderate strength, but its effectiveness against S. aureus ATCC 25293 is relatively low. Further identification of antibacterial compounds in Sumbawa white honey is recommended for quantitative analysis.
