Abstract

The isolation of endophytic fungi (penicillium sp) from binahong stem had been undertaken with the objective to determine its content of secondary metabolites and its antibacterial activity. The content of secondary metabolites was analyzed with HPLC and its antibacterial activity was measured using paper disc diffusion method. The results showed that there were four compounds in the HPLC chromatogram detected at 235 nm. The antibacterial activity for methanol and ethyl acetate extracts were observed for its diameter of zone inhibition at 18.2 mm and 16.7 mm for S.aureus and 17.8 mm and 16.3 mm for E. Coli.

Abstract

Research on toxicity test of Sarcophyton sp. extract from Timor against Artemia s. Leach Nauplii has been conducted. Sarcophyton sp. from Paradiso beach, Kupang, was macerated in n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol then each macerate was evaporated at 400C and 450C to dry. The dried extract resulted was tested its secondary metabolite content and toxicity using Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT). The results showed that the methanol extract contains saponins, phenols, and steroids while the ethyl acetate extract contains steroids and terpenoids. The toxicity test against artemia showed that the methanol extract from Sarcophyton sp. is very toxic to the nauplii with LC50 value of 29,56 ppm while the ethyl acetate extract is classified toxic and gave LC50 value of 34,11 ppm.

Abstract

A research on the decrease of cadmium (Cd) content in shrimps by soaking them in palm (Arenga Pinnata) vinegar has been done. This study aimed to determine the removal percentage (%) of cadmium from shrimp after immersed in palm (Arenga Pinnata) vinegar and to determine the concentration and immersion time optimum in reducing the cadmium metal content in shrimps. The research was conducted in several steps namely sample preparation, determination of optimum concentration of vinegar, simulation of shrimp pollution, sample soaking in palm (Arenga Pinnata) vinegar and determination of cadmium content in samples. A two-way ANOVA test (α = 0,05) showed that the variation of palm (Arenga Pinnata) vinegar concentration has significant effect on reducing Cd content, while contact times have no significant effect on the reduction of Cd content in shrimps. It was found that the optimum concentration of palm (Arenga Pinnata) vinegar was 2% and optimum immersion time was 30 minutes. The removal percentage (%) of cadmium content from shrimps using palm vinegar reached 98.84%.

Abstract

Analysis of essential oil contained in Flores’s Melaleuca cajuputi Powell leaves has been done over GC-MS spectrometer. By distilling of the pre-dried leave samples using Stahl apparatus, there was 3% of colorless and cajuputi typical oil yielded. The GC-MS detected 16 compounds mainly 63% of 1,8-cineol, 11% of α-terpineol, and 12% -terpenylacetate.

Abstract

A study of Greywater treatment has been conducted. By utilising vast local coral reefs and sand as filter media, we aimed to treat synthetic waste water in term of reducing its pH, temperature, COD, phosphates and turbidity parameter. The sample was passed gravitationally through 3 variation of filtering agent composition i.e. 1:1, 2:1 and 1:2 of coral reefs to sand ratio respectively in 2 flow rates: 0,4 and 0,8 mL/s. The collected up flow effluent was then analysed. Data resulted were then tested with ANOVA statistical test. The result showed that the mass ratio of the media and the flow rate influenced parameters. The best treatment was obtained at the 1:1 mass ratio in 0,4 mL/s flow rate. The effluent fulfilled the Indonesian water standard quality according to PP No 82 tahun 2001 and PERMENKES No 416/MENKES/PER/1990.

Abstract

Research has been carried out on the synthesis and characterization of Mg - Chitosan complex ions from shrimp shells using crosslink method. Chitosan isolation was made in four stages, namely deproteination, demineralization, depigmentation and deacetylation. The maximum degree of deacetylation (DD) of chitosan is 89%. Based on XRD and FTIR data, chitosan obtained is in the form of amorphous and there are typical wave number of chitosan, namely 3444.91 cm-1 and 1658.4 cm-1 associated to O-H, N-H dan C=O.
