Abstract

Electrogenic microbes have been exploited in the microbial fuel cell (MFC) system for harvesting bioelectricity. Electrogens are widely distributed in various environments, but the exploration of this microbial group from ecosystems in Indonesia is still limited. This present study aimed to isolate the electrogenic bacteria from sediments of two waterlogged ecosystems (dam and paddy field) using serial dilution into extinction method prior to streak plate method on the solid thioglycollate media supplemented with Fe3+. Electrochemical evaluation was conducted in glucose-fed dual-chamber MFC by using Arduino UNO-based data logger for the accurate monitoring of electricity production in the term of open circuit voltage (OCV). A total of 54 electrogens were successfully isolated from these two ecosystems, ranging from weakness to strongest electrogens (OCV >800 mV) and ranging from microaerophilic, aerotolerant and facultative anaerobes, to obligate anaerobes. This result also suggested that sediment of waterlogged ecosystems rich in electron donor and solid acceptor electron compounds could potentially host electrogenic microbes. The exploration of electrogens from many other waterlogged ecosystems in Indonesia, both natural and anthropic ecosystems, could be conducted to collect genetic resources of novel electrogenic bacteria for the development of MFC technology in Indonesia.

Abstract

Fresh waters in Indonesia are strongly broad and play a role for aquaculture as well as human activities, thus impacting water quality and river ecosystems. Periphyton acts as a natural food source. This study aimed to determine the abundance of periphyton species as natural food for fish in the Banjaran River, and the quality of river water. Survey method and purposive sampling were used and conducted at four stations. This research was conducted in situ and ex situ and the test results were analyzed descriptively quantitatively. The percentage of periphyton abundance the Banjaran River is 28% from the class Bacillariophyceae (25 species), 21% Chlorophyceae (9 species), 21% Cyanophyceae (3 species), 16% Eugelenophyceae (2 species), and 16% Rhizopoda class (1 species). The abundance of periphyton at each station was 3,275–5,574 individuals/cm² with species abundance values of 26–22,904 individuals/cm², while the percentage values for the abundance of each class were Bacillariophycae (82%), Chlorophyceae (9%), Eugelenophyceae (6%), Cyanophyceae (2%), and Rhizopoda (1%). The water quality that greatly influences the value of periphyton abundance is TDS (Total Dissolved Solid). The influence of TDS content on the abundance of periphyton was 0.8 and the influence was negative.

Abstract

Saat ini kendala utama dalam budidaya kakao yaitu terkait penyakit busuk buah kakao yang disebabkan oleh jamur patogen Phytophthora palmivora masih belum terselesaikan. Hal ini disebabkan kondisi perkebunan kakao yang lembab menyebabkan patogen lebih cepat berkembang dan meluas dalam waktu singkat. Hal tersebut ditambah dengan seresah kulit buah kakao yang menjadi sumber inoculum penyebaran patogen. Sejauh ini petani melakukan pengendalian dengan bantuan fungisida kimia sintetik yang mahal dan tidak ramah lingkungan. Alternatif pengendalian yang murah dan ramah lingkungan yaitu dengan memanfaatkan jamur saprofit isolat lokal dari kulit buah kakao yang dapat berperan sebagai agens hayati. Penelitian dilakukan pengujian interaksi dan dominasi sesama jamur saprofit. Tujuannya adalah untuk mengetahui kemampuan berkompetisi dan hubungan antara jamur saprofit satu dengan jamur saprofit lainnya. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian bahwa jamur saprofit diduga memiliki hubungan interaksi kompetisi, mikoparasit dan antibiosis. Sedangkan hasil dominasi terendah hingga tertinggi yaitu Trichoderma sp. 3, Aspergillus sp., Trichoderma sp. 2, Trichoderma sp. 1, Rhizopus sp., Fusidium sp., Penicillium sp., dan Candida sp. Jamur saprofit dari seresah kulit buah kakao memiliki potensi dalam mengendalikan Phytophthora palmivora.

Abstract

Hematoxylin-eosin is widely utilized in the field of animal microtechniques. However, the need to develop alternative dyes from natural sources such as plants has gained attention. Several studies have shown that many plants contain secondary metabolites with the potential to be developed as natural dyes. Lonchocarpus cyanescens and Syzygium cumini are promising candidates as alternative dyes for hematoxylin, while Lawsonia inermis and Hibiscus sabdariffa have shown potential as substitute dyes for eosin. These plants contain various secondary metabolites, including anthocyanins, flavonoids, chlorophyll, betalains, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, carbohydrates, proteins, phenolics, terpenoids, quinones, coumarins, xanthones, and resins. L. cyanescens exhibits a strong binding affinity to cells and tissues, particularly testicular tissue. Dyes derived from Syzygium cumini have been shown to provide a good staining result for rat liver cells. In contrast, dyes from Lawsonia inermis can stain cytoplasmic components and muscle fibers. Additionally, the dye from Hibiscus sabdariffa is capable of staining various biological components, including sperm, nerve cells, and blood cells. The dye preparation process involved extraction from different plant organs, such as leaves, flowers, and fruit. These findings suggest that secondary metabolites from these four plants hold significant potential for development as natural dyes to replace hematoxylin-eosin in histological applications.

Abstract

Sungai memegang peranan penting dalam menopang kehidupan,namun, kesehatan ekologisnya semakin terancam oleh polusi, yang menyebabkan penurunan kualitas air. Di Kabupaten Sukoharjo, Indonesia, sungai yang mengalir melalui Wilayah Jatimalang telah teridentifikasi tercemar secara signifikan, ditandai dengan air yang terus-menerus keruh. Kekeruhan ini kemungkinan besar disebabkan oleh pembuangan limbah antropogenik dari masyarakat sekitar. Untuk menilai sejauh mana tingkat pencemaran ini, studi biomonitoring dilakukan dengan mengevaluasi keanekaragaman komunitas makroinvertebrata bentik. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di tiga stasiun pengambilan sampel, mengidentifikasi total 253 individu yang terdiri dari 12 spesies dari 11 famili. Indeks keanekaragaman Shannon-Wiener (H') yang dihitung untuk ketiga stasiun termasuk dalam kategori sedang (1<H′<3), dan Stasiun II menunjukkan keanekaragaman tertinggi, yaitu 1,526. Indeks dominansi (D) untuk semua stasiun secara konsisten rendah (0<D≤0,5). Analisis kelimpahan relatif mengungkapkan Sulcospira testudinaria sebagai spesies yang paling melimpah (24%), sedangkan Xylocopa pubescens, Pseudagrion microcephalum, dan Argiope aurantia adalah yang paling sedikit (0%). Temuan-temuan ini, khususnya keanekaragaman sedang dan dominansi rendah meskipun terdapat kekeruhan, membuktikan bahwa sungai di Wilayah Jatimalang mengalami gangguan ekologis yang signifikan dan tercemar.

Abstract

Capsicum frutescens var. Salo Dua is a local variety cultivated in Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi. It has unique traits of color transition during fruit ripening and extended post-harvest shelf life. However, the metabolite profiling in this potential variety has not been explored. This was an initial study that aimed to profile the volatile compounds in the root-shoot parts (as vegetative) and in the ripe fruits of Salo Dua variety. The instrument of Gas Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to separate and characterize the volatile compounds. Our study revealed a higher number of forty-two volatiles in the ripe fruits compared to the twenty-eight volatiles in the shoot-root parts. The five major compositions of the chemical class in ripe fruits were characterized by the formation of alcohols (26%) followed by esters (19%), alkaloids (10%), fatty acids (10%), and ketones (7%). While the abundant volatiles in the root-shoot parts were shown by the presence of esters (29%), alcohols (21%), fatty acids (18%), alkaloids (11%), and heterocyclic (7%). There were nineteen volatiles that only emitted in the ripe fruits. Of which, capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin were detected in the ripe fruits with an average relative area of 1% and 0.51%, subsequently.

Abstract

Porang (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume) is a tuber plant from the Araceae family that grows wild in Indonesian forests. Porang tubers have a high content of the active compound glucomannan, a low-calorie hydrocolloid dietary fiber with various health benefits. However, its potential in the pharmaceutical field has not been fully explored scientifically, so this scientific review aims to explore the potential of glucomannan and other bioactive compounds in porang in the pharmaceutical field based on literature studies, as well as the challenges of developing it as a leading commodity in Indonesia. In addition to glucomannan, porang also contains secondary metabolites such as alkaloid, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and steroids. Research studies show that porang can be used in the treatment of various diseases, such as diabetes (especially type-2 diabetes mellitus), obesity, hypertension, and has the potential as anti-cholesterol, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, prebiotic agent, anti-bacterial, and wound healing. The majority of applications that are still in preclinical in vivo trials on experimental animals and the presence of calcium oxalate as an irritant compound are the challenges of developing Porang as herbal medicine. Therefore, the use of porang as herbal medicine still requires further research regarding safe processing and clinically appropriate dosage. Keywords: cacao fruit-rot, Phytophthora palmivora, biological control, decomposer.
