Abstract

Borax is a prohibited food additive but is still found in processed foods in Indonesia. This study aims to evaluate Saraca asoca leaf extract as a natural indicator for borax detection. The extract was prepared using 70% ethanol and tested on borax solutions and food samples. The results showed a color change from brownish-green to yellow with increasing borax concentration, starting at 1.0%. Similar changes in several samples indicated the presence of borax. This change is related to interactions between flavonoid and tannin compounds and borate ions. Therefore, Saraca asoca extract has potential as a simple natural indicator for visual borax detection

Abstract

Mitosis is a cell division process that plays an important role in plant growth. This study aimed to determine the effect of well water and soapy water on the mitotic activity of onion root cells (Allium cepa L.). This research used a descriptive observational method through laboratory practicum with onion roots as the research object. Data were collected through direct observation using a light microscope on mitotic phases of onion root preparations stained with acetocarmine. The results showed that well water produced better root growth and mitotic activity than soapy water. The phases of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase were more clearly observed in the well water treatment, while fewer dividing cells and damaged tissues were found in the soapy water treatment. It can be concluded that soapy water has a negative effect on the mitotic activity of onion root cells.

Abstract

Domestic wastewater has the potential to pollute the environment because it contains pathogenic microorganisms, including fecal coliform bacteria as indicators of biological contamination. This study aimed to determine the presence of fecal coliform in wastewater samples using the Most Probable Number (MPN) method. The research was conducted from February 2 to February 6, 2026, at the Public Health Laboratory Center (BLKM) Medan. The study used a descriptive method with a five-tube MPN technique through presumptive testing using Lauryl Tryptose Broth (LTB) medium and confirmed testing using EC Broth referring to EPA Method 1680. The results showed variations in fecal coliform MPN values in each wastewater sample. Samples AL8, AL9, AL11, and AL12 showed the highest MPN value of >1600 MPN/100 mL, while samples AL1, AL2, and AL6 showed the lowest MPN value of <1.8 MPN/100 mL. The MPN method using LTB and EC Broth media was effective in detecting fecal coliform contamination in wastewater samples.

Abstract

Keamanan pangan merupakan aspek krusial dalam menjaga kesehatan masyarakat dari penyakit bawaan makanan (foodborne disease) akibat kontaminasi bakteri patogen seperti Salmonella sp. pada berbagai tahapan pangan, khususnya produk hewani yang tidak diproses secara higienis. Infeksi bakteri Gram negatif ini dapat menyebabkan salmonellosis dengan gejala gangguan pencernaan hingga komplikasi serius pada kelompok rentan, sehingga pemeriksaan mikrobiologi pangan sangat penting untuk melindungi konsumen. Dalam analisisnya, tahap pra-pengkayaan (pre-enrichment) menggunakan media cair non-selektif Buffer Peptone Water (BPW) menjadi langkah awal yang sangat vital untuk memulihkan sel bakteri yang stres atau rusak akibat pengolahan, sekaligus meningkatkan sensitivitas deteksinya. Oleh karena itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk membahas prosedur pemeriksaan Salmonella sp. pada sampel makanan serta teknik pembuatan media BPW. Melalui pemahaman metode ini, diharapkan pengetahuan mengenai pengujian mikrobiologi pangan dapat meningkat sebagai upaya preventif terhadap kontaminasi bakteri pada makanan.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis keberadaan bakteri coliform pada sampel air limbah menggunakan metode Most Probable Number (MPN). Air limbah yang tidak diolah dengan baik berpotensi menjadi sumber pencemaran lingkungan dan penyebaran mikroorganisme patogen. Digunakann media Lauryl Tryptose Broth (LTB) pada uji pendugaan dan Brilliant Green Lactose Bile Broth (BGLB) pada uji penegasan. Sebanyak 15 sampel air limbah dianalisis untuk menentukan jumlah bakteri coliform. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar sampel terkontaminasi bakteri coliform dengan nilai MPN yang bervariasi antara <1,8 hingga >1600 MPN/100 mL. Beberapa sampel menunjukkan tingkat pencemaran yang sangat tinggi, sedangkan beberapa lainnya tidak terdeteksi mengandung coliform. Perbedaan tingkat pencemaran dipengaruhi oleh kondisi sanitasi, kandungan bahan organik, suhu, dan karakteristik sumber limbah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar sampel belum memenuhi standar kualitas mikrobiologis sehingga diperlukan pengelolaan limbah yang lebih baik.

Abstract

Acidic soil is one of the major constraints in maize cultivation because low soil pH can increase the solubility of Al and Fe, inhibit root growth, and reduce nutrient availability, particularly phosphorus. Rhizosphere bacteria have the potential to support plant growth through various mechanisms; therefore, the exploration of local bacterial isolates from acidic soil environments is important. This study aimed to isolate and characterize rhizosphere bacteria associated with hybrid maize grown in acidic soil in Moncongloe Village, Maros Regency. Bacterial isolation was carried out using serial dilution and cultivation on Nutrient Agar (NA) medium, followed by colony purification and characterization based on colony morphology, Gram reaction using 3% KOH, and catalase activity using 3% H₂O₂. The results showed that 14 bacterial isolates were obtained from maize rhizosphere samples for further characterization. All isolates showed a Gram-positive reaction, while the catalase test revealed that 11 isolates (78.57%) were catalase-positive and 3 isolates (21.43%) were catalase-negative. Differences in morphological and basic biochemical characteristics indicate the diversity of rhizosphere bacterial isolates capable of growing under acidic soil conditions. These isolates have the potential to serve as local microbial candidates for biofertilizer development; however, further studies are required to evaluate their PGPR functional traits, biosafety, and molecular identification.

Abstract

This study aimed to the diversity of rhizosphere bacterial isolates associated with maize (Zea mays L.) cultivated in acidic soils of Maros Regency, South Sulawesi Province. Acidic soils characterized by low pH and limited nutrients, but the ability of microorganisms can adapt according to their habitat. However, microorganisms, particularly rhizosphere bacteria, exhibit remarkable adaptability to such conditions. The research employed serial dilution and culture on Nutrient Agar (NA) media to isolate bacteria from rhizosphere soil samples. A total of 14 bacterial isolates were toward will different morphological characteristics. All bacterial isolates found are Gram-positive bacteria. The findings reveal a high diversity of rhizosphere bacterial isolates, suggesting their potential role in enhancing plant growth as biofertilizers. Further research is necessary to evaluate the physiological and molecular potential of these bacterial isolates in nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and the production of plant growth hormones. Additionally, exploring the potential application of these bacteria as biocontrol agents or biofertilizers could contribute to improving maize productivity in acidic soils
