Abstract

Study of the antibacterial ability of soursop leaf extract (Annona muricata L.) in inhibiting the growth of Vibrio sp. The maceration method with 70% ethanol solvent was used in this research to determine the yield, then the extract was diluted in stages from a concentration of 100% to 3.125%. The antibacterial test was done using the disc diffusion method in TCBS media and a phytochemical test was carried out on soursop leaves to analyze the secondary metabolite content. The extract yield obtained in this study was 3.77%. The test results showed that the largest zone of inhibition was found at 100% extract concentration of 11.45mm. The smallest inhibition zone was found in the 6.25% extract with an inhibition zone of 1.44mm, the diameter of the positive control (tetracycline) inhibition zone was 22.75mm, the diameter of 10% DMSO as a negative control was 0 mm. Phytochemical tests of soursop leaves show that they contain alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, saponins and tannins.

Abstract

Research was carried out by analyzing the antibacterial ability of the ethanol extractof mangrove Rhizopora apiculata leaves against Vibrio sp. Maceration using 70%ethanol resulted in an extract yield of 3.09%. The highest average inhibition zoneresults were found in mangrove leaf extract at a concentration of 100% with aninhibition zone of 24.68 mm. The smallest inhibition zone was found in mangrove leafextract with a concentration of 6.25% with an inhibition zone of 3.85 mm, a positivecontrol inhibition zone (30 mg tetracycline) of 26.35 mm and a negative controlinhibition zone (DMSO 10%) of 0 mm. This can be seen from the results of theaverage inhibition zone which shows strong antibacterial activity of mangrove leafextract at a concentration of 100% and moderate antibacterial activity of mangroveleaf extract at a concentration of 75% to 50% and no antibacterial activity atconcentrations of mangrove leaf extract below 25 %, the positive control inhibitionzone (30 mg tetracycline) was 26.35 mm and the negative control inhibition zone(DMSO 10%) was 0 mm. Phytochemical analysis was also carried out on mangroveleaves with the results showing the presence of several visible secondary metabolites.The secondary metabolites found in Rhizopora apiculata mangrove leaves consist ofalkaloids, flavanoids, steroids, saponins and tannins.

Abstract

The large number of activities without being balanced with sufficient consumption of drinking water can affect the hydration status of the body, namely the occurrence of dehydration. The study aims to describe the short-term hydration status of D-III Nursing Study Program students in terms of the PURI test results. The method used is the PURI test, namely the urine self-check method which is carried out in 2 tests. The research also used a survey method to support the results of the PURI test. Based on the results of the study, the short-term hydration status of D-III Nursing Study Program students based on the PURI test on the results of the 1st test showed that most of the students 15% experienced mild dehydration and 72% experienced severe dehydration. This is related to the habit of students who never bring drinking water to campus and most students do not consume enough water during the range of lecture hours until the lecture is over. The results of the 2nd PURI test showed that 76% of students had good hydration status because prior to testing students were encouraged to consume sufficient amounts of water. The results of the study show that students awareness of meeting body fluids to maintain body fluid homeostasis needs to be increased.

Abstract

An analysis of the antibacterial ability of Vibrio sp. has been carried out from the ethanol extract of Ulva lactuca seaweed and its phytochemical study. Analysis of the antibacterial ability of Vibrio sp. using the disk diffusion method was the main thing carried out in this research, then the extract yield was calculated from the maceration process of Ulva lactuca seaweed, as well as phytochemical analysis to support the antibacterial ability of Ulva lactuca seaweed against the bacteria Vibrio sp. The results of the extraction of Ulva lactuca seaweed with ethanol solvent obtained a yield of 3.67%. The results showed a moderate antibacterial activity of Vibrio sp. from Ulva lactuca seaweed extract at a concentration of 100% was 17.3 mm. Weak antibacterial activity was at a concentration of 75% of 12.525 mm and extracts below a concentration of 75% did not have inhibitory power against Vibrio sp bacteria. Phytochemical studies of Ulva lactuca seaweed found secondary metabolite compounds in the form of alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, tannins and saponins. Based on the results of this research, it is hoped that the antibacterial ability of Vibrio sp. can be further investigated from ethanol extract of Ulva lactuca seaweed in vivo.

Abstract

Nucleotide sequence of gyrA and gyrB genes encoding subunit A and B of gyrase enzyme from genus of Rhizobium, Ensifer and Mesorhizobium were analyzed to determine evolutionary relationship among them. Maximum Likelihood and Kimura 2 parameter methods were used to construct phylogenetic tree and measure genetic distance. Phylogenetic tree based on nucleotide sequence of gyrA gene was compared to phylogenetic tree based on nucleotide sequence of gyrB gene. Comparison of identity percentage among nucleotide sequence of gyrA gene from genus Rhizobium, Ensifer and Mesorhizobium show similarity, where each of them have narrow range of identity percentage, however nucleotide sequence of gyrB gene from genus Rhizobium and Ensifer show wider identity percentage range than genus Mesorhizobium. Several member of genus Rhizobium and Ensifer have double copy of gyrB gene with identity percentage less than 50 percent between them. Topology of phylogenetic tree based on nucleotide sequence of gyrA gene have similar topology to topology of phylogenetic tree based on nucleotide sequence of gyrB gene, except for additional branch formed by one of additional copy of gyrB sequences. .

Abstract

In individuals with diabetes mellitus, the increase in Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) can damage the mitochondrial membrane, leading to the loss of potential mitochondrial membrane function in inducing apoptosis of sperm cells. Cinnamomum burmannii is a type of spice that contains antioxidants, thus capable of neutralizing free radicals and reducing oxidative stress caused by diabetes mellitus. Flavonoids also have an effect on increasing spermatogenesis. The aim of this research is to examine the role of methanol extract from Cinnamomum burmannii bark in increasing testis weight and spermatozoa count in type-1 diabetes mellitus mice (Mus musculus). The study employs a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments and three replications. Twenty mice are divided into groups: K- (control), K+ mice injected with STZ without medication), P1 (dose of 200 mg/kg BW), P2 (dose of 400 mg/kg BW), and P3 (dose of 800 mg/kg BW). Before administering the Cinnamomum burmannii bark extract, blood sugar levels are measured in the K+, P1, P2, and P3 groups. If blood sugar levels have increased (>128 mg/dL), the P1, P2, and P3 groups are given the Cinnamomum burmannii bark extract according to the predetermined dosage. The treatment is carried out for 14 days. On the last day, surgery is performed to extract the testes and observe the spermatozoa count. The observation data on testis weight and spermatozoa count will be analyzed using ANOVA with SPSS 24.0. The results indicate that the administration of methanol extract from Cinnamomum burmannii bark significantly affects the increase in testis weight and spermatozoa count in type-1 diabetes mellitus mice. The increase in testis weight and spermatozoa count is proportional to the dosage given

Abstract

Jagung (Zea mays L) adalah salah satu tanaman pangan yang merupakan sumber karbohidrat utama kedua setelah beras. Metode modifikasi lingkungan mikro dapat meningkatkan produksi jagung. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh waktu pemangkasan daun di bawah tongkol terhadap tingkat produksi jagung. Studi ini dilakukan di Desa Padang, Kecamatan Bintauna, Kabupaten Bolaang Mongondow Utara, Sulawesi Utara, dari Desember 2023 hingga April 2024. Metode penelitian adalah rancangan acak kelompok dengan lima perlakuan dan tiga kali ulangan. Penelitian menemukan bahwa perlakuan pemangkasan daun di bawah tongkol adalah tanpa pemangkasan (P0), pemangkasan 60 hari setelah tanam (P1), pemangkasan 70 hari setelah tanam (P2), pemangkasan 80 hari setelah tanam (P3) dan pemangkasan 90 hari setelah tanam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komponen produksi pada panjang tongkol, yaitu ukuran tongkol 19,26 cm dengan diameter 5,00 cm, berat biji sekitar 241.92 g, dan jumlah biji sekitar pertongkol 617.42, meskipun berdasarkan hasil analisis sidik ragam, pengaruh tanaman jagung hanya terbatas pada panjang dan diameter tongkol.
