Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis is still the main cause of death in the world, accounting for 2 million people die every year. WHO states that around 1.9 billion people, one third of the world's population, have been infected with tuberculosis germs, every second one person is infected with tuberculosis in the world. Pulmonary tuberculosis is transmitted through droplet spread with the source of infection being patients who are coughing with household contacts as a high risk group for transmission. To find out the results of the examination and see the percentage of positive or negative acid-fast bacilli (AFB) in a sample of clients who have a history of household contact with patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. This study uses a with correlation approach research method with an observational approach. The sampling technique is purposive sampling, namely sampling based on the considerations of the researcher. The examination method used was the Zielh Nelseen method of 30 sputum samples examined. From 30 respondents, 4 respondents were found positive for microscopic acid-fast bacilli (AFB). 2 positive family members, have the characteristics of dense housing (not eligible), humidity and ventilation do not meet the requirements, but the type of floor still meets the requirements. Based on the research that has been carried out, it is concluded that 4 (13%) respondents were identified as positive for scanty with the presence of tuberculosis in 3 places of tuberculosis in household contacts, with factors that influence the occurrence of tuberculosis in household contacts. There is no significant relationship between the results of AFB examination and gender (p value = 0.407> 0.05). There is no significant relationship between the results of AFB examination and age (p value = 0.272> 0.05).

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.

Abstract

Beauveria mildew is known as useful natural control agent, due to it’s infection potential agents for controlling insect. The range of its host covers broad range of insects order including Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera and Hymenoptera. In the past, the behavior of B.bassiana was identified based on morphological character, which is have weakness because of environmental effect so the fenotype performance does not manifest the genotype value. Another identification method can be used to complete morphological approach is identification based on physiological behavior (toxin production) and biochemical (protein and isoenzim) where the protein analysis and isoenzim, is order to minimize the influence of environment factor for identification. The research was conducted in Laboratorium Biology UNM, there is 11 isolates B.bassiana used in this research represent location and host. Isolates were analyzed by physiological and isoenzim using electrophoresis. The result of physiological character showed that out of 11 isolates characterized, there are isolates produced beauvericin, interestingly the rest isolates produced unknown on identified metabolites. Based on total band protein pattern and isoenzim showed that there are variation, isolates from the same area or district have more similarity characters than isolates from different area.

Abstract

Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum (Fo), is a major disease affecting potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L.) and contributes significantly to yield losses. This study aimed to isolate and identify antagonistic bacteria from the potato rhizosphere capable of inhibiting the growth of F. oxysporum and to assess their antifungal potential through in vitro analysis. Soil samples were collected from the potato-growing region of Kanreapia, Gowa Regency, Indonesia. The antagonistic potential of the bacterial isolates was evaluated using the dual-culture assay. A total of eight bacterial isolates demonstrated significant inhibitory effects against Fo, representing six genera: Clostridium (75.0%), Bacillus (69.3% and 68.9%), Pseudomonas (67.9% and 62.1%), Staphylococcus (64.8%), Neisseria (64.7%), and Serratia (61.5%). Among these, the isolate identified as Clostridium exhibited the highest inhibition rate (75.0%), while Serratia showed the lowest (61.5%). These findings suggest the potential application of rhizobacteria as biological control agents for managing Fusarium wilt in potatoes.

Abstract

Reactive Black 5 (RB5) is an azo dye widely used in the textile industry and improper processing of this dye can harmful to the aquatic environment, including limited light penetration and potential carcinogenic and mutagenic effects on aquatic organisms. Therefore, RB5 in waters needs to be handled seriously, one of which is through bioremediation efforts using Cholera vulgaris. Meanwhile, chlorella growth is highly dependent on various light spectrums. This study aimed to examine the effect of different light spectrums (red, blue, and white) on C. vulgaris cell density-based growth and its ability to decolorate RB5. A completely randomized design with three replications was applied using 30 mg/L RB5 solution, and was conducted for 12 days at laboratoty. Cell density was measured by a hemocytometer, and dye concentration was analyzed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed that blue light produced the highest algal growth, reaching 2.78 × 10⁷ cells/mL on the ninth day. Meanwhile, white light produced the greatest RB5 decolorization, reaching 80% reduction on the last day. These findings highlight the role of different light spectrums in optimizing algal cell density and dye removal efficiency.

Abstract

Ulvan is a sulfated polysaccharide derived from green seaweed cell walls, particularly from species within the genus Ulva. These macroalgae contain various bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, vitamins, and dietary fiber, which contribute to their potential applications in pharmaceutical and biomedical fields. This study aimed to extract ulvan from Ulva reticulata collected from the coastal area of Nasipit, Agusan del Norte, and to characterize its functional groups using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The extraction was carried out using an acid-based method, yielding approximately 3.5 g of crude polysaccharide. The structural characteristics of the polysaccharide extracts were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The FTIR spectra revealed key functional groups at specific absorption peaks: 3231-3369 cm⁻¹ (hydroxyl groups/alcohol), 1652 cm⁻¹ (amides), 1403 cm⁻¹ (aromatic rings), and 1120 cm⁻¹ (aliphatic amines). A comparative analysis was conducted between the FTIR profiles of U. reticulata obtained via acid extraction in this study and secondary data from literature involving hot water extraction of U. reticulata and acid extraction of Ulva lactuca. This comparison aims to evaluate how different extraction methods and species variations influence the presence and intensity of functional groups in the resulting ulvan.
