Abstract

The acute toxicity of Jatropa curcas leaves on Balb/C male mice was studied in rats. This research aimed to determine acute toxicity, evaluate spectrum of toxic effect and mechanism that caused the death of animal test after administration of ethanolic extract of J. curcas leaves, single dosage orally on 24 hours observation. The research used male mice, which are divided into 5 groups. Group I was negative control with CMC-Na. Group II, III, IV, and V were given extract with dose of 1400 mg/kgBW, 2240 mg/kgBW, 3584 mg/kgBW and 5734 mg/kgBW, respectively. Evaluation of the toxic symptoms and death of animal test was done for 24 hours. If the animal test was died before 24 hours then it underwent surgery to take the heart, liver, lung, and kidney. In the end of the evaluation, all mice were killed to take the vital organs for histopathologic examination. No mortality was observed during study. The test resulted LD50 of ethanolic extract from J. curcas leaves using Balb/C male mice was 5734 mg/kg of BW. It was categorized as practically not toxic. Administration of the extract did not cause alterations of animal behaviours. Histopathology examination shows inflammation in lung, liver, and kidney after administration of the extract.

Abstract

Observations on pelagic fish catch activities using bagan Rambo in Makassar Strait had been conducted in 2005and 2006 to obtain physical, chemical, and biological data and their processes in the operation of bagan Rambo inthe observation sites. The objective of the study was to overcome the overfishing problems which have beenhappenning in Makassar Strait, using a model of the trophic level approaches. Nine observation stations were setin three transects perpendicular to the coast. The measurement of physical, chemical, and biological parameterswere conducted monthly. Biological parameters measured were chlorophyll-a, and the abundance of phytoplanktonand zooplankton. Phytoplankton primary productivity, grazing mortality of phytoplankton by zooplankton, numberof catch of fish, and fish feeding habit were also measured. Run of the built model based on the data obtainedshowed that with the present catch-pressure (assuming that this was the start of catching operation), there wouldbe an overfishing starting in the 26 th or 27th month onward. Meanwhile, if the catch were half of the present, thenthere would be an overfishing in the 31 st or 32nd month, but would back to the sustainable production months afterthat. The model is still being developed by finding and adding more accurate data and parameters.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to gain further understanding of how particular insect species respons to different host plants. This research isconsidered as preliminary research in integrated pest management for Spodoptera exigua. We report herein the consumption and utilizationof green onion (Allium fistulosum), caisin (Brassica rapa subsp. Parachinensis) and celery (Apium graveolens) by Spodoptera exigua. Theevaluation of indices of food consumption, growth and food utilization showed that caisin (Brassica rapa subsp. Parachinensis) was the bestfood for the last instar larvae of S. exigua as compared with celery or green onion. Growth rates and efficiency of conversion of ingestedfood to biomass (ECI) were significantly higher for larvae fed caisin (11.93%) than for those given green onion (8.06%) or celery (7.74%)Although the protein content of caisin (2.23%) was a bit lower than that of green onion (2.45%) but higher than celery (1.28%), we suspectthat the larvae performed best in caisin due to good balance between protein and carbohydrate as well as water content in caisin as comparedwith other host plants.

Abstract

Marine microorganism is one of biologically active potential resources of secondary metabolites. Its potency areso promising that the knowledge of how its secondary metabolite occured need to be studied and collected. Thoseknowledges will enable further study is improving secondary metabolite production in the laboratory. In nature,secondary metabolites synthesis occur when there are effect of both biotic and abiotic factors such as sea waterand microbe symbiosis with other living materials. When this is explained in metabolic pathways, secondarymetabolite synthesis affected by available nutrient and regulated by autoinducer molecules through quorum sensingmechanism

Abstract

Cancer is a disease that is characterized by the existence of damage and cell abnormality in growth and differentiation. Liver cancer is a disorder of hepar tissue derivated from its tumors. Taurine is known as antioxidant but its role as anticancer needs to be explored more as well the role of Annona muricata leaf extract which is believed to have its role as anticancer substance. This research, therefore, aimed to explore the effect of taurine and Annona muricata leaf extract on the hepar histopathology of male mice (Mus musculus) induced by benzo(α)pyren in vivo. This research was carried out by using a complete randomized design, which consisted of 5 treatment groups which was repeated 5 times. Group I was given 0.2 mL corn oil for 15 days, group II was induced by benzo(α)pyren without taurin nor A. Muricata leaf extract for 10 days, group III was given 7.8 mg taurine/BW/day (twice a day) starting from the 15 th days before the induction of benzo(α)pyren, group IV, after induced with benzo(α)pyren, taurine was given with dosage of 7.8 mg/BW/day, group V, after induced with benzo(α)pyren, soursop leaf extract was given with amount of 277.8 mg/BW/day. Data analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test and one way ANOVA with Fisher test (p>0.05). The results indicated that taurine had ability to recover the liver tissue induced by benzo(α)pyren as (carcinogenic) while, Annona muricata leaf extract had not shown any recover of tissue damage

Abstract

Production of biodiesel has been done by many institutions; however the materials used are usually competedwith food such as palm oil, therefore it has lesser economical value. The use of Callophyllum inophyllum plant inIndonesia is very limited and the seeds are usually thrown away the contain high oil relatively. This plant is relativelyeasy to grow and has seasonal fruiting mostly planted as shading plant in rural area and also as land slide resistingplant. The plant is normally utilized for light construction and burning wood. The technology for producing biodieselis simple and can be easily introduced to the society. Biodiesel produced from easily obtained and low costmaterials will improve a society’s energy independency and well-being. This paper presents the process of producingbiodiesel from Callophyllum inophyllum oil and rubbing alcohol using superficial lime (CaO) as the solid catalystthat is cheap and easily obtained, therefore this technology can be easily transferred to the society and willimprove the economical value of the plant. Referring to the varieties used, relatively good condition was at 1:3 molratio of Callophyllum inophyllum oil to rubbing alcohol and the amount of catalyst used was 0.3-0.5% of the rubbingalcohol. Physical characteristics of the produced biodisel were such as specific gravity at 60/600F was 0.870, flashpoint P.M.cc was 1950C and pour point was 40C.

Abstract

Seagrasses in the Air Bangis Archipelago, west coast of Sumatra were found growing in sandy muddy substratesof the shallow coastal waters at depth of 0.3-2.5 m, dominated by degraded coral reefs around the off-shoreislands. Two species; Enhalus acoroides (L.f) Royle and Thalassia hemprichii (Ehrenb) Aschers were observed atPulau Unggas, Pulau Pasir Panjang and Teluk Tapang. Halodule uninervis (Forssk) Aschers was observed in twolocations; Pasir Panjang and Teluk Tapang. The occurrence of this species is unknown previously and therefore itis a new flora record for Sumatra. With this new record, Sumatra has six species of seagrasses, contributing tohalf of total number of seagrasses occurring in Indonesia. According to leaf width measurements, two morphologicalvariants (narrow and wide leaved) can be distinguished for Halodule uninervis. In addition, descriptions of thespecies and their habitat characteristic are provided.

Abstract

Xylanase is the enzyme with prospec for hydrolysis hemicellulases. Many industry use xylanase thermostable. This processes require enzymes which are operationally stable at high temperature thus allowing e.g. easy mixing, better substrate solubility, high mass transfer rate, and lower risk of contamination. Thermophiles have often been proposed as sources of industrially relevant thermostable enzymes. Thermophilic bacteria, live at hot-springs, are can produced thermostable enzymes. In this work, we studied the bacteria strains isolated from water collected in the Sonai hot-springs of Southeast Sulawesi region and condition production enzyme. Screaning bacteria xylanolitic use semi-quantitative detection at agar plate with xilan, and quantitative detection activity enzyme. Result experinces in the 28 isolates screened, isolat IIA-3 (Pseudomonas sp.) showed the highest xylanase production. Organism efficiently used 2% rice straw as substrates. Pseudomonas sp. was used to hydrolyses rice straw at 50oC, agitation 150 rpm and pH 9.

Abstract

Chlorophyll as photosynthetic pigment has many benefits to human such as antioxidant, antibacterial, color additive,immunity, and photosensitizer. Concerning to these applications, chlorophyll a will react with oxygen and light andreduce its effectiveness. It is then important to understand the stability of chlorophyll a on oxygen and light.Stability of chlorophyll a in the presence of beta-carotene (1:1) in acetone was studied for various waterconcentrations. Each solution was exposed to red light (ë e” 630 nm) for 0.5; 1.0; 2.5; 5.0; 10; 20; 30; 40; 50; and 60minutes and their spectrum were analysed. When water was added (8.33; 16.67; 25; 33.33; 41.67; 50; 58.33; 66.67;75; and 83.33 percent) to the acetone solution of chlorophyll a, the chlorophylls aggregate, and in the presence ofbeta-carotene, the chlorophyll more stable. The water shifts the chlorophyll a spectrum toward red duringillumination with or without the presence of carotene. The formation of oligomeric chlorophyll a aggregate occurswithin 10-20 minutes after the water was applied. This strategy of aggregating the chlorophylls to dissipateexcess energy captured from light does not support the photostability of chlorophyll as much as beta-carotene.Surprisingly, when beta carotene was mixed with 66.7% and 75.0% of water, the chlorophyll a degraded 5.56% and9.71% respectively. In conclusion, the aggregate form of chlorophyll a and the presence of beta-carotene increasephotostability of chlorophyll a in acetone solution.

Abstract

Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) is a perennial plant belonging to the family of Lamiaceae which have been widely used in traditional herbal medicine. In the present study, the extracts of the leaves of P. amboinicus that was extracted by different solvents were evaluated for their antioxidant and antibacterial properties. The fresh leaves of the plant were extracted using subsequent methanol, n-hexane and dichloromethane. The antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH free radical scavenging assay and the antimicrobial activity was tested against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus by agar well diffusion assay. The results of antioxidant activity test showed that dichloromethane extract of the leaves had the highest antioxidant activity among all with  IC50 value of 50.2 μg/mL Methanol and n-hexane extracts were still active in DPPH with IC50 value of 71.3 μg/mL and 205.9 μg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the dichloromethane and methanol ektracts have shown a promising antibacterial activity in E. coli. The findings indicated that dichloromethane and methanol extracts of the leaves of P. amboinicus were potential further study as herbal medicine as they showed high antioxidant and antibacterial activities.
