Abstract

In the context of biopesticide development, siderophore-producing rhizosphere bacteria play an important role as potential biological control agents. Siderophores are complex organic compounds produced by microorganisms to bind and take up iron ions (Fe3+) from the surrounding environment. This compound is very important because iron is a nutrient necessary for life for many microorganisms and plants. The aim of this research was to determine the type and ability of bacteria in the rhizosphere of Brotowali (Tinospora crispa) to produce siderophores. The method used in this research is an exploratory descriptive type. The isolation results obtained from the North Lombok area obtained 5 samples with codes B4A1, B6A1, BT61, BT63 and BT83. The results of the bacterial isolate potency test with Media Kings showed that only isolate BT63 showed clear fluorescence when exposed to ultraviolet light. Meanwhile, the Arnow's Assay test showed that only BT63 colonies experienced a color change to pink. The results of the molecular identification of the potential bacteria, namely BT63, using the BLAST method using the GenBank data base at NCBI, show that it is closely related to the species Bacillus thuringiensis strain FDAARGOS 791. The results above show that the rhizobacteria isolated from Brotowali have the potential to be developed as a natural biopesticide that can be applied in the future.

Abstract

House flies (Musca domestica) are one of the challenging pests that are difficult to overcome and control. Common control methods usually involve the use of chemical insecticides, but a more environmentally friendly alternative is to use plant-based insecticides with repellent properties. Medicinal plants from the Lamiaceae family are famous for their distinctive aroma and are effective in treating pest problems. This research aims to evaluate the potential of cat's whisker leaves and mint leaves as housefly repellent. The repellency test used cotton impregnated with extract concentrations of 2,000 ppm, 4,000 ppm, 6,000 ppm, 8,000 ppm and 10,000 ppm. Exposure time was 30 minutes and carried out 3 times. The repellency percentage is then calculated. The results of the research showed that at concentrations of 2,000 ppm and 4,000 ppm there were still some flies landing, but at concentrations of 6,000 ppm, 8,000 ppm and 10,000 ppm no flies landed. Strong repulsion was observed at concentrations of 2,000 ppm (86.7% for cat's whisker leaf extract and 82.7% for mint leaf extract) and 4,000 ppm (96% for cat's whisker leaf extract and 88% for mint leaf extract). Both extracts showed very strong repulsion (100%) at concentrations of 6,000, 8,000 and 10,000 ppm. These results show that the higher the concentration, the stronger the repellent effect produced. In conclusion, cat's whiskers and mint leaves have potential as active mosquito repellent ingredients, and this research can be the basis for further development as a pest control method, especially against houseflies.

Abstract

Euphorbia milii is a common garden plant and its leaves have antibacterial activity, due to the presence of saponins, flavonoids, and tannins. As there is an increasing antibiotic resistance to Staphylococcus aureus, there is potential for E. milii as a new antibacterial candidate. The purpose of this study was to determine secondary metabolites of saponins, flavonoids, tannins and to determine the antibacterial activity of E. milii leaves in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus (in vitro). Simplisia was extracted by sonication method, then fractionated with a separatory funnel. Extracts and fractions were analyzed qualitatively by tube test and thin layer chromatograpy (TLC). The antibacterial activity of methanol extract (320; 160; and 80 mg/ml) and n-butanol fraction (32; 16; and 8 mg/ml) was tested by disc diffusion method. The results of qualitative test showed that the extracts and fractions were positive for saponins, flavonoids, and tannins.  In antibacterial test, extract at a concentration of 320 mg/ml was able to inhibit bacterial growth with moderate activity category (6.5 mm). Extracts at 160 mg/ml and 80 mg/ml, as well as n-butanol fractions at all concentration showed weak antibacterial activity (<5 mm). Theseresult suggest that the extracts and fractions positively contain metabolites of saponins, flavonoids, and tannins. The extracts and fractions were able to inhibit the growth of staphylococcus aureus, but the activity was not greater than the positive control.

Abstract

One of the hazardous wastes generated from unlicensed gold mining is mercury. Mercury is a toxic metal that can have a negative impact on the environment such as reducing soil and water quality and disturbing human health. The presence of mercury in the soil is completely controlled by adsorption-desorption of various sorbents. Soil properties greatly affect the adsorption and desorption of mercury in the soil. Because different soil properties will adsorb and desorb mercury in different ways and amounts.  The purpose of writing this article is to review the results of previous research on the adsorption-desorption of mercury in soil so as to determine the extent of the risk of soil and environmental pollution. The method used in this writing is to collect and process data sources from previous research published in scientific articles, books, and discussion results. The results show that soils with high organic matter, iron oxide and clay content can absorb more Hg2+. In addition, lower pH has more hydroxylated surfaces that can adsorb more Hg2+. Irreversibility was found where the amount released or desorbed was less than the adsorption of mercury.
