Abstract

A consortium of microorganisms is a mixture of microbial populations in the form of a community that has cooperative, commensal, and mutualistic relationships. Naturally, bacteria are able to communicate with each other. The relationship between bacteria can have a synergistic relationship if the substrate is sufficient and the bacteria do not inhibit each other's growth. In this study, Bacillus cereus isolates SP1, SP2, and SP3 isolated from Sungai Ambawang peatland, Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan will be consorted. The purpose of this study was to determine the synergism of three strains of Bacillus cereus bacteria. All isolates tested for synergism against other isolates showed no inhibition zone at the intersection between isolates. This means that each isolate can synergize with one another. The synergism test results show that three strains of Bacillus cereus bacteria can synergize in the manufacture of biofertilizers.

Abstract

Sayung District is one of the district in Demak Regency which has mangrove vegetation. The alteration of Demak Regency's coastal areas caused by the sea rob phenomenon has a significant impact on the mangrove vegetation. The Semarang-Demak toll road construction along Sayung coast potentially causes mangrove damage. The purpose of this study is to determine the structure and profile, and analyze the condition of mangrove vegetation in Sayung, based on the structure and profile of Sayung mangrove vegetation. The study was conducted on the mangroves of Bedono, Mondoliko, and Morosari Village. This research used an exploratory method with descriptive analysis, by collecting data on vegetation parameters and vegetation profiles. The results showed that the types of mangroves found at all observation stations consisted of Avicennia, Bruguiera, and Rhizophora. The profile graph shows an association between Avicennia alba, Avicennia marina, and Rhizophora mucronata. Important Value Index (IVI) for all stations shows that Avicennia officinalis have highest value on 65,30 and 50,18 respectively. Diversity index shows that both stations have value on 0,873 and 0,893 which belongs to low diversity. Similarity index on each sub-stations shows the significant difference between Bedono-A, Bedono-C, Mondoliko, and Morosari stations at 0,4 index, Based on Abiotic parameters such as pH, salinity, and water temperature found on the optimal quality standard level. The conclusion is mangrove vegetation structure dominated by Avicennia and Rhizophora groups, with a low level of diversity at all observation stations.

Abstract

Maggot Hermetia illucens is the larval phase of the black soldier fly. This study aims to analyze the development of maggots in the form of length, body weight and population density in a combination of fermented oil palm meal and rice bran. The study used a Complete Randomized Design (RAL) with 5 treatments and 5 repeats for 21 days, namely 100% oil palm meal, 75% oil palm meal and 25% rice bran, 50% oil palm meal and 50% rice bran, 25% oil palm meal and 75% rice bran, and 100% rice bran. Random sampling is used for data collection. The length of the maggot's body is measured using a digital caliper. The total weight of the maggots on each treatment on the 21st day was weighed for weight measurement. Density is measured by counting the number of individuals per volume of media. Data were analyzed with single-track ANOVA and Tukey test. The results showed significant growth of Hermetia illucens maggots (p = 0.000) using a combination of fermented oil palm meal media and rice bran. The combination of 75% oil palm meal and 25% rice bran has a significant effect with the highest length for 21 days at 27.56 mm, a total weight of 34.86 grams. Its population density is insignificant.

Abstract

The size, shape of cells, number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin content between each class of animal can be different. This study aims to examine the comparison of hemoglobin levels, number and structure of erythrocytes in five classes of vertebrates. The animal blood used in this study consisted of five species representing each class, namely Clarias batrachus representing the pisces, Bufo sp. represents the amphibian, Varanus salvator represents the reptile, Columba livia represents the aves, and Mus musculus represents the mammal. Hemoglobin levels were tested using the Sahli method, while the number and structure of erythrocytes used a hemocytometer and Neubauer counting chamber which were observed under a microscope with a magnification of 40x10. The results showed that hemoglobin levels in Clarias batrachus, Bufo sp., Varanus salvator, Columba livia, and Mus musculus were 3.8 g/dl, 6.8 g/dl, 10.4 g/dl, 10 .8 g/dl, and 8.2 g./dl. The number of erythrocytes was 780,000/mm3, 320,000/mm3, 1,900,000/mm3, 3,270,000/mm3, and 3,960,000/mm3, respectively. In terms of erythrocyte structure, it was found that Clarias batrachus has a round structure with a nucleus, Bufo sp., Varanus salvator, and Columba livia have an oval shape with a nucleus, while Mus musculus has a biconcave disc shape without a nucleus. The conclusion of this study shows that the highest hemoglobin levels are found in Columba livia and the lowest in Clarias batrachus. The highest number of erythrocytes was found in Mus musculus, and the lowest in Bufo sp. All erythrocytes in the vertebrate class have a nucleus, except in mammals

Abstract

Leptin plays a role in regulating the growth of bones and other body tissues. Leptin can affect the epiphyseal growth zones in long bones, contributing to height growth. The aim of this research is to analyze leptin levels and body height in toddlers before and after giving additional food based on Moringa leaves and sea fish. The supplementary feeding intervention was carried out for 10 weeks on 30 toddlers with stunted and very stunted nutritional status at the Sedan Community Health Center, Rembang Regency. Leptin levels in the blood were analyzed using ELISA, height measurements were carried out using a stadiometer, determination of nutritional status was guided by the PERMENKES regarding 2020 child anthropometry standards, and data analysis used the SPSS program. The results of the study showed that the average leptin level decreased and the average body height increased after the intervention of providing additional food based on Moringa leaves and sea fish. Thus, it can be concluded that decreasing leptin levels can cause a decrease in fat and adipogenesis which results in increased bone formation in the form of increased height in stunted toddlers at the Sedan Community Health Center, Rembang Regency.
