Abstract

Kappaphycus alvarezii is a red seaweed commonly found in the Indo-Pacific region. Seaweed plays an important role in daily life due to its high nutritional value and its content of hydrocolloid compounds such as carrageenan, agar, and alginate. Carrageenan is categorized into three types: iota, kappa, and lambda. It is widely applied in various sectors including food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. This study aimed to identify the optimal cultivation depth to maximize the carrageenan content in Kappaphycus alvarezii. The research employed an experimental method using different depth treatments over a cultivation period of 45 days. A completely randomized design (CRD) was applied, consisting of four treatments with three replications, resulting in a total of 12 experimental units. The treatments were as follows: P1 (0 cm depth), P2 (25 cm), P3 (50 cm), and P4 (75 cm). The research procedure included the construction of floating rafts, seedling preparation, tying of seedlings, planting, sampling, and harvesting. The best results were observed in treatment P1 (0 cm depth), which yielded the highest carrageenan content at 40%, the greatest absolute weight at 350 grams, and the highest specific growth rate at 5.90% per day.

Abstract

The mangrove ecosystem in the Labuan Tereng area needs to be protected and preserved. Mangrove ecosystems have an important role as carbon absorbers and play a role in environmental detoxification through their ability to absorb heavy metals in their surroundings. This study seeks to analyze the ability of Rhizophora apiculata to absorb and retain cadmium (Cd) and iron (Fe) concentrations in the Labuan Tereng mangrove habitat. A systematic sampling approach with a random start was applied, involving 24 plots distributed over three designated stations. Roots and leaves were sampled at each station. Heavy metal concentration analysis for Cd and Fe was conducted at the BSIP Laboratory for Agricultural Instrument Standardization. The study results reveal that root tissues contained the highest concentration levels, namely 615,23 ppm (Fe) and 0,98 ppm (Cd). Therefore, in leaf organs as large as 35,85 ppm (Fe) and 1,09 ppm (Cd). The concentration of heavy metals in R. apiculata has surpassed the permissible limits set by environmental quality standards. Result T-test shows that no significance between Fe and Cd metal in a distance of 0-100 and 100-200 m from the coastline. The translocation factor value of Rhizophora apiculata has phytoextraction properties with a TF value>2 for Cd metal, while for Fe metal, it has phytostabilization properties with a TF value<1. The influence of density on the level of trees and saplings does not have a significant relationship with Cd and Fe metals, where the t-count is > 0.05 and the effect is very weak on Cd and Fe metals.

Abstract

The cultivation of edible bird's nest in North Lombok Regency is experiencing rapid growth. This can be attributed to the rising demand for edible bird's nest products. Nevertheless, the primary challenge to its advancement is the presence of nuisance animals. The objective of this study was to identify and categorise nuisance animals present in edible bird's nest cultivation sites within the boundaries of the Tanjung sub-district. The present study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection undertaken via purposive sampling. The findings of this study identified seven species of nuisance animals in edible bird’s nest cultivation in the area of Tanjung Subdistrict. The following animals are included in this category: snakes, rats, geckos, owls, bats, cockroaches, and ants. These animals have the capacity to exert a direct influence on the swiftlet population, thereby diminishing edible bird’s nest production, particularly within the confines of the Tanjung Subdistrict.

Abstract

The Philemon buceroides is a bird with a limited distribution in the Wallacea region that is difficult to breed in captivity. Its population has drastically declined due to habitat degradation and hunting. This study aims to find its breeding strategies to support its survival. The research was conducted in a breeding cage measuring 4m x 16m x 4.5m, resembling natural habitat conditions. Observed parameters included reproductive success, chick survival rates, and behavioral adaptation of the birds to a semi-natural environment. Results showed that out of four female parents, two succeeded in laying two eggs each; however, the eggs did not contain zygotes. These findings indicate that semi-natural breeding needs to be developed as an effective conservation strategy for P. buceroides, while also providing a scientific basis for the development of long-term release programs.

Abstract

While Lavandula angustifolia (lavender) and Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) are widely utilized in diverse products for their rich bioactive secondary metabolites, emerging evidence now fules concerns about their potential endocrine-disrupting activities. This study aimed to investigate the endocrine-disrupting potential of selected secondary metabolites from lavender and tea tree via an in silico molecular docking approach. Molecular interactions were evaluated against 18 human endrocine receptors using Endocrine Disruptome in silico tools and binding affinities were analyzed to assess potential toxicity. Docking analysis revealed that all lavender anda tea tree secondary metabolites have the potential to interact as androgen receptor antagonists, exhibiting minor, medium, and high probabilities of such activity. Additionally, more than 20% of lavender secondary metabolites and 10% of tea tree secondary metabolites are predicted to be capable of binding to the mineralocorticoid receptor, as well as thyroid receptors alpha and beta. These findings suggest a plausible mechanism by which these phytochemicals could exert endocrine-disruptor effects. In conclusion, the study provides preliminary computational evidence supporting the hypothesis that certain lavender and tea tree sceondary metabolites may act as endocrine-disrupting agents. Further in vitro and in vivo studies are warranted to assess their toxicological implications for long-term human exposure.
