Abstract

Agricultural activities around the Telaga Tunjung Dam also have the potential for the entry of heavy metal cadmium (Cd) into the water and accumulate in aquatic organisms, especially in fish. The presence of cadmium (Cd) in water and fish that exceeds the limit can have a negative impact on human health. The purpose of this study was to determine the cadmium (Cd) content in water and tilapia that had been caught in the Telaga Tunjung Dam. The study was conducted at the Telaga Tunjung Dam from February to March 2023. The research method used was a comparative descriptive method. The highest cadmium (Cd) content in water was detected at station IV, which was 0.078 mg/l. Cadmium (Cd) content was also detected in tilapia liver at 1.043 mg/kg, and the highest cadmium (Cd) content was detected in tilapia meat at 1.541 mg/kg. These values ​​have exceeded the quality standard threshold set by Bali Governor Regulation No. 8 of 2007 (0.01 mg/l), and SNI 7387:2009 for the fish and processed fish category (0.1 mg/kg). Meanwhile, the results of measurements of dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature and pH are still optimal and support the life of aquatic organisms.

Abstract

The poultry sector in Bali has experienced substantial growth, accompanied by a notable increase in broiler chicken populations. Information on Klebsiella spp. outbreaks in Bali has not yet been studied, despite the many potential infectious diseases that may affect broiler chickens on a large scale. Klebsiella spp. is an opportunistic pathogen that can induce severe respiratory disease in poultry, carrying a potential risk of zoonotic transmission. Furthermore, the increasing incidence of antibiotic resistance among Klebsiella strains poses a critical challenge to effective therapeutic interventions. This study was conducted to isolate and identify Klebsiella spp. from the gastrointestinal tract of broiler chickens in commercial farms across Bali, and to assess the antimicrobial resistance profiles of the isolates against multiple antibiotic agents. A cross-sectional study with a total of 25 cloacal swabs was conducted, and the swabs were subjected to microbiological analysis. Isolation was performed using selective MacConkey Agar (MCA), followed by Gram staining, biochemical identification, and antibiotic susceptibility testing through the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Two out of 25 (8%) samples were positively identified as Klebsiella spp. All of these positive isolates showed complete resistance to ampicillin, sulfamethoxazole, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, and tetracycline. Additionally, the positive isolates also exhibited intermediate resistance against kanamycin, while 50% of the isolates demonstrated susceptibility to chloramphenicol. These findings confirm the presence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains among the isolates examined. The outcomes of this research emphasize the urgent need for a rigorous study to identify potential outbreaks caused by Klebsiella spp., throughout commercial farms in Bali and stringent monitoring and regulation of antibiotic usage within the poultry industry to mitigate the proliferation of antimicrobial resistance, thereby safeguarding animal health and preventing potential risks to public health.

Abstract

The Wonocolo traditional oil mining area has oil exploitation activities that have the potential to affect the existence and diversity of soil macrofauna. Soil macrofauna play an essential role in maintaining the balance of the soil ecosystem through the processes of organic matter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and soil structure formation. This study aims to evaluate the Importance Value Index (IVI) of soil macrofauna in the Wonocolo traditional oil mining area and analyze the effect of mining activities on the macrofauna community. The research method employed is a quantitative descriptive approach, utilizing a stratified random sampling technique based on the density of oil wells per hectare. Data were collected through field observations, measurements of soil physical and chemical parameters (pH and temperature), and identification and quantification of soil macrofauna. Data analysis was conducted by calculating the IVI based on the density, frequency of presence, and dominance of each species. The results showed that traditional oil mining activities affected the composition and dominance of soil macrofauna. Several species had high IVI values, indicating their essential role in the soil ecosystem, while other species experienced population declines due to environmental changes. This study concludes that oil mining activities impact the existence and diversity of soil macrofauna; therefore, environmental management efforts are necessary to maintain the balance of the soil ecosystem in the area.

Abstract

Wonocolo Village in Bojonegoro Regency is one of the traditional oil mining areas that still contains old Dutch oil wells. The presence of these wells has the potential to affect groundwater quality. Petroleum that contaminates the soil can seep into groundwater, posing a serious threat to areas that rely on it as a source of clean water. This study aims to evaluate groundwater parameters, including temperature, pH, cadmium, and sulfate, by the standards set by the Indonesian Ministry of Health Regulation No. 32 of 2017, specifically regarding hygiene, sanitation, and public baths. Sampling was conducted using a purposive sampling method at 14 points. Data analysis was performed using the inverse distance weighted (IDW) interpolation method. The results showed that in the densely populated southern part of the study area, the temperature at sampling point SG 13 reached 35°C, and cadmium levels across all samples ranged from 0.059 to 0.156 mg/L, exceeding the permitted quality standards. In contrast, pH and sulfate values met the quality standards set by Permenkes No. 32 of 2017. Therefore, efforts are necessary to reduce cadmium levels in the groundwater of Wonocolo Village, Bojonegoro Regency.

Abstract

Plant phenology is the study of the growth time of plants that occurs repeatedly every year. In the process, growth is accompanied by development at both the cellular and tissue levels of differentiated plants, resulting in the formation of organs with specific functions as a form of environmental adaptation. The lack of mangrove reproduction data motivates this study to investigate the development and differentiation of generative organs in several species of true mangroves within Ngurah Rai Forest Park. Sampling was conducted in the Ngurah Rai Forest Park, while observations were made in the Plant Structure and Development Laboratory at Udayana University. The research method involved observing and comparing changes in the morphological and anatomical structures of the species Avicennia marina, Sonneratia alba, and Xylocarpus granatum. The results found that all species have all the flower’s main parts (stamen, pistil, petal, sepal), with some species having nectar around the receptacle to attract pollinators. The fruit development in X. granatum formed without any of the flower parts, while in S. alba, it clearly involves the calyx and stylus as its main parts of fruit, and A. marina only has a small calyx as part of the fruit. Based on the sprout characteristics, S. alba and X. granatum are classified as normal fruits, while A. marina has cryptoviviparous fruit. As for seeds, the endospermic seed was observed in S. alba and X. granatum, while A. marina has a non-endospermic seed with fully developed cotyledons.

Abstract

The red devil fish (Amphilophus citrinellus) has a rapid breeding nature; its presence is a problem and detrimental to fish farmers. This study aims to examine the reproductive aspects of the fish, which can be seen from several elements: sex ratio, gonad maturity level, gonad maturity index, and fecundity. The research method used is descriptive quantitative. Samples of red devil fish (Amphilophus citrinellus) were collected using purposive sampling at three sampling station locations. We conducted the sampling three times, every two weeks. Each sample collection consisted of 15 fish per station. The equipment used was a gill net with a mesh size of 2.5 inches, a net length of 100 m, and a net height of 1 m. We then place the caught fish into a coolbox and observe them. The research results indicate an imbalance in the sex ratio of the red devil fish population in Lake Batur. The male red devil fish population is larger than the female population. Based on the gonad maturity level (TKG), male red devil fish are most commonly found at TKG III and II, each having 20 individuals, while females are dominated by TKG IV, which has 35 individuals. The average gonad maturity index (IKG) for male fish is 0.25–0.65, while for females, it is 1.58–2.32. The average fecundity of females ranges from 582 to 790 eggs.

Abstract

Sea urchins are organisms that have antibacterial, antitumor, and anticancer abilities. The gonads can be used as a food source because they store 28 kinds of amino acids, vitamin B complex. This research aims to determine the type of bacteria from the gonads of sea urchins (Diadema setosum) which have inhibitory power against the growth of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. This research used an exploratory method which was analyzed descriptively, using stages in which sea urchin samples were taken and antibacterial tests against Pseudomonas fluorescens and Staphylococcus aureus from sea urchin gonads using the spread method. The media used for the process of isolating bacteria from the gonads of the sea urchin Diadema setosum is Nutrient Agar (NA) media. Isolate colonies that grew after incubation for 24 hours were separated based on differences in colony morphology. Morphological characterization of bacterial cells begins with gram staining. The diameter of the inhibition zone in the test bacteria shows different shapes. The research obtained 8 bacterial isolates, namely isolates B1-B8 which were gram-negative. The eight bacterial isolates have the potential as antibacterials against the test bacteria P. fluorescens and S. aureus. Isolates B1, B2, B3, B7 are similar to the genus Proteus, while isolates B4, B5, B6, and B8 are similar to the genus Citrobacter. The diameter of the largest inhibition zone in the P.fluorescens test bacteria, namely isolate B1, was 9.03 mm. Meanwhile, the smallest diameter for isolate B7 was 6.97 mm. In the S.aureus test bacteria, the largest diameter in isolate B1 was 11.09 mm. Meanwhile, the smallest diameter for isolate B4 was 8.57 mm.

Abstract

Microplastic pollution is a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health, particularly in Indonesia, a major contributor to plastic waste. This study investigated the presence and characteristics of microplastics in three commonly consumed fish species from Tondano Lake, North Sulawesi: mujair (Oreochromis mossambicus), payangka baru (Oxyeleotris marmorata), and payangka lama (Ophiocara poropechala). Analysis of gills and gastrointestinal tracts (GIT) from 11 fish samples revealed microplastic contamination in all species. Mujair exhibited the highest microplastic abundance, predominantly fragments in both gills and GIT. Payangka baru showed more fibers in the GIT and fragments in the gills, while payangka lama had more fibers in the GIT and fragments in the gills. A positive correlation was observed between fish body weight and microplastic accumulation in the GIT, but not the gills. The findings confirm microplastic contamination in Tondano Lake fish, highlighting the need for stricter waste management and further research on human health implications.
