Abstract

Seagrass is one of the aquatic plants that can be used as a bioindicator in the waters. This research aims to determine the morphological structure of seagrass as bioindicators and the amount of cyanide content in seagrass plants in the waters of Sekotong, West Lombok. This research was conducted in July - August 2021 at Pewaringan Beach, Sekotong, West Lombok. Determination of the sample point is done by purposive sampling. Data were collected using line transect method simple random sampling  at three points. Data analysis was carried out on seagrass plants with complete roots, stems, and leaves using a spectrophotometer at BLKPK NTB Province. The results showed that the characteristics of seagrass in the three research locations had a slightly muddy sandy substrate and slightly sandy muddy, an average leaf  length of 21.5 cm, an average leaf  width of 1.10 cm, an average stem length of 9.4 cm, diameter the average stem is 0.74 cm, the average root length is 7.29 and the average root diameter is 0.25 cm. The ANOVA test showed that the significant value was <0.05, so there was a significant difference in the morphology of the seagrass. The cyanide content in the waters of Pewaringan Beach was found to be on average 12,341 mg/kg or 0.495 mg/L. According to the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No. 57 of 2016 the standard cyanide content in waters is 0.5 mg/L. So that the cyanide content in the waters of Pewaringan Beach is still within safe limits.

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 is a Coronaviridae virus with a single-stranded RNA genome. This virus is highly contagious and spreads rapidly, with mutations occurring at a rapid pace. Various preventive actions have been implemented to prevent the spread of Covid-19 instances. The World Health Organization recommended that everyone clean their hands, masks, and other items in their environment on a frequent basis. As a result of these measures, the virus's transmission will be slowed. Furthermore, keeping one's immune system is critical for limiting the spread of Covid-19. As a result of a weakening immune system, our body's defenses will deteriorate, making us more susceptible to sickness and unable to fight diseases caused by viruses or bacteria. If the immune system is strong, it will recognize and kill viral and bacterial compounds when they are exposed. Immunomodulators, such as natural vitamins and herbs, can help maintain and boost immunity. Indonesia is primarily a farming country. In Indonesia, many different varieties of plants can be grown. Turmeric is an Indonesian medicinal plant that may be found all across the country. Turmeric's ability to act as an immunomodulator has also been proven. As a result, the goal of this study is to determine the usefulness of the active chemicals found in the Curcuma longa plant as a natural immunomodulator in order to avoid mutations of the COVID 19 variation by looking at the background of the current situation. The approach employed in this study is an in silico Molecular Docking test, with the goal of determining the active side of the drug and the value of Binding Affinity from the Docking data. Tissue Pharmacology is used to depict the protein network found in turmeric plants, as well as the substances and diseases that are linked to these proteins. According to the findings, the compound quercetin acts as a ligand for the PIK3CG protein and has a high binding affinity of -7.4. As a result, it can be identified as a substance that acts as a natural immunomodulator in turmeric plants.

Abstract

The study aimed to find out the long-standing difference in irradiation to the growth rate of Kappaphycus alvarezii in controlled containers. The method used is experimental. This study used a Complete Randomized Design (RAL) using four (4) treatments with 3 repeats, namely the treatment of P1 control (without irradiation), P2 (8 hours of irradiation), P3 (10-hour irradiation), P4 (12-hour irradiation). The data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a rate of 5% with a confidence interval of 95% and continued with the Duncan test. In this study, the average results of absolute weight and the highest specific daily growth rate at P4 treatment of 25.67±1.53 gr, 3.30±0.06%, followed by P3 treatment 21±2 gr, 3.11±0.09%, P2 treatment 16±1 gr, 2.87±0.06%, and lowest P1 treatment 12.33±2.08 gr, 2.63±0.15%. The average value of light intensity in each treatment is P1 1053±41.00 lux, P2 1256±27.71 lux, P3 1479±0.58 lux, and P4 1668±34.64 lux. Water quality parameters during maintenance are in the normal limit range for seaweed maintenance. D treatment produces the highest growth value this is because the light is an energy source in the process of photosynthesis, in chlorophyll plants, photosynthesis is the main process determining the rate of growth. The quality and amount of light that enters affects the growth of seaweed. This research concluded that the maintenance of Kappaphycus alvarezii in controlled containers with different irradiation had a significant effect on growth. 12 hours irradiation (P4) gave the best growth with an absolute weight of 16.00 g, and a specific growth rate of 4.06% per day and gave the highest chlorophyll-a value of 2.72 mg/l. Meanwhile, the highest phycoerythrin value was found in (P1) without irradiation, which was 4.58 mg/l.
