Abstract

This study aims to determine the condition of the coral reef ecosystem on Tidung Kecil Island, Seribu Islands. Observational data collection was carried out in June 2022. The method used in this study was descriptive with the Line Interval Transect (LIT) technique with two repetitions, with the distance between the transect points being 10 meters. 2 repetitions aim to represent the coral cover data on the island's northern part. The data taken are the length and type of coral reef growth, which is then processed to be included in the coral cover area formula. Observational data were then analyzed using the coral cover percentage formula to calculate live coral growth and continued calculating the percentage cover for all categories of live coral lifeforms. Based on the observations, the condition of the coral cover area in the study area is classified as bad, with a percentage of coral cover area of 18.63% and a percentage of non-coral substrate of 48.7%. This is due to the high human activity (such as fishing) and tourism (such as snorkeling).

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the diseases with the highest prevalence in Indonesia and is the main cause of death in patients. Pregnant women have a risk of losing their baby due to hypertension or death. ACEI and ARB-type antihypertensive drugs are dangerous for pregnant women because they can cause fetal death. In ancient times, Indonesians have used plants as herbal medicines for generations. One of the plants that has medicinal properties is mangosteen skin (Garcinia mangostana L.) as an antihypertensive drug through its diuretic effects. However, the drugs consumed can have toxic effects if used in high concentrations. A teratogenic test is a toxic test that is specifically carried out to determine the presence of organ abnormalities in the fetus due to exposure to xenobiotic compounds. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo was chosen as the research object because the chorion in the embryonic phase is transparent, so it is easy to observe. This study aimed to determine the effect of exposure to mangosteen rind decoction on zebrafish embryos' hatchability and spinal curvature. Observations were made using a Leica microscope with ANOVA data analysis. The observations showed that high treatment concentrations decreased heart rate, while high concentrations didn’t affect egg hatching rate, spine curvature, or pigment density.

Abstract

Microalgae are a group of autotrophic microorganisms that can live in freshwater and marine ecosystems. Microalgae in peat swamp waters are important to investigate and identify because they are used as aquatic bioindicators and have various potency and applications. This study aims to identify microalgae in peat swamp water in the Universitas Palangka Raya area, Central Kalimantan. This research used a purposive sampling method with two stations. The abiotic factors observed were temperature, dissolved oxygen, water transparency, and pH. Microalgae found were 12 genera (Behind the FMIPA UPR Building) and 6 genera (Jalan B Koetin). Some of the microalgae included Closterium, Micrasterias, Chlorella, Botryococcus, Cosmarium, Euastrum, Pleurotaenium, Chroococcus, Chlorogonium, Euglena, Selenastrum, Zygnema, Anabaena, Thalassionema, Pinnularia, Staunrastrum, and Gonatozygon. Some of them have morphological characteristics and potential in various fields. The abiotic factors in this research showed the normal temperature (29.5 0C and 27 0C), quite low for DO (2.9 mg/L and 4.7 mg/L), low brightness (23.25 and 25 cm), and acidic pH (4). Abiotic factors indicate that the condition of peat swamp water is a reasonably extreme ecosystem but is still suitable for the life of several species of microalgae.

Abstract

Recently, consuming natural food supplements derived from natural resources has become widespread in many developed societies due to the lack of side effects, low cost, and high antioxidant properties to prevent and treat many diseases. The research and formulation aimed to design a safe and effective medicinal and edible healthy natural nutraceutical with high antioxidant properties and rich mineral elements based on fruits and medicinal plants. Antioxidant, Protein, and inorganic contents of fruits and natural herbal plants were determined to evaluate the contents of active constituents of the meal in milligrams. The results were then used to formulate an edible herbal supplement as a solid oral system. The raw protein content of each ingredient was evaluated through the Kjeldahl method. The contents of the nutrient elements were measured in mg/kg (D.W) by ICP-Mass. All components were mixed thoroughly in some proper percentages, milled, and then dried by heating for 48 hours. The Flowability of the powder was subsequently evaluated using the work index and Hausner ratio. The work index of the sample was 34.3, and because the Flowability was not optimal, aerosol was added to 10 grams of a mixture of 1% by weight of the material. Finally, the working index reached 23, which is desirable. Furthermore, the ingredients were volumetrically encapsulated in OO-sized capsules and subjected to quality control tests. Performing organoleptic assays for controlling the physical and chemical properties of the formulation, the active ingredient was determined in terms of the results of Kjeldahl and inductively coupled plasma Mass spectrometry (ICP-Mass). The results of all control tests, including the weight deviation test, opening time test, and active ingredient dosage test, were conducted for the developed formulation according to credible pharmacopeia. According to the allowable daily dosages, the developed capsule is a proper herbal supplement with very high antioxidants.

Abstract

Rasbora borneensis is a local fish of West Kalimantan that has the potential to be developed as farmed fish and biomedical research model animals. The utilization of fish potential as aquaculture animals and biomedical research model animals requires data on the biological aspects of these fish. Data from Fish Base (2023) shows that until now the biological information of Rasbora borneensis is still very limited, both morphological, anatomical, and reproductive data. This study aims to analyze the morphological characters of Rasbora borneensis. The results of this study show that there are morphological differences between male and female Rasbora borneensis fish. Female fish show a rounded flat body shape, while male fish show a flat body shape. The measurement results show that the morphometric ratio of male and female fish is different. However, when viewed based on variations in the size of the specimens used, there are several sizes that have the same value.

Abstract

Escalating waste production due to population growth and diverse community activities poses environmental and public health threats. To mitigate these effects, this study investigates using water bamboo (Equisetum hyemale) in phytoremediation. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, analyzing articles from 2011-2024 from Indonesian language journals. Ten articles were selected, focusing on the phytoremediation of four types of waste: tofu industry waste, leachate, domestic waste, and lead. Findings reveal water bamboo’s potential as a phytoremediation agent, effectively reducing waste levels in various contexts. For instance, it reduced BOD, COD, and TTS in tofu industry waste; Pb, Zn, Cr, DO, and pH in leachate waste; BOD, COD, and detergent levels in domestic waste; and lead in lead (Pb) industrial waste. The study underscores the potential of water bamboo in real-world liquid waste management applications, contributing to sustainable waste management strategies and addressing environmental and public health challenges.

Abstract

The aquatic bamboo plant (Equisetum hyemale) can be used as a phytoremediation agent because it has hyperaccumulator properties and is hyper-tolerant of pollutants. With the increasing number of industrial and household activities, managing waste before it is disposed of directly into the environment. This research aims to determine the application of phytoremediation in reducing pollutant content in water pollution waste. The research method was carried out using a literature research design review of the Google Scholar and SINTA databases starting from publication year 2014 to 2023 by reviewing a total of ten national journal articles. The research results show that phytoremediation can reduce wastewater pollution content, especially BOD and COD levels accumulated by the roots of aquatic bamboo plants. The effective time for the phytoremediation method is 3 days, 5 days, and 12 days which can reduce the number of contaminants in sample water according to wastewater quality standards. The novelty of this research is in the variables studied, namely BOD and COD levels using aquatic bamboo plants.

Abstract

Cyanobacteria exhibit a wide range of fatty acid profiles, which vary significantly among different species and strains. This study aimed to characterize the fatty acid profile of cyanobacteria isolated from Cagar Alam Pulau Dua (CPAD) Sanctuary in Serang, Banten. The isolates, previously identified as Lyngbya sp. and Aphanothece sp., were grown on ASN-III medium and harvested at the beginning of the stationary phase. Cyanobacterial lipids were extracted using two methods, i.e., the Bligh and Dyer method and the Soxhlet method. The composition of cyanobacterial fatty acid was analyzed using gas-liquid chromatography (GLC). The result showed that Lyngbya and Aphanothece have a higher saturated fatty acid composition than unsaturated fatty acid. Lyngbya contains 33.154% SFAs and 7.304% UFAs, while Aphanothece contains 55.172% SFAs and 44.783% UFAs. The saturated fatty acids in Lyngbya and Aphanothece are lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid, while the unsaturated fatty acids found are oleic acid and linoleic acid. The study paves the way for further research into the industrial applications of cyanobacterial fatty acids, particularly in biofuel production, nutraceuticals, and other biotechnological fields.

Abstract

Probiotic bacteria are a form of biological control because they play a role in suppressing or killing pathogenic microorganisms. Probiotic bacteria are capable of producing antimicrobial compounds such as lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and bacteriocins. The aim of this research is to determine the physiology of candidate probiotic bacteria, including their antimicrobial activity, resistance to acidic conditions, and resistance to bile salts. The research method is descriptive. The results of this study indicate that Bacillus safensis strain C251 SA3, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain NO10 SA8, and Bacillus australimaris strain IIHR GAPB01 SL1 are each capable of inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria and surviving in acidic conditions (pH 2). However, only Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain NO10 SA8 is resistant to bile salt pressure. Thus, the potential candidate for probiotic bacteria is Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain NO10 SA8.
