Abstract

Nugroho RA, Meylianawati, Asokawati OF, Sari YP, Hardi EH. 2018. The effects of dietary Eleutherine bulbosa on the growth, leukocyte profile, and digestive enzymes activity of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. Nusantara Bioscience 10: 46-51. This study was conducted to examine the effects of Eleutherine bulbosa (Mill.) Urb extract (EAE) on the average weekly gain (AWG), specific growth rate (SGR), feed efficiency (FE), digestive enzyme (amylase, lipase, protease) activity, total and differential leukocyte counts, and phagocytosis activity of the striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus). Four groups of fish with three replicates were fed 15 (P1), 30 (P2), 45 (P3), and 60 (P4) g kg-1of EAE in a basal diet and compared with control (C) fish without EAE at a rate 3% of body weight for 4 weeks. At the end of the trial, the results showed that fish fed EAE above 15 g kg-1 in the diet significantly increased AWG, while SGR, FE, lipase, protease, and neutrophil, and lymphocyte activity were not affected by any dietary concentration of EAE. The diet containing 45 g kg-1 EAE increased amylase activity in the fish while the highest number of leukocytes and phagocytosis activity was found in the fish fed 30 g kg-1 EAE in the diet. These findings suggest that the inclusion of EAE in the diet, in amounts higher than 30 g kg-1, is beneficial in improving amylase, leukocyte and phagocytosis activity of fish.

Abstract

Qadermarzi A, Pouladi M, Rezamand A, Hoseinifar SH, Hedayati AA. 2018. Investigation of sub-acute levels of zinc oxide nanoparticles on the filtration rate of Mytilaster lineatus and Dressina polymorpha in the short term. Nusantara Bioscience 10: 53-57. The filtration rate is one of the physiological indices in the bivalves which indicate the degree of efficacy of the filtration function in the exposure to contaminants. In this study, changes in the filtration rate of freshwater bivalves (D. polymorpha and M. lineatus) were investigated after exposure periods of 5 and 10 days with nanoparticles. Bivalves were transferred from the natural environment to the laboratory. The distribution of nanoparticles was measured by differential light scattering (DLS). Bivalves were exposed to 2.5, 25 and 50 ppm nanoparticles for ten days in water reservoirs. The filtration rates were significantly different in the treatments compared to the control samples, with the highest filtration rate was observed in the control group. On the fifth day, the highest filtration rate was obtained in the first treatment of M. lineatus and the lowest filtration rate was obtained in the third treatment of D. polymorphia. The highest filtration rates were observed in the first and second treatments and the lowest filtration rate was observed in the third treatment. Also, there was no significant difference in the filtration rate of M. lineatus in the 1st treatment with control (P> 0.05) on the 5th day, but filtration rate was significantly (P <0.05) less than other concentrations and control group in the third treatment. On the other hand, the filtration rates on the 10th day showed similar differences compared to the 5th day. It could be concluded that the changes infiltration rate are an appropriate indicator for the measurement of contamination in nanoparticles.

Abstract

Amalah N, Widyartini DS, Christiani, Hidayah HP. 2018. The effect of dilution level of liquid tapioca waste culture medium and concentration of phosphate on the growth of microalgae Navicula sp.. Nusantara Bioscience 10: 65-69. Liquid tapioca waste can be used as microalgae culture medium due to its nutrient contents that can support the life of microalgae. Liquid tapioca waste contains phosphate nutrient that can influence cell division and fat formation. Liquid tapioca waste is usually still highly concentrated, so it has to be diluted first to allow the light penetrates the microalgae growth medium. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of interaction between dilution level of liquid tapioca waste and concentration of phosphate on the density of Navicula sp. This research employed a factorial treatment design laid out in a Completely Randomized Design. The first factor was the dilution level of liquid tapioca liquid waste, consisted of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%, and the second factor was the concentration of phosphate comprised of 0 ppm, 10 ppm, 20 ppm, and 30 ppm. ANOVA results indicated a significant interaction between the dilution level of liquid tapioca waste and concentration of phosphate on the density of Navicula sp. DMRT post hoc test showed that dilution of liquid tapioca liquid at the level of 20% without phosphate addition was the best treatment that produced the highest Navicula sp. density.

Abstract

Jaikishun S, Hoosein A, Ansari AA. 2018. The effects of vermicompost and vermiwash from the medicinal plants, neem (Azadirachta indica) and lime (Citrus aurantifolia), on the growth parameters of lettuce in a hydroponic system. Nusantara Bioscience 10: 91-95. The farming community is confronting critical issues on the usage of chemicals and rapidly decreasing arable lands from salinity, flooding and drought. This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of vermiwash produced from medicinal plants, as a potential substitute for chemicals, and standard hydroponic solution in supporting the growth of lettuce in a hydroponic system, a soilless medium. Vermicompost and vermiwash were produced from Azadirachta indica, and Citrus aurantifolia using Eisenia fetida and physiochemical analyses done indicated the presence of adequate amount of nutrients for plant growth. Therefore, using vermiwash and vermicompost as a standard hydroponic solution is an efficient and effective method of growing more food for the world’s growing population in soilless medium, thereby reducing the dependency on land. Plants grown in the vermiwash and vermicompost in the hydroponic system had higher productivity than the one produced by commercial hydroponic solution.
