Abstract

Biodiversity is one of local wisdom that should be kept and maintained. Several local governments have different ways of managing and maintaining their existence, including in Krimun village-Losarang, Indramayu District, West Java Province. This study is aimed at finding the information about Suku Dayak people in Losarang (which is not same as Dayak in Borneo Island), how they manage and utilize biodiversity in their surroundings, and how it relates to the local wisdom. This is a qualitative research with instruments consists of interview sheets, field notes, and audio-visual documentation. The subject of this research is the Suku Losarang Dayak people whom are selected through incidental sampling techniques. The study of Ethnobotany includes utilization of 56 species plants as food, three species as boards, nine species for medicine, two species for aesthetics, and nine species for rituals. Ethnoecology here means the conservation of community of the Suku Dayak Losarang people toward surrounding ecosystems that are conserved for the needs of farming, shelter, and ritual. Concerning for ethnozoology, none of the species was used because they have a principle "ngaji rasa". This principle means that they would not be allowed to consume or to make use of the living creatures.

Abstract

Jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba [Roxb] Miq.) is one type of tree that has a high prospect for industrial plantations and reforestation in Indonesia, due to its very fast growth and relatively easy silvicultural treatment. The growth of a plant is strongly influenced by photosynthesis. The process of photosynthesis can take place because of the presence of pigments called chlorophyll. The formation of chlorophyll is influenced by environmental factors. Therefore, studies have been carried out on the chlorophyll content of Jabon leaves in different locations. This research was conducted from March to May 2019. The samples came from the Sungai Nyalo, Pesisir Selatan, and Lubuk Alung, Padang Pariaman. While the chlorophyll content of Jabon leaves was tested at the Laboratory of Plant Physiology, Department of Biology, FMIPA UNP. This research is a descriptive study that was analyzed by the T test at a significant level of 5%. The results showed that there were differences in the chlorophyll content of Jabon leaves in the Sungai Nyalo, Pesisir Selatan with value 44,26 (mg/g) and Lubuk Alung, Padang Pariaman with value 19,45 (mg/g).

Abstract

This study aims to understand the growth response of indigenous bacteria originating from oil sludge in Dumai which has the potential as Naphthalene and Fenantren degrading agents based on variations in substrate pH. The isolates used in this study were Isolate A, Isolate E, and Isolate F as a result of isolation from oil sludge in Dumai. Based on the results of the growth response test on various concentration in previous studies, we chose E isolates to be tested for its degradation ability. The bacterial growth response data was obtained based on OD measurements every 24 hours using a spectrophotometer and TPC at 72 hours using Nutrient Agar media. Based on these data, we determined the optimum pH for indigenous bacterial growth potential to degrade naphthalene or phenanthrene. In all variations of pH, bacterial isolate E experienced growth. This shows that bacterium E can use naphthalene and fenantren at normal pH range (pH 5-9).

Abstract

Probiotic bacteria was one of the biological control agents (biological control). It had a role in suppressing or killing pathogenic microorganisms. In addition, it also played a role in improving water quality as in fish maintenance media. The basic principle of probiotics was the utilization of the ability of microorganisms to increase absorption in the digestive tract of fish. Probiotic bacteria were able to produce antimicrobial compounds such as lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, bacteriocin. These compounds were antimicrobial and antibiotic that can suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria. The purpose of this study was to detect candidate probiotic bacteria from the mangrove tourism area in Klawalu, Sorong City, West Papua. The results of screening for probiotic bacteria candidates by using selective media, from 16 samples consisting of water samples and mud samples’ obtained 11 positive samples, there were probiotic bacteria candidates with the bacterial morphological characteristics of each colony was almost similar. Keywords: Probiotic Bacteria, Mangrove Land, Sorong City

Abstract

Indonesia as an agricultural country rich in various types of plants including tubers. The purpose of this study was to produce and apply complex amylase enzymes from Aspergillus awamori KT-11 in hydrolyzing cassava and taro starch to liquid sugar. The production of complex amylase enzymes is carried out in a liquid and solid medium. The hydrolysis of starch into sugar is carried out with several enzyme concentrations (2-10%) and starch concentrations (5-25%) at room temperature (30ºC) and 60⁰C for 3 hours, 24 hours - 72 hours. TLC tests were carried out on sugar from hydrolysis of cassava starch and taro flour to determine the type of sugar formed.As a result, the highest enzyme activity was obtained in the solid medium formation (242.83 Units/ml).  The best condition for hydrolyzing starch is 15% starch concentration, 10% enzyme concentration at 60ºC for 72 hours. The results of hydrolysis sugar were 9.52 mg / ml (taro) and 9.37 mg/ml (cassava) respectively, with an incubation time of 72 hours.The TLC analysis showed that sugar Rf from cassava was detected as lactose and Rf from Talas flour as maltose.
