Abstract

Endophytic fungi are fungi which live inside the host plant tissue and have been undergone a horizontal gene transfer process. Endophytic fungi are able to synthesize the same bioactive compounds which synthesized by their host plants. The host plant used in this research was dragon’s scales fern (Pyrrosia piloselloides (L.) M.G. Price). Dragon’s scales fern produces various of bioactive compounds which used as antibacterial agents such as polyphenols. This research was aimed to obtain endophytic fungi isolates from trophophyll fronds and sporophyll fronds of dragon’s scales fern, to determine the antibacterial activity of the secondary metabolite extracts of endophytic fungi, to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), to determine the characteristics of the endophytic fungi isolates which potentially as antibacterial source. Based on the research, 13 endophytic fungi isolates were obtained from dragon’s scales fern fronds consist of 5 isolates from trophophyll fronds and 8 isolates from sporophyll fronds. The antibacterial activity test showed that the extract of secondary metabolites of the isolate DTP2 had the highest inhibition zone diameter against E.coli 14.82 ± 4.05 mm, DTP4 against S.aureus 8.80 ± 0.03 mm and DSP4 against S.dysentriae 10.15 ± 0.36 mm. MIC of ethyl acetate extracts of secondary metabolites of isolate DTP2 against E.coli was 125 µg/mL, DTP4 against S.aureus was 125 µg/mL and DSP4 against S.dysentriae was 31.25 µg/mL. The endophytic fungi isolate DTP2 identified as Aureobasidium melanogenum, DTP4 identified as Penicillium alliisativi and DSP4 identified as Aspergillus flocculosus.

Abstract

Twelve endophytic fungi were isolated from Jeruju plant. Three of which have the best antioxidant activity, namely Culvularia lunata DJS1, Diaporthe phaseolorum DJS2, and Colletotrichum siamense BJS4. The fungi can produce secondary metabolites that have the potential as antioxidant compounds. This study aims to isolate the antioxidant compound using a chromatography column and test the antioxidant activity using DPPH method. Isolation of secondary metabolites produced 40 eluates. The IC50 value of DJS111 and BJS42 eluates were 10.20 µg/ml and 20.89 µg/ml, which is an antioxidant compound with very strong activity. The IC50 value of DJS24 eluate was 54.45 µg/ml, which is strong antioxidant activity. DJS111 eluate has antioxidant activity that approaches to ascorbic acid as a standart antioxidant compound (7.76µg/ml). From TLC, DJS111 contains flavonoid compound and DJS24 and BJS42 contain terpenoid compound.

Abstract

Mass propagation technology through somatic embryogenesis has become an alternative for producing sugarcane seedlings rapidly.Application of proper plant growth regulator and concentration contribute to support somatic embryogenesis development. This study applied the combination of liquid and solid culture during proliferation stage to promote cell dispersion of embryogenic callus, rapid  embryo somatic production, and improve regeneration potency of somatic embryo. Application of 2,4-D and coconut water during proliferation may expected as proper combination for accelerating somatic embryo development and regeneration.Development of somatic embryogenesis in sugarcane var. Bululawang during proliferation were described in this study. Embryogenic callusfrom induction media were transferred to proliferation media containing MS Basal + vitamin supplemented with sucrose different level of 2,4-D (1 mgl-1, 2 mgl-1, 3 mgl-1, 4 mgl-1 ) and coconut water (0% and 5%).Result showed that low concentration of 2,4-D induced optimum somatic embryogenesis development in proliferation and regeneration. Concentration of single 2,4-D 1 mgl-1 without coconut water  induced rapid development of scutelar and coleoptilarduring proliferation and resulted in better shoot regeneration. In other way, 4 mgl-1 of 2,4-D concentration  affected to inhibit scutelar and coloeptilar formed as the result of failure callus differentiation.

Abstract

A research to monitor the presence of Sumatran elephant between two ecosystem in Sembilang National Park (TNSTNS) and palm palm oilplantation has been conducted on March until June 2019 at Semenanjung Banyuasin Semenanjung, South Sumatra. This research aimed to verify the presence of Sumatran elephantpopulation and to estimate the number of elephant individuals in the area. The methods used weredirect observation during the day and indirect monitoring through installation of Camera Traps for 1 month. In addition, secondary data was collected in the form of data archives from the palm oil plantation records and interviews with affected plantation workers. From direct observation, Wedirect encountered one elephant individual and fifteen signs of elephant activities, such as sounds, footprints, and feces. From camera trap photos, we identified and verified onepopulation of Sumatran Elephants which consisted of at least twenty-two individuals with composition as follows: eight adult females, two young females, three infant females, and nine males. The ecotone area between TNS and palm palm oil plantation should be designated as a new habitat patchof Sumatran elephant that needs to be managed appropriately in order to maintain the designation of the area as a conservation area.

Abstract

Sumatran Elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranus) is one of the endemic Sumatran fauna that is protected by Indonesia Law. The Remnant Forest of Acacia District Penyabungan in the landscape of Padang Sugihan is one of the elephant’s habitats in South Sumatra. Habitat degradation and fragmentation, poaching and conflicts become the major threats for the elephant population. Genetic study is one of the efforts to establish a conservation policy. It is necessary to test the quantitative and qualitative of DNA, at the extractions stage from fecal samples, in order to get the standard results on DNA concentration which will be analyzed later. The method used is through direct observation as the initial survey to determine the sampling location. Fecal samples were preserved in absolute ethanol at -20°C.  The extraction process was carried out using the Quick-DNATM Fecal/Soil Microbe Miniprep Kit. Samples were tested quantitatively using a Nanodrop Thermo Scientific, with the expectation that the concentration results were considered to be 1.6-1.8 and continued with the qualitative test of DNA through electrophoresis gel agarose and UV Transilluminator. Of the 20 samples, only 12 samples showed positive results (there were DNA bands). The results of this quantitative and qualitative test could be used to determine a viable sample to be used as a product in the genetic analysis stage of Sumatran Elephants in the Remnant Forest of Acacia South Sumatra.
