Abstract

Nosocomial infectious diseases are caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Treatment of infection can use drugs in the form of substances produced by a microorganism in the form of antibiotics. However, the problem that often arises with antibiotics is the occurrence of resistance. Alternatives that are able to overcome the problem of antibiotic resistance against bacteria are plants that have antibacterial activity, one of which is kaliasem (Syzygium polychephalum). This study aims to determine the compounds contained in the ethanol extract of the bark of kaliasem (Syzygium polychephalum) and to determine the potential of its activitiy on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. The bark extract of kaliasem (Syzygium polychephalum) had been carried out by using maceration method. Determination of antibacterial activity was carried out by the disc diffusion method. The ethanolic extract of the bark of kaliasem (Syzygium polychephalum) contains antibacterial compounds such as tannins, phenolics, terpenoids, alkaloids and flavonoids and the ethanolic extract of the bark of kaliasem (Syzygium polychephalum) at concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% can inhibit growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria with an average inhibition zone of 15.85 mm, 18.36 mm, 23.64 mm, 28.58 mm, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that the ethanolic extract of the bark of kaliasem (Syzygium polychephalum) contains antibacterial compounds and has the potential to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.

Abstract

Batujai Dam is one of the largest dams in Central Lombok with an area of 890 ha of inundated water. The water from the Batujai Dam is used for irrigation of agricultural land, flood control, freshwater fisheries and the development of micro-hydro power plants. Batujai Dam is also a reservoir for several rivers in Central Lombok, namely:  the Leneng River, the Sade River and the Dodokan River. This function makes the Batujai Dam a place for the accumulation of various forms of pollutants carried by the inlet rivers. Microalgae is one of the ecological parameters that can function as a bioindicator of water quality. The purpose of this study was to determine the water quality in the Batujai Dam in terms of the microalgae diversity index and the measurement of environmental factors. Determination of sampling point and sampling time using purposive sampling method. Measurement of water quality is carried out by determining the diversity index and measuring environmental factors such as pH, temperature, DO, BOD, phosphate and nitrate. Microalgae data for determining the diversity index was analyzed using the Microsoft Excel 2010 program. The results showed that the identified microalgae consisted of 5 classes, 16 orders and 40 species. The overall diversity index of microalgae in the Batujai dam is 1.712 with a DO value of 5.09 and a BOD of 4.0175. Based on these data, it can be concluded that the water quality in the Batujai Dam is in an unhealthy condition (lightly polluted).

Abstract

Endophytic bacteria have been known to produce high levels of secondary metabolites. The sterile leaves of the sea fern (Acrostichum aureum L.) contain many phytochemical compounds. This sea fern is often found in peat swamp areas. The aim of this study was to isolate, partial characterization, and analysis of bioactive compounds from endophytic bacteria of sea ferns to determine their bioactive compounds. Endophytic bacteria were isolated by a direct technique using nutrient agar (NA) media. In this study, the endophytic bacteria were characterized by macroscopic, microscopic, and Gram. Several tests were further performed, namely phytochemical test and Fourier Transform Infra Red (FT IR) FTIR tests from a crude extract of secondary metabolites of bacteria. The results of the isolation obtained six isolates of endophytic bacteria consisting of all isolates were Gram-negative. The phytochemical test results for the six isolates were positive for alkaloids and saponins but no steroids. Based on the results of phytochemical tests and FT IR, it is suspected that the isolate DSB 1.6 has similarities with the alkaloid functional group. This endophytic bacterial isolate can be developed as a candidate for produced of pharmacological compounds.

Abstract

The location close to urban areas and the rapid rate of decline in area can threaten the diversity of rare fruits in the Sibohe Forest. A re-survey in the Sibohe Forest, Singkawang, West Kalimantan was conducted to confirm reports of the existence of 15 rare fruit plant species collected in 2017-2018 by previous researchers. The inventory process started from collection of specimens carried out during June-July 2021, herbarium making, identification and descriptive data analysis. Based on the similarity of regional names, 13 out of 15 species were confirmed according to the previous reports, while 2 species were not found due to the possibility of out of fruiting season. However, 4 of the 13 confirmed species were identified with different scientific names. Additional survey to the people in Pontianak City aged 17-34 years revealed some different names for the same type of fruit among these four species. Four new plant species were also collected and described in this study including amok (Alpinia sp., Zingiberaceae), nubik (Artocarpus sp., Moraceae), tehengan (Artocarpus sp., Moraceae), and smallest arok (Ficus sp., Moraceae). Potentials and challenges in the inventory of rare fruit plants in the Sibohe Forest should be studied regularly as well as efforts to increase public knowledge and interest, especially for the younger generation. Moreover, recommendation should be made to support conservation activities based on the actual data collected in the field regularly.
