Abstract

Thermophilic bacteria are bacteria that can produce thermostable enzymes and used in various industries. Thermostable enzymes that can be produced by thermophilic microorganisms one of them is xylanase enzyme. Xylanase produced by microbes has optimum temperature characteristics and more diverse optimum pH on various substrates, which will affect the activity of the resulting xylanase enzyme. The influence of temperature greatly determines the activity of the enzyme at the time of catalyzing a reaction. At optimum pH conditions, the enzyme has an active side conformation that is substrate-like so that it can form a complex of appropriate enzymes and produce the product to its full potential. One of the thermophilic bacterial habitats of hot springs in West Sumatera is the Aro Sapan River hot spring located in Koto Parik Gadang Subdistrict in Ateh, South Solok District. The Saw Aro River hot spring has a temperature of 75 ° C and is pH 8 or alkaline. The aim to this research was to know the profile of the growth of thermophilic bacteria. This research is a descriptive method. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The conclusion is the best activity of xylanase thermophilic bacteria was at the sixth time incubation.

Abstract

The need for cassava starch is increasing along with its aplication in industries. Our study aim to determine the yield and production of starch from several local cassava genotypes. Forty-one cassava genotypes from LIPI collection were used to produce starch. Cassava tubers were harvested from five trees of each genotype. The number and the weight of tuber from each genotypes were then calculated. Around 2500 grams of tuber from each genotypes were grated and extracted to produce the starch. The results showed that cassava with the highest yield was Kristal Merah (15,460 Kg), and followed by PNG1 (15,1Kg), Menti (9,970Kg) and Roti (9,380Kg). The genotype with the highest tuber weight is PNG1, and then followed by Roti , Menti  and Kristal Merah. Eleven genotypes of cassava produced starch with levels above 25%. Based on our results, the genotypes that potentially used as raw material for the starch industry were Kristal Merah, PNG, Menti and Roti.Keywords: cassava, genotypes,  starch, tuber’s weight, yield

Abstract

Dug well water generally is a daily source of domestic water used by most households in Indonesia. However, the well water excavation does not meet the quality of health standards. Contamination of microorganism in dug well water occurs due to the distance of wells with septic tank, household waste disposal and animal husbandry. One of the bioindicators of contaminated groundwater is the presence of Coliform bacteria in large quantities, such as Escherichia coli, which potentially cause various diseases in human. The objective of this study was to determine the biological contamination of dug wells water in Ungga, Iting Bengkel Village, Central Lombok. This study was observational study and sampling method used purposive sampling with the number of samples was 6 dug wells. The biological contamination indicator was determined by calculating the index of Most Probable Number (MPN) Coliform. The laboratory analysis included the analysis Escherichia coli by MPN. The result showed that a total of 6 wells with distance 3.45 meters and 4.70 meters against septic tank has MPN coliform value 1898 per 100 ml. The result of water samples from 2 dug wells has contaminated by Escherichia Coli and has reached amount 14 per 100 ml (A3) and 16 per 100 ml (B3).

Abstract

Background and objective.The response of rice plants to drought stress was preceded by physiological response in the form of reduction of transpiration rate to reduce water loss by closing stomata, reducing stomata, and decreasing leaf surface area by leaf rolling. Therefore, it is necessary to research the morphological character and physiological character of plants such as leaf area analysis and stomata index to find out their response to drought stress and without drought. Based on this, this research is aimed to know the area and index of stemata leaves of rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) varieties of Cisokan and Batang Piaman due to drought stress.Methodology. Drought treatment was performed by withholding water for 12 days in greenhouse.Data were taken destructively on days 0, 4, 6 and 12 after treatment. Result. Drought stress had an effect on decreasing leaf area and stomata index on both varieties. The lowest leaf area is found in Cisokan variety. Likewise with the stomata index, the lowest yield after 12 days of treatment was found in the Cisokan variety. Low leaf area and stomatal index are known to be more resistant to drought because they can reduce the rate of transpiration in plants. Keywords:    Drouhgt stress, Leaf Area, Stomata index

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.
