Abstract

Undergrowth is one of the constituents of a forest vegetation ecosystem. Over time, the condition of the land that has experienced succession will be overgrown by pioneer species and become understory. This research is to determine the distribution of understory species at the post-land clearing location at the greenhouse construction site, Department of Biology, UIN Alauddin Makassar. The variables of this research are diversity, evenness, dominance, and community similarity of understory plants that live in that location. Based on observations, the species distribution at the study site reached 35 species in 3 observation points. This condition indicates that the understory species in the research area are abundant and dominated by L. Nummularia, S. obtusifolia, and C. dactylon. The community similarity index shows a figure of 12%, which means the categories are not the same. The species diversity index shows that the three observation plots are moderate. Regarding the evenness, only S. nodiflora had a moderate evenness (0.6 ≤ e ≤ 0.4). Meanwhile, species with low evenness (e < 0.4) were C. dactylon, S. tora, and S. obtusifolia.

Abstract

Storing rice for a long time in the warehouse has the potential to be attacked by warehouse pests, namely rice weevil insect (Sitophilus oryzae). Rice weevil attacked on storage rice caused a decrease in the quality and quantity of rice, so environmentally friendly pest control is needed, such as the used of bioactive plant compounds as botanical insecticides. This research aimed to see the effect of bioactive compounds from the combined powder of fragrant pandan (Pandanus amaryllifolius) and wuluh starfruit (Averrhoa bilimbi) leaves on the mortality of the rice weevil pest S. oryzae. The method of this research used a non-factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) experimental method with 4 concentration levels of botanical insecticide combination powder, that were 30, 40, 50 and 60 g. The research results showed that the combination of fragrant pandan and wuluh starfruit leaf powders contained bioactive compounds were steroids, terpenoids, saponins, flavonoids, phenolics and tannins. The activity of the bioactive compounds saponins, flavonoids, phenolics and tannins worked as inhibitors of insect feeding (antifeedant) and caused the mortality of S. oryzae. The highest mortality percentage reaching 85% was obtained after applicated by a concentration of 50 g. The increase in mortality of the S. oryzae pest occurred every week, until mortality reached more than 80% in the 3rd week was obtained in treatment concentrations of 30 g (84.2%) and 50 g (85%).

Abstract

This Article describes 3Dimention studies carried out of catalytic site  over the past year which have advanced of understanding the substrate to recognizition and how the catalytic mechanism of the several key DNAse I. The hydrolysis reaction that occurs in DNASe I is influenced by Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ but let the Binding of DNASe I ions is still unclear, the active side is found, the amount and mechanism of Ca2+ and Mg2+ . The results of the review in this article indicate that DNASe I is needed externally from experimental animals and simulations improve the binding reaction of Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ which is supported by some literature that uses crystallographic studies where Ca 2+ ions can stabilize DNASe I and also in the presence of Mg 2+ ions that can accelerate the hydrolytic failure of the cation. The results of the review explain the role of cations collectively electrostatic matching between DNASe I and DNA.

Abstract

The emergence and spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in recent decades complicates the antibiotic therapy. The grey mangrove (Avicennia marina) has flavonoid, terpenoid, saponin, phenolic, tannin, and alkaloid chemical compounds that have antimicrobial activity, thus potentially inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus. This study aims to examine the effects of the grey mangrove (Avicennia marina) leaf extracts on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. This research uses laboratory experimental design with disc diffusion method to test the inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria growth in Mueller-Hinton medium. There were 6 treatment groups, namely negative control of 0.2% DMSO,  positive control of amoxicillin 30 µg, Avicennia marina leaf extract at concentration of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The results of this research showed that Avicennia marina leaf extract produces inhibition zone of 7.06 mm, 8.51 mm, 10.07 mm, 13.29 mm at concentration of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Meanwhile, positive control produces inhibiton zone of 23.65 mm, and negative control has no inhibition zone. The statistical tests using one-way ANOVA resulted in a significance value of less than 0.05 (p<α). The conclusion of this study showed that the grey mangrove (Avicennia marina) leaf extract at 100% concentration is the most effective treatment group in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, although the inhibition was not much better when compared to the inhibition of the positive control group.

Abstract

Ekstrak tumbuhan mengandung metabolit sekunder berupa flavonoid dan senyawa fenolik yang memiliki aktivitas antibiotik. Uji aktivitas antibiotik dapat dilakukan dengan metode cakram Kirby-Bauer yang aktivitas antibiotiknya ditunjukkan dengan terbentuknya zona bening. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan ekstrak  daun Moringa oleifera  dan  kladode Opuntia cochenillifera  yang diekstrak menggunakan etil asetat sebagai pelarut. Uji aktivitas antibiotik terhadap  bakteri Staphylococcus aureus  dilakukan pada media Mannitol Salt Agar dan Luria Bertani Agar. Cakram Kirby-Bauer yang digunakan adalah Antimicrobial Disc Oxoid® dan Filter Paper. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan Antimicrobial disc Oxoid® dan Filter Paper tidak menunjukkan perbedaan secara statistik pada hasil zona bening (t-value = 0,45; p-value = 0,655; dengan α = 95%). Sementara itu, hasil Clear Zone pada Mannitol Salt Agar memberikan hasil yang lebih baik daripada Luria Bertani Agar dan signifikan secara statistik (nilai-t = 2,46; nilai-p = 0,02; dengan α = 95%). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa kertas saring dapat menjadi alternatif yang murah untuk uji antibiotik dengan hasil yang tidak berbeda secara signifikan dibandingkan dengan cakram antibiotik komersial. Namun, uji antibiotik terhadap Staphylococcus aureus lebih baik dilakukan pada Mannitol Salt Agar dibandingkan dengan Luria Bertani Agar.
