Abstract

The housefly (Musca domestica) is a vector that can spread bacteria through its body organs. This study aims to identify the bacteria on the exoskeleton of houseflies. The samples were collected from boarding houses, Biology department and postgraduate program of Universitas Negeri Makassar using insect nets. Morphological observations were conducted on selective media (EMBA, MSA, and TCBSA), followed by Gram staining and biochemical tests. The results revealed six types of bacteria: Enterobacter sp., Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Vibrio cho­­lerae, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Escherichia coli was found on houseflies collected from boarding houses. Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Escherichia coli were identified on houseflies from the postgraduate campus. Meanwhile, Enterobacter sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerae, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus were found on houseflies from the Biology department campus. These findings indicate that houseflies from the Biology department campus harbored a greater quantity and diversity of bacteria compared to samples from other locations.

Abstract

Indonesia, as a megadiverse country, holds extensive biodiversity and rich local knowledge, particularly in the use of medicinal plants. This study aimed to document the use of traditional medicinal plants by the Pandalungan community in Taman Village, Grujugan District, Bondowoso Regency, and to assess their phytochemical potential. A qualitative approach was employed through semi-structured interviews using purposive and snowball sampling. Data was collected covering plant species, parts used, and sources of acquisition. A literature-based phytochemical review was also conducted to evaluate the scientific potential of the identified species. The Use Value (UV) was calculated to determine the cultural importance of each species. A total of 25 medicinal plant species were documented, with 13 cultivated, 5 wild, and 7 sourced from traditional markets. The highest UV scores were recorded for Zingiber officinale, Piper betle, Moringa oleifera, and Syzygium polyanthum. Literature analysis revealed that these plants contain key phytochemicals such as flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, terpenoids, phenols, and essential oils. The findings indicate that local ethnobotanical knowledge holds significant potential for developing natural remedies based on local biodiversity, reinforcing the need for further research and conservation efforts.
