Abstract

Bioinsektisida merupakan bahan hayati pengendali organisme pengganggu yang berpotensi menjadi hama, di antaranya rayap. Bahan hayati yang berpotensi sebagai bioinsektisida adalah kulit buah jengkol. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mendapatkan konsentrasi optimal dari ekstrak kulit buah jengkol sebagai bioinsektisida rayap. Skrining fitokimia ekstrak kulit buah jengkol dilakukan secara kualitatif. Mahoni dan jati belanda dijadikan sebagai kayu uji yang direndam ekstrak kulit buah jengkol (konsentrasi 0; 2; 4; dan 6%) selama 24 jam. Kedua jenis kayu diuji pada rayap menggunakan metode pengumpanan (Baiting) dengan tiga kali ulangan. Parameter yang diamati adalah mortalitas rayap, penurunan berat kayu uji, dan nilai retensi ekstrak. Data dianalisis Anova (95%) dengan uji lanjut DMRT menggunakan SPSS 25. Ekstrak terbukti mengandung alkaloid, fenol, flavonoid, saponin, tanin, dan terpenoid yang berpotensi sebagai racun pencernaan pada rayap. Mortalitas rayap di setiap perlakuan (2; 4; dan 6%) berbeda nyata (P <0,05) dengan perlakuan 0% pada semua kayu uji serta dapat meningkatkan keawetan kayu. Penurunan berat kayu terendah pada perlakuan 6% dan tergolong pada kelas awet I. Ekstrak kulit buah jengkol (6%) mampu meningkatkan kelas awet kayu mahoni dan jati belanda terhadap serangan rayap.

Abstract

Oxidative stress, characterized by an imbalance between reactive oxygen species and antioxidant defenses, contributes to various diseases. Natural products, particularly plant-derived compounds, offer promising therapeutic avenues due to their antioxidant potential. This study investigates the antioxidant properties of wild Sumatran turmeric (Curcuma sumatrana), an endemic Zingiberaceae species from Sumatra, through in silico computational analyses of its rhizome’s bioactive compounds. Twenty-two compounds were evaluated for drug-likeness using Lipinski’s Rule of Five, revealing 21 compounds (95%) as orally bioavailable. Predictive bioactivity via PASS Online identified six compounds with moderate antioxidant activity (Pa >0.3). Molecular docking against antioxidant enzymes (GPx, SOD, CAT) and the Keap1-Nrf2 complex demonstrated significant binding affinities. Notably, 9,10-Epoxy-12-octadecenoate exhibited superior binding to SOD (-5.75 kcal/mol), GPx (-6.42 kcal/mol), and Keap1-Nrf2 (-8.39 kcal/mol), outperforming native ligands. Abietic acid and N-Octylgallate also showed strong interactions with Keap1-Nrf2, suggesting activation of antioxidant response pathways. The results highlight C. sumatrana’s potential to modulate enzymatic antioxidants and Nrf2 signalling. The findings underscore the species’ role as a source of bioactive compounds with drug-like properties, advocating further exploration of its phytochemicals for mitigating oxidative stress-related pathologies while highlighting C. sumatrana as a viable candidate for developing natural therapeutics targeting redox imbalance.

Abstract

Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt.) is a high-value spice commodity from Indonesia, often contamination with aflatoxin-producing Aspergillus flavus. Previous research has identified two epiphytic yeast isolates from nutmeg plants, namely DP1341a and DP1342, both of which were identified as Pseudozyma hubeiensis and showed antagonistic potential against A. flavus. This study is a follow- up study that aims to test the antagonistic activity of both isolates against A. flavus in vivo on nutmeg seeds. The research was conducted experimentally through several stages, namely testing the compatibility of isolates on Yeast Malt Agar (YMA) media, determining the optimum fermentation time, and applying liquid culture and fermentation filtrate to 120 nutmeg seeds. Results showed that the consortium of isolates DP1341a and DP1342 did not increase the inhibitory power results compared to single cultures with optimum fermentation times of 10 and 14 days, respectively. In vivo applications show that treatment with DP1342 isolate (KC-DP1342) and consortium in liquid culture provides the highest level of resistance to A. flavus infection, namely 38.67% and 28.00%. The findings suggest that P. hubeiensis DP1342 has potential as a biological control agent in controlling A. flavus on nutmeg seeds, although further formulation and optimization are needed.

Abstract

Wreathed hornbill is a bird species that  can be a bio-indicator and has a role in forest regeneration.  This study aimed to estimate the population density of the wreathed hornbill and to identify its habitat characteristics. Bird populations were counted using the Variable Circular Plot (VCP) method. Habitat characteristics were then assessed by measuring environmental factors and analyzing vegetation within 20 × 20 m plots established at foraging, roosting, and nesting sites. Data analysis involved determining individual density, distribution pattern, conducting vegetation analysis, and performing a Principal Component Analysis (PCA).  Wreathed hornbill that was found are 20 ± 1.2 individuals. The population density is 7.047 individuals/km2 and has a clustered distribution pattern. The habitat of the wreathed hornbill is characterized by a vegetation composition consisting of 14 species from 8 families. Types of trees with the highest INP were Ficus mbulu (Ficus annulata) (INP 54%), Ficus krandan (Ficus sp1) (INP 46%), and Ficus bulu so (Ficus globosa) (INP 32%). There are 9 types of foraging trees, 10 species of roasting trees, and 1 nesting tree species used by the wreated hornbill. Based on PCA, wind speed and light intensity are environmental factors that have a correlation with the population density of the wreated hornbill in Sokokembang Forest.

Abstract

Cassia alata is widely used in traditional medicine for treating skin infections, yet its antifungal properties and chemical constituents remain underexplored. This study aimed to identify bioactive compounds in C. alata leaves and evaluate their antioxidant and antimicrobial potential. Phytochemical analysis was performed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Antioxidant activity was assessed using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay. Antimicrobial efficacy was tested against Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, Malassezia furfur, and Trichophyton rubrum at extract concentrations of 6; 9; 12; and 15%. GC-MS analysis revealed six major peaks, with myo-inositol identified as the dominant compound. The extract exhibited weak antioxidant activity, with an IC₅₀ value of 174.9 ppm. However, significant antifungal activity was observed, particularly against M. furfur and T. rubrum, with the most effective inhibitory concentrations at 12% and 15%, respectively. Despite its modest antioxidant effect, C. alata leaf extract demonstrates promising antifungal potential, especially against common fungal pathogens associated with skin infections. These findings support the traditional use of C. alata and highlight its potential as a natural antifungal agent.

Abstract

Genetic-based management is a critical approach to maintain the sustainability of mahseer fish (Tor tambra and T. tambroides), which are facing threats from habitat degradation and overfishing in Jambi Province. This study aims to analyze the genetic diversity and population structure of mahseer using the COI gene markers. A total of 18 specimens were collected from six locations in the Jambi rivers (June-August 2024). DNA sequencing results showed 98.51–99.85% similarity to the references T. tambra and T. tambroides in GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the grouping of this species, with a bootstrap value of 100% and closeness to the species Barbonymus gonionotus and Hampala macrolepidota. There were 11 haplotypes with the highest diversity at stations 3 and 6 (Hd= 0.90000), while moderate genetic differentiation (Fst= 0.109–0.141) was found between station 2 and other locations, indicating isolation due to habitat fragmentation. Water quality parameters (dissolved oxygen 6.3–7.1 mg/L, pH 7.0–7.3, current velocity 0.2–0.4 m/s) support habitat suitability, but anthropogenic activities potentially threaten genetic connectivity. These findings underscore the need for genetic data-driven conservation strategies, such as restocking of highly diverse populations and protection of critical habitats. Further research is needed to monitor long-term genetic dynamics.
