Abstract

The diversity of an organism can be studied down to the cellular level. Cytological data related to certain organisms obtained can be used as information to classify these organisms. One of them is by examining the number and karyotypes owned by organisms. A karyotype is a chromosomal phenotype that includes its structural description. The purpose of this study is to see the difference in the number and karyotype of chromosomes in species belonging to the order Anura in Indonesia. The method used is a literature study of various studies related to chromosomes of species belonging to the order Anura. Based on the results of the analysis, there are differences in the number and karyotype of several species classified in the order Anura. The species of the order Anura studied in this study are Rana rufipes, Rana parvaccola, Huia sumatrana, Fejervarya limnocharis, Limnonectes cf. grunniens, Limnonectes cf. modestus, Fejervarya cancrivora, Limnonectes blythii, Polypedates celebensis, Polypedates leucomystax, Microhyla pulchra, which belongs to the families Ranidae, Dicroglossidae, Rhacophoridae, and Microhylidae. The variation in the number of diploid chromosomes of the organism studied was in the range of 22-26 chromosomes. In addition to the number of chromosomes, there are also differences in chromosomal karyotypes in each organism

Abstract

The Depati Karo Jayo Tuo Customary Forest represents a rich ecosystem of Sumatran rainforest biodiversity. Observations reveal dense canopy cover and various terrestrial fern species, yet information regarding the diversity of terrestrial ferns remains limited. Exploratory research is essential to uncover the biodiversity of terrestrial ferns in this area, including their conservation to support effective conservation strategies, protect species and ecosystems. This study aims to identify the diversity of terrestrial fern species and evaluate their conservation status. The research employs the cruise method in the trekking path of the forest. Environmental factors measured include soil temperature, soil moisture, pH, air temperature, humidity, and light intensity. Species identification is based on the identification keys of ferns. Conservation status was analyzed based on IUCN and CITES. The study found 49 species divided into Filicinae class (45 species, 24 genera, 18 families, 5 orders) and Lycopodiinae (4 species, 1 genus, 1 family, 1 order). According to the IUCN, 32 species are categorized as Not Evaluated, 2 species as Least Concern (LC), and 15 species remain uncategorized. CITES data revealed that one species is listed under Appendix II, so it is important to protect biodiversity in the Depati Karo Jayo Tuo Customary Forest.

Abstract

Budidaya tanaman cabai di Indonesia saat ini sangat bergantung terhadap penggunaan pestisida sintetik.  Pestisida sintetik sangat buruk terhadap kelestarian lingkungan seperti berkurangnya jumlah dan jenis musuh alami. Kondisi tersebut mendorong penemuan teknik pengendalian hama dan penyakit yang lebih ramah lingkungan seperti penggunaan refugia. Refugia yang sering digunakan adalah Zinnia sp. Namun morfologi Zinnia sp belum banyak diketahui terutama tentang penologi bunga sehingga sulit menentukan waktu penanaman yang tepat agar efektif dalam mengendalikan hama. Hal ini yang menjadi dasar dilakukannya penelitian penggunaan refugia Zinnia sp pada tanaman cabai.  Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan penanaman refugia Zinnia sp sebanyak 20 tanaman di setiap pinggir bedengan. Pengamatan dilakukan dengan mengamati perkembangan bunga Zinnia sp setiap hari serta mengidentifikasi hama dan musuh alami.  Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan diketahui serangga menyukai bunga Zinnia sp pada fase X sampai XII. Hama yang ditemukan pada lahan adalah orong-orong (Gryllotalpa sp.), lalat pengorok daun (Liriomyza sp.), kutu kebul (Aphis craccivora), trips (Thrips spp.), tungau (P. latus), lalat buah (Bactrocera spp.). Musuh alami  yang ditemukan pada lahan adalah Hemiptarsenus varicornis, Eriborus argenteopilosus, Menochilus sexmaculatus. Kesimpulan yang dapat diambil dari penelitian ini adalah Zinnia memiliki potensi yang tinggi untuk digunakan sebagai refugia dan penanaman Zinnia sp sebaiknya dilakukan satu bulan lebih awal dari penanaman cabai.

Abstract

The accumulation of plastic waste is one of the main problems being faced by various countries in the world. The nature of plastic which is not easily degraded naturally will consequently be buried in the soil so that it will gradually change the soil components. Plastic belongs to a group of multifunctional complex polymers which have become conventional products in all sectors of life. The use of plastic on a large scale has an effect on increasing the amount of waste, such as the types of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plastics. This study aims to obtain indigenous bacterial isolated from various soil samples in the landfill area and mangrove forests in Surabaya on the degree of degradation of HDPE and LDPE plastic polymers. Two places namely the final disposal site (TPA) and the Keputih bamboo forest in Surabaya. Sampling at landfill sites and mangrove forests. Then isolate the bacteria from soil samples and plastic waste obtained. Next, purification and screening of HDPE and LDPE polymer plastic degrading bacteria. The results of the isolation succeeded in obtaining 19 types of isolates that can grow on media containing plastic, with the majority having the characteristics of bacilli, Gram negative, catalase positive, capable/incapable of fermenting glucose and lactose and having cell sizes between 1-5 µm. Screening test results obtained that isolate 2 (K1D2U2 KPH) isolated from the Keputih Final Disposal Site (TPA) was identified as a Bacillus sp., with HDPE degradation ability of 27.13% and Isolate 17 (K2D3U1 MWJ) which was isolated from the Wonorejo mangrove forest was identified as a Pseudomonas sp. with LDPE degradation ability of 21.64%.   Keywords: Plastics, HDPE, LDPE, Pseudomonas sp. and Bacillus sp.

Abstract

Abstract Macaca fascicularis, included in the Cercopithecidae family, have a significant ecological role, one of which is as a disperser of seeds from the fruits they consume. M. fascicularis is tolerant to different types of natural and non-natural food (human food waste and rubbish), so it is currently an omnivorous animal. It can be found not only in primary and secondary forests but also in habitats close to human activity. M. fascicularis in Bali can be found in sacred areas such as temples, one of which is in the Pulaki temple area. This research aimed to determine the variety of food choices of M. fascicularis in the Pulaki temple area. This research was conducted from June to October 2023. M. fascicularis in the Pulaki Temple area was divided into four groups: Madya, Medal, Pabean, and Parkiran. The daily activities of M. fascicularis observed in this study were sleeping, grooming, sexual activity, moving, eating, caring for children, playing, and agonistic (violent activity). Based on calculations, the consumption situs big77 of non-natural foods had a higher frequency (87.18%) than natural foods (12.78%). During the research, M. fascicularis in the Pura Pulaki area had the highest preference for Gemitir flowers (n=2299). Gemitir flowers are one of the offerings fillings by Hindus who perform prayers. The high consumption of non-natural food by M. fascicularis in this area was due to several factors, namely, the lack of natural food sources and the low level of human awareness for not providing non-natural food, thus changing the animals' natural behavior. This behavior change could alter the role of animals in the ecological niche, thereby reducing the balance of the ecosystem. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the natural behavior of animals by increasing natural food sources and creating clear rules regarding the prohibition of feeding animals to visitors.

Abstract

Fruit flies are important pests of citrus crops. Identifying fruit fly species is very important to make the appropriate conclusions in determining controlling methods. This study was intended to establish the dominant species, diversity index, and identification of fruit fly species in Siam citrus (Citrus nobilis Lour.) orchards in situs gacor777 Dau District, Malang Regency, Indonesia. This study was conducted in two habitat types: close and far from residential areas. Six petrogenol-treated traps were placed at each location from December 2022 to February 2023, and every two weeks, the fruit flies caught in the traps were counted as part of the survey. The results showed that three species, namely B. dorsalis, B. carambolae, and B. umbrosa, were found in locations close to residential areas, while B. umbrosa was not found in locations far from residential areas. The dominant species was B. dorsalis in both locations. The diversity index of Bactrocera spp. in orchards close to residential areas was 1.14 (moderate), and Spearman's analysis (0.913) showed a more substantial influence than in orchards far from residential areas. Climatic factors of air humidity, air pressure, and host availability play an essential role in the presence of fruit flies.

Abstract

The growth of Neural Stem Cell (NSC) in adult organisms is limited. Therefore, growth factors are needed to stimulate NSC cell proliferation and differentiation. Herbal Curcumin may be a growth factor. We promoted the growth of Cryopreserved Rat Cortical NSC cells with Curcumin (0.1 µM; 0.5 µM; 1 µM; 2 µM), DMSO, and synthetic growth factors (bFGF, TGF, and heparin). We analyzed the proliferation ability of NSCs by WST-1 assay, cell morphology, and expression of NCS cell marker genes (Nestin, MAP, and Sox2). Morphological analysis showed that cells reproduced big77 optimally at 0.5 µM. The one-way ANOVA and Tukey's posthoc test on the WST-1 test showed significant differences between 0.5 µMCurcumin and other treatment groups. Sox2, MAP-2, and Nestin gene expression peaked at 0.5 µM. The appropriate concentration of Curcumin to stimulate NSC proliferation is 0.5 µM. Herbal extract curcumin has the same effect as commercial growth factors and can substitute synthetic growth factors. Curcumin acts as a growth factor that stimulates the proliferation of mouse NSCs.
