Abstract

AbstrakBurahol termasuk tanaman yang buahnya dapat dimakan, dan mempunyai zat-zat aktif yang berpotensi sebagai obat dan deodoran alami. Kultur in vitro merupakan salah satu cara dalam produksi metabolit sekunder. Tingginya kontaminasi merupakan salah satu hal yang menjadi kendala dalam kultur  in vitro. Salah satu sumber kontaminan adalah eksplan yang digunakan dalam kultur in vitro. Optimasi sterilisasi permukaan merupakan langkah awal yang sangat penting dalam pengembangan kultur in vitro. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendapatkan prosedur optimasi sterilisasi permukaan eksplan daun burahol dan juga melakukan deteksi dan eliminasi edofit pada daun burahol. Optimasi sterilisasi permukaan dilakukan dengan perlakuan variasi konsentrasi klorox dan waktu perendaman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa daun burahol mengandung jamur endofit. Eliminasi jamur endofit dapat dilakukan dengan penyiraman tanaman dengan fungisida. Sterilisasi permukaan eksplan yang paling optimal adalah dengan fungisida selama 24 jam, dilanjutkan dengan perendaman bakterisida dan fungisida selama 30 menit, perendaman pada alcohol 70% selama 1 menit, dilanjutkan dengan klorox 15% 10 menit, dan klorox 10% 10 menit berturut-turut. AbstractBurahol has active substances with potential as a drug and natural deodorant. In vitro culture is one way to production of secondary metabolites. High contamination is one of the things that become obstacles in in vitro culture . One of the contaminant source is explant that used in in vitro culture. Optimization of surface sterilization is a very important first step in the development of in vitro culture. This study aims to get the optimization procedure surface sterilization of burahol leaf explant and also perform detection and elimination endophyte on burahol leaves. Optimization surface sterilization is done by treatment by variations clorox concentration and immersion time. The results showed that the burahol leaves contain fungal endophytes. Endophytic fungus elimination can be done by sprinkling the plants with fungicides. Explant surface sterilization is the most optimal with fungicide for 24 hours, followed by immersion bactericide and fungicide for 30 minutes, immersion in 70 % alcohol for 1 min, followed by 10 minutes clorox 15 %, and 10 % clorox 10 minutes.

Abstract

Gastropods are known to have a wide distribution. They can live in a variety of habitats and influenced by various environmental factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the diversity of gastropods and its relationship with the physical and chemical environment of a water. This research was an ecological research with correlational descriptive type. The selection of Marsegu Island was based on the fact that the area is a conservation area, both the forest and sea are frequently visited by tourists. The results of this research showed that there were 22 species of gastropod found in the water of Marsegu Island. The most commonly found was from the genus of Cypraea (5 species). Gastropods found mostly from the family of Strombidae which consisted of 4 genera i.e. Lambis, Canarium, Strombus and Lentigo. The value of gastropod diversity in the three research stations was moderate, 2.93, 2.91 and 2.95 respectively. In addition, there is a correlation between environmental factors and the diversity of gastropods. The simultaneous effect of the independent variables toward the dependent variables can be explained by the magnitude of the determination coefficient (R Square) which was 0528 or 52.8%. Result of this study confirms that the environmental factors greatly affects the diversity of Gastropod in the coastal waters of Marsegu island. The results can provide benefits as control over fishing and coastal pollution due to human activities.

Abstract

Telomeres are strands of non coding DNA at the ends of chromosomes that have the primary function to protect DNA from damage and maintain chromosomal stability. Physical exercise will increase the antioxidant activity can increase telomere proteins, lengthen telomeres and or protein networks associated with telomere so that the telomere remains long, or stopping telomere shortening. Telomere length was also associated with age. The purpose of the research was to determine telomere length of leukocyte cells in the KONI (Indonesian National Sports Committee) athletes in Jakarta. The research method is descriptive, by measuring telomere length using quantitative PCR on leukocyte cells. Samples are KONI athletes from several sports, including men and women athletes, with ages between 15-20 years. Used a control group (not athletes) is students of the Faculty of Medicine, University of YARSI. The results showed that there was no significant difference (p 0.05) between telomere length group of athletes with the control group in both sexes. Similarly, telomere length between athlete male with female athletes also showed no significant difference (p 0.05). It was concluded that physical exercise in athletes KONI at the age of 15- 20 years had no effect on telomere length in leukocytes. The results of this study provide information about the telomere length in Indonesian athletes at an early age.
