Abstract

Castanopsis argentea is a potential souce of natural antibiotics that has not been studied much. The purpose of this study was to analyze the antibacterial activity and study the content of secondary metabolites from leaves and twigs extract of Castanopsis argentea against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. This study used the paper disk method to see antibacterial activity. Antibacterial activiy was indicated by the formation of a clear zone around the dic paper. Samples were made into three treatments, namely the concentration of 20 mg/ml; 40 mg/ml; and 80 mg/ml. the solvent used was selected based on the level of polarity namely ethyl acetate, 70% ethanol, and aquades. The results of the antibacterial activity test showed that the extract with the most potential to inhibit bacterial growth was ethyl acetate twig extract at a concentration of 80 mg/ml with an average diameter of 6mm for Escherichia coli bacteria and 8.67 mm for Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The compounds identified in the ethyl acetate twig extract are terpenoids, phenolics, and flavonoids. The results of profiling using UV-Vis spectrophotometry showed that the maximum absorption of terpenoids, flavonoids, and phenolics compounds was found in the wavelength range of 300-600 nm. The secondary metabolite compounds contained in the leaf and twig extracts of Castanopsi argentea make this species a potential natural antibacterial.

Abstract

Wastewater has become a source of environmental problems caused by the content of chemicals that are harmful to the environment, including detergent waste. Detergent is a cleaning agent that contains surfactants, phosphate compounds, and other additives. Efforts to handle this detergent waste have been carried out communally or on a large scale in a reactor called IPAL (Wastewater Treatment Plant). However, no effective household-scale IPAL prototype has been found to restore wastewater quality to raw water that can be reused. So a prototype IPAL was built called SPIROFILTER which combines the filtration process by zeolite, activated charcoal, and cotton as well as hyperaccumulation by Spirogyra porticalis. This study aims to determine the role of S. porticalis, analyze wastewater quality, analyze the growth of S. porticalis, and determine the reaction kinetics model (PFO or PSO) in the absorption of phosphate in wastewater that has been filtered with SPIROFILTER. The research design was in the form of measuring the growth of S. porticalis and the quality of water before filtration (control), water after the 3rd day, and water after the 5th day. The parameters measured were temperature, pH, salinity, total phosphorus, total ammonia, BOD, COD, number of water germs, and chlorophyll content. This study used a UV-vis spectrophotometer and AAS for water quality testing. SPIROFILTER was an aquarium measuring 40x60x20 cm3 to which 132 mL of detergent was added in 22 liters of water. The results of the study proved that S. porticalis acted as a hyperaccumulator, the quality of water filtered by SPIROFILTER met water quality standards, the growth of S. porticalis remained optimum in detergent waste environmental conditions, the kinetic model of the phosphorus binding reaction from detergent waste used the Pseudo Second Order model in SPIROFILTER. Keywords: Detergent waste, Reaction kinetics, SPIROFILTER, Spirogyra porticalis, Water quality standards

Abstract

Chili is a highly popular commodity plant among the public. However, domestic chili productivity often declines due to pest infestations. Whiteflies are one of the pests that can affect chili production yields. Cassava leaves serve as an alternative for producing natural insecticides to combat whitefly infestations. The objective of this study is to determine the phytochemical compounds present, evaluate the effectiveness of cassava leaf methanol extract, and identify the optimal concentration of cassava leaf methanol extract and observation time for the highest whitefly mortality rate on chili plants. This research is a factorial experimental study with two factors using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The first factor is the concentration of cassava leaf methanol extract (10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%), along with a negative control (distilled water) and a positive control (40% methomyl). The second factor is the observation time, which consists of 0.5 hours, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 24 hours after treatment. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS, followed by a Tukey test. Phytochemical tests revealed that the methanol extract of cassava leaves contains flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and cyanide acid (HCN). Probit analysis results showed an LC50 value at a concentration of 32.61%. The Tukey test results indicated that cassava leaf methanol extract had the most significant effect on whitefly mortality at a 40% concentration with a treatment duration of 2 hours.

Abstract

The release of birds of prey requires suitable habitats to ensure the success and survival of the species in the wild. This study aimed to conduct a habitat assessment in the Nglanggeran area, Yogyakarta, as a potential release site for birds of prey. The methods included exploratory and stationary observations to record the species, numbers, behavior, and movement of birds of prey, complemented by data collection on other bird species, potential prey, and threats through semi-structured interviews. The results showed that the Nglanggeran area, dominated by teak, mahogany, acacia, and fruit trees, supports birds of prey such as the Crested Serpent Eagle (Spilornis cheela), Spotted Kestrel (Falco moluccensis), Chinese Goshawk (Accipiter soloensis), and Oriental Honey Buzzard (Pernis ptilorhynchus). This habitat was deemed suitable based on the availability of food, nesting sites, and minimal threats. These findings support the potential of Nglanggeran as a release site for birds of prey in the Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta region.

Abstract

Stingless bee honey (Meliponini) is a natural product with strategic value in the functional food and health industries due to its unique bioactive compound content. However, variations in honey composition based on nectar sources in Indonesia, have not been thoroughly documented. This study aims to analyze the differences in moisture content, total sugars, polyphenols, antioxidant activity, and antimicrobial properties of stingless bee honey derived from different nectar sources. Honey samples were obtained from three distinct vegetative sources: acacia, rambutan, and longan nectars. Laboratory analyses were conducted using standard methods, including spectrophotometry for measuring sugar and polyphenol contents, DPPH assay for antioxidant activity, and disc diffusion method for antimicrobial testing. The results showed that honey from rambutan nectar had the lowest moisture content (23.5% ±1.2), the highest polyphenol content (356 ±21 mg GAE/100g), and the strongest antioxidant activity (IC50 12.4 mg/mL). In addition, this honey also demonstrated antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with an inhibition zone of 14.2 ±1.5 mm. These findings indicate that nectar source plays a crucial role in determining honey quality, and may serve as a foundation for the development of high-value honey products based on local floral biodiversity.
