Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterised by elevated blood sugar levels beyond normal ranges, resulting from reduced secretion of the hormone insulin by pancreatic β cells and/or impaired insulin action. Diabetes therapy is often overseen by regulating blood glucose levels regularly and preventing or reducing the risk of complications. Sargassum sp is a variety of brown seaweed native to Indonesia with possible antioxidant and antidiabetic properties. This study seeks to evaluate the efficacy of Sargassum sp extract in lowering blood sugar levels and speeding up wound healing on the skin of diabetic mice. This is an experimental study that uses mice as experimental subjects. The mice were categorised into 5 groups (K-, K+, P1, P2, and P3). Their initial blood sugar levels were recorded, a skin incision was performed, and STZ was administered. When blood sugar levels rise, the K+ group receives metformin; on the other hand, P1, P2, and P3 are administered Sargassum sp extract at a specified dosage. The data were examined using ANOVA and SPSS. The analysis revealed that the water content of Sargassum sp was 4.32%, and the yield value of the concentrated extract was 8.75%. The ethanol extract of Sargassum sp has been revealed to lower blood sugar levels and speed up the wound healing process in mice with diabetes mellitus. The effects observed include decreased blood sugar levels and enhanced wound healing percentage, which are dose-dependent.

Abstract

Treatment of Streptococcus mutans infection is generally done using antibiotics or chemical mouthwash, but long-term use can cause bacterial resistance and side effects for health. Therefore, it is important to find alternative treatments that are safer and more effective, one of which is through the use of medicinal plants. One plant that has potential as a source of antibacterial compounds is seagrass (Enhalus acoroides), which has been recognized in various studies to contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, and tannins, which can function as antibacterial agents. The purpose of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of E. acoides extracts extracted with different solvents against S. mutans bacteria. The design used in this study is a completely randomised design (CRD) model. Testing the inhibition zone of E. acoroides using piper disc diffusion method with different concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% with three replicates. Inhibitory zone diameter data were analyzed used ANOVA significant test and differences between treatments, and test of Real Honest Differences (BNJ) was conducted. Methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of E. acoroides can inhibit the growth of S. mutans bacteria that cause dental caries, and ethyl acetate has a stronger effect than methanol at higher concentrations.

Abstract

Wild edible mushrooms are germplasm which widely consumed by various local communities around the world. One of the wild mushroom genera that grows wild and used as food is Cookeina. This mushroom has the shape of bowl, glass, or cup which grows saprophyticly on the stems or seeds of forestry plants. However, the information of Cookeina potency as an alternative food is scarce in Indonesia. This is due to the lack of reports on the use of this macrofungi for consumption in Indonesia. In addition, most of the reports are not provided with the descriptions of the mushrooms. As the result, it as a serious constrain to non mycologyst person or mushroom hobyyist to study Cookeina. This manuscript aimed to provide the information on the distribution of this mushroom in Indonesia, the description of the morphological characters, and examples of the use of Cookeina as food by local communities (ethnomicology). This macrofungi have been reported 16 times in Indonesia, spread over 10 different provinces. The species which have been reported are C. colensoi, C. speciosa, C. sulcipes, and C. tricholoma in Indonesia. However, only C. speciosa, C. sulcipes, and C. tricholoma which used ad food and medicine by indigenous peoples in Indonesia. Several studies in various countries have proven that Cookeina contains bioactive ingredients in the form of β-glucan which are good for health. It is hoped that the level of awareness of the Indonesian people will increase regarding the potential use of edible wild mushrooms in order to achieve the food sovereignty.

Abstract

Asteraceae has many species and pollen shape varies. Pollen becomes one of the characteristics of the species and data on the morphological characteristics of pollen can help taxonomic data. This study aimed to determine the morphological character of pollen from four species of the Asteraceae. Pollen from Tridax procumbens, Tagetes erecta, Zinnia angustifolia, and Z. elegans was taken from the flower and smeared on a glass object and then dripped with distilled water. Fresh preparations were observed with a fluorescens microscope. The pollen shapes of the four species had monad prolate spheroidal (T. erecta, Z. elegans), monad subsphreoidal (Tr. procumbens), and monad oblate-spheroidal (Z. Angustifolia). Zinnia angustifolia had microechinate pollen ornamentation while another species had echinate pollen ornamentation. The four species had aperture varies, i.e tricolpate (T. erecta, Z. elegans), tetracolporate (Tr. procumberns), and monocolpate (Z. Angustifolia). Tagetes erecta had the biggest diameter pollen (51,405 µm) than the pollen diameter of another species (30,618-36,043 µm). Pollen morphology could differentiate of the four species Asteraceae members.

Abstract

Spectrophotometry is a quantitative measurement technique of a compound based on the measurement of absorbance or light transmission passing through the compound. The spectrophotometric method can be used to analyze the content of compounds. One of the enzymes whose activity can be measured in vivo is the nitrate reductase enzyme. The nitrate reductase enzyme is an enzyme that plays a role in the synthesis of ammonium and amino acids. The results of measuring the activity of the nitrite reductase enzyme with spectrophotometry showed that the highest NRA value was found in the leaves of red chili plants and the lowest was in the sugarcane leaf sample. NRA can be used as a selection parameter to predict the results of a plant, and has the potential to be applied to seed plants.

Abstract

Maluku, an archipelagic region, has unique ecological features that support a high level of biodiversity. One such island in this region is Marsegu Island, located in the Western Seram Regency, which is recognised as a nature reserve and serves as a natural habitat for several species of snakes. This study identifies snake species and analyses habitat preferences on Marsegu Island. Data were collected using the Visual Encounter Survey (VES) method. A total of six snake species from four families were recorded, with Colubridae being the most dominant. Species showed distinct habitat preferences: Xenopeltis unicolor was often found under decaying wood in mangrove areas, while Ahaetulla prasina was associated with Cerbera manghas trees. Larger species, such as Malayopython reticulatus, were found in coral rubble, while Cerberus schneiderii preferred semi-aquatic habitats in mangrove mud. The results suggest that the distribution of snakes on Marsegu Island is strongly influenced by morphological and behavioral adaptations to specific habitat types. This study provides new ecological insights into snake species in mangrove ecosystems and highlights the critical role of habitat conservation in maintaining biodiversity on Marsegu Island.

Abstract

Oldeman agroclimate zone is a classification system used to group areas based on rainfall distribution patterns and soil moisture potential available throughout the year. This system provides a clearer picture of which areas are suitable for certain crops based on their water needs, as well as optimizing the use of existing climate resources through cropping patterns arrangements. This study aims to identify and analyze Oldeman agroclimate zones to determine the right planting season and develop efficient food crop cropping patterns on Kisar Island. This study combines two approaches, namely descriptive and quantitative with the following analysis stages: generating rainfall data, calculating average regional rainfall, determining agroclimate zones, determining planting seasons, and arranging cropping patterns. The results of the study indicate that Kisar Island is included in Agroclimate Zone E3 with a planting season length of 7 months, starting in December and ending in June. Intercropping or mixed cropping patterns are options in corn and legume cultivation. To avoid water shortages during the reproductive phase of the plant, dryland rice planting should be carried out in the period from March to June.

Abstract

Silowo Ecotourism is one of the water-based recreational facilities that offers swimming and anthropogenic activities that have recently been operating. The existence of ecotourism Silowo stimulates economic activity for the surrounding residents. The high anthropogenic and recreational activity ecotourism Silowo initiated this study to determine the presence of microplastic pollutants in these waters including microplastics amounts, microplastics colors, and microplastics types. Sampling was carried out at four stations in the waters of ecotourism Silowo. The identification of microplastics begins with sample preparation, degradation of organic matter with 30% HNO3, density separation using NaCl, and observation under a microscope. The observation results showed that there were microplastics in the four observation stations. Microplastics found are fibers, pellets, fragments, and films. Based on the type, film is the most numerous microplastics in this study, 38 particles. The colors of microplastics found in this study are green, blue, yellow, red, black, brown, white, and transparent. Microplastics in waters can come from anthropogenic activities around the waters as well as tourist activities in the waters, such as swimming.

Abstract

Pain is a mechanism that occurs due to stimulation of nociceptors as pain receptors that cause ongoing or future tissue damage. Analgesic drugs that are usually used are COX-2 inhibitor drugs that can inhibit the activity of the COX-2 enzyme in synthesizing Prostaglandins (PG) which respond to pain and inflammation. Specific research on active compounds such as corypalmine and panasenoside related to their effects as analgesics has not been widely carried out, so it is necessary to predict the effects of both compounds by analyzing their activity on the COX-2 protein through in silico docking studies. This study aims to see the analgesic activity between the two compounds as COX-2 inhibitors. Testing was carried out through the stages of protein and ligand preparation, method validation, molecular docking of corypalmine and panasenoside compounds with COX-2 and visualization of bonds using Ligplot+. The results showed that the corypalmine docking score was more negative than panasenoside on COX-2, respectively -60.33 and -42.02. It can be concluded that the corypalmine compound is able to bind more strongly to COOX-2 and predicted to have a strong and more stable analgesic effect than panacea.
