Abstract

Mangrove are one of the biotic components that form ecosystems in coastal areas. They are flowering plants with a tree habit that are highly tolerant of elevated salt levels. Mangrove ecosystems serve as habitats for various species of flora and fauna, and are therefore known for their high bioecological diversity. This study aims to analyze the bioecology of the mangrove ecosystem in Dasun Village, Lasem Sub-district, Rembang Regency, Central Java. The research method used was a survey with the transect line technique. Sampling of mangrove vegetation was conducted using square plots measuring 20 × 20 m, while fauna sampling was conducted within a 10-meter radius of the vegetation plots. All flora and fauna found within the plots were recorded as bioecological data of the mangrove ecosystem. Sampling was conducted in three different locations within the mangrove ecosystem area of Dasun Village. The results revealed three families of mangrove flora: Primulaceae (9 species), Combretaceae (5 species), and Rhizophoraceae (171 individuals). The mangrove fauna identified consisted of eight families from the class Gastropoda, two families from the class Malacostraca, and one family each from the classes Pisces, Aves, and Mammalia. Abiotic factors such as temperature, humidity, pH, and salinity were also measured. Temperature ranged from 29.3-33.8 °C, humidity from 68-73%, pH from 6.8-6.9, and salinity from 0.2-0.5 ppt. These results indicate that the mangrove ecosystem in Dasun Village supports a diverse range of mangrove flora and fauna, demonstrating its bioecological richness

Abstract

Soil macrofauna are important bioindicators of soil fertility. Soil fertility is strongly influenced by soil conditions, which affect the presence and density of macrofauna populations through the decomposition of organic matter. This study aimed to determine the diversity of soil macrofauna across different habitat types in the Batutegi Protection Forest (BPF), Tanggamus, Lampung. The methods used included pitfall traps, point counts, and hand sorting. Three plots were set up, each with three pitfall traps. The point count method involved walking a 100-meter transect with 10 stopping points, each observed for 10 minutes. The hand sorting method was conducted in three 25 × 25 cm plots at a depth of 20 cm. The soil macrofauna diversity indices obtained using the pitfall trap method were as follows: river border (H'=2.9), shrub area (H'=3.1), and forest interior (H'=3.1). Using the point count method, the diversity indices were: river border (H'=3.5), shrub area (H'=2.8), and forest interior (H'=3.3). The diversity indices from the hand sorting method were: river border (H'=2.7), shrub area (H'=2.4), and forest interior (H'=1.8).

Abstract

Arcangelisia flava (L.) Merr., commonly known as kayu kuning, is a medicinal plant traditionally used in Southeast Asian medicine. Various studies have identified bioactive compounds such as furanoditerpenes, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic compounds that contribute to its pharmacological activities, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antidiabetic effects. Despite the growing body of research on its pharmacological potential, the mechanisms of action of these bioactive constituents remain inadequately understood, and clinical evidence supporting its use in modern therapy is still limited. This systematic review compiles data from diverse scientific sources, focusing on the phytochemical composition, extraction methods, pharmacological activities, and comparisons with conventional pharmaceutical agents. The analysis revealed that A. flava contains various bioactive constituents responsible for its therapeutic effects. Furanoditerpenes demonstrate antimicrobial and antifungal activity, while alkaloids and phenolic compounds exhibit significant antioxidant and antidiabetic properties. Extraction techniques varied across studies, affecting the efficiency of bioactive compound isolation. Comparisons with standard pharmaceuticals suggest that A. flava extracts exhibit comparable efficacy in several pharmacological domains. These findings indicate that A. flava holds considerable promise as a natural therapeutic agent. However, further investigations are needed to clarify its pharmacological mechanisms through pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies, as well as clinical trials to confirm its safety and effectiveness in human applications. The integration of modern technological approaches such as metabolomics and bioinformatics could facilitate the identification, standardization, and development of phytopharmaceutical products derived from A. flava, thereby advancing its potential use in evidence-based medicine.

Abstract

Kidney stones are a serious condition that often occurs in the wider community. The presence of this disease is influenced by genetic factors, diet, dehydration, irregular lifestyle, and unhealthy lifestyle. One of the treatments used to treat kidney stones is Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for kidney stones measuring more than two centimeters. This study aims to find out about kidney stone treatment using the PCNL method. The method used is a literature study by discussing five study focuses, namely (1) healthy kidney structure and its role in maintaining body balance, (2) kidney structural abnormalities and their impact on health, (3) kidney stone treatment methods and their impact on health, (4) PCNL as a modern treatment solution for kidney stone sufferers, and (5) the process of implementing PCNL in kidney stone treatment. It can be concluded that healthy kidneys are vital organs with integrated structures and functions to maintain the physiological balance of the body and play a role in producing the hormones renin, erythropoietin, and calcitriol. Kidney disorders that often appear are kidney stones caused by waste in the blood or crystallized chemicals such as calcium and oxalic acid. Pharmacological therapy is a therapy that is often used to treat kidney stones using medical drugs and also surgery, but this method has side effects due to the drugs given. PCNL is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes sophisticated medical technology to treat kidney stones. PCNL treatment is done by making a small incision in the skin of kidney stone sufferers so that it does not have significant side effects. PCNL has a high success rate for the treatment of kidney stones

Abstract

This study investigates Bungkus leaf (Smilax rotundifolia), a well-known plant in Papua commonly referred to as the three-finger leaf. Indigenous Papuans traditionally use this plant to enlarge genitals, buttocks, and breasts, as well as to treat syphilis. The plant is known to contain flavonoid and phenolic compounds with pharmacological activity. This study aimed to determine the total flavonoid and total phenolic content of the 70% ethanol extract of Bungkus leaf. The research began with simplicia preparation, followed by extraction using 70% ethanol. Qualitative tests, including phytochemical screening and thin-layer chromatography (TLC), were conducted, followed by quantitative analysis using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The results showed total flavonoid content of 54.696 mg QE/g ± 0.565 and total phenolic content of 32.908 mg GAE/g ± 0.263. The study concluded that the total flavonoid content was higher than the total phenolic content. Toxicity testing categorized the extract as toxic, with an LC50 value of 442.92 ppm.

Abstract

Gold mining boosts Indonesia's GDP and exports. However, gold mining changes soil chemical and biological qualities, and therefore harming the environment. Thus, rehabilitating post mining land using environmentally friendly and chap method are essential for soil and ecosystem health. Nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) are the most limiting factors in degraded mining area. Azotobacter sp. and Rhizobium sp. are well-known in assisting plant by providing N. Paraserianthes falcataria is well-known as a fast-growing tree species that have good symbiosis with Rhizobium sp. This study examines the chemical and biological effects of underground gold mining on soil and the ability of indigenous Azotobacter sp. and Rhizobium sp., to improve the soil of post gold mining under greenhouse condition. Soils were sampled from natural forest (NF), tailing (T), and 3 different ages of rehabilitated area: 1 year old, 2 year old, and 5 year old. According to this study, gold mining negatively effect on soil organic carbon and nitrogen levels. One Rhizobium sp. isolate and 12 Azotobacter spp. isolates were found in post mining soil. All Azotobacter spp. isolates fixed nitrogen by NFB test and produced IAA. All Azotobacter spp. was determined as gram negative bacteria. A greenhouse study found that Azotobacter sp. inoculation with 10% compost improved the soil quality by increasing soil organic carbon, soil N, soil available P, and exchangeable K. Therefore, this improvement on soil condition increased seedlings height, diameter, and biomass growing in gold tailings soil. These findings highlight the necessity of employing indigenous microorganisms and organic materials to improve soil quality and plant growth on former gold mining areas.

Abstract

This study aims to explore and test the quality of Trichoderma spp. local from the rhizosphere of apus bamboo (Gigantochloa apus) against Fusarium spp. wilt disease both in vitro and in vivo in tomato. This research was conducted in the Keerom area, Jayapura, which is one of the centers of food crop production and horticulture in Papua. The data obtained from this study were analyzed by comparing the inhibition of three Trichoderma spp. isolates (Trichoderma sp. 1 isolate, Trichoderma sp. 2 isolate, and Trichoderma sp.3 isolate) against Fusarium spp. The results of the antagonist test showed that the isolate of Trichoderma sp.3 had the highest inhibition (80.56%) against Fusarium spp., followed by Trichoderma sp.2 (66.84%) and Trichoderma sp.1 (27,62%). The implication of this study is that Trichoderma sp. 3 has high potential as an APH in the control of Fusarium spp. wilt disease in tomato plants. The use of Trichoderma spp.-based APH can be an effective and environmentally friendly alternative in reducing the use of chemical pesticides and maintaining the balance of the agro-environmental ecosystem.

Abstract

The natural tourism area of Teluk Youtefa in Jayapura City is known for its mangrove forests, rich in biodiversity, particularly Avicennia alba. Mangroves serve as coastal buffers, pollutant filters, and habitats for various flora and fauna. However, climate change, pollution, and human activities can affect the ecological balance and bioactive compound content of A. alba, which has long been recognized as a potential source of medicinal and natural antioxidant compounds. Fluctuations in water quality, invasive species, and land-use changes may disrupt both the ecosystem and the complexity of its bioactive constituents. Understanding the impact of environmental factors on both aspects is crucial for effective and sustainable conservation. This study aims to explore the relationship between environmental factors and the production of bioactive compounds in mangroves. The research investigates how environmental changes influence the ecological balance and bioactive content of Avicennia alba, and their implications for the sustainability of the Teluk Youtefa mangrove tourism area. Sampling was conducted using a purposive sampling method, focusing on environmental parameters such as temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), and total suspended solids (TSS), along with laboratory analysis of bioactive compounds. The results show that the site with poor environmental quality (Site 1) recorded DO at 3.2 mg/L, BOD at 5.8 mg/L, and Pb at 0.07 mg/L. In contrast, the site with better environmental conditions (Site 3) showed DO at 5.5 mg/L, BOD at 2.1 mg/L, and salinity at 32.4 ppt. The bioactive compounds identified include Wagner’s alkaloids, Dragendorff’s alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, and tannins. The polluted site (Site 1) yielded only three compounds—flavonoids, terpenoids, and saponins—whereas the conservation site (Site 3) revealed the full set of six bioactive compounds, including alkaloids and tannins. These findings indicate that environmental quality has a direct influence on the complexity of bioactive compounds and the ecological potential of mangrove ecosystems.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation on the growth and yield of maize (Zea mays L.) as a solution to fertilizer shortages in Indonesia. The continuous use of inorganic fertilizers can degrade soil quality, making environmentally friendly alternatives, such as biofertilizers, necessary. The study observed the growth optimization of several corn varieties inoculated with AMF. The eight-month study was conducted in the Biology Laboratory at Cenderawasih University's Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences using a pot culture method with three varieties of maize: regular maize (RM), sweet corn (SC), and butter sweet corn (BSC). Parameters observed included plant height, leaf number, and relative growth rate based on dry weight. The results showed that AMF inoculation significantly increased corn plant height by 21.56%, leaf number by 18.14%, and the relative growth rate by 1,425% at six weeks after planting. Butter sweet corn and sweet corn responded better to AMF inoculation than regular corn. The best results occurred when butter sweet corn was given 15 g of AMF inoculum per polybag.
