Abstract

The duckweed plant group belongs to the botanical family Araceae and has the potential as a food source. It is difficult to classify and the plants were originally grouped as the Lemnaceae family. However, current molecular taxonomy studies revealed the integration of Lemnaceae into the Araceae family, thus becoming the Lemnoideae subfamily. It is necessary to strengthen the position of Lemnoideae in Araceae using molecular marker psbA from chloroplast DNA This study aimed to determine the role of the psbA chloroplast DNA marker in regulating the position of Lemnoideae. A total of 41 sequences of the psbA gene taken from the species from seven subfamilies in Araceae and one outgroup were collected from the NCBI GenBank and then arranged in FASTA format. Sequence data was then aligned by ClustalX, and phylogenetic trees were reconstructed using PAUP and MEGA. From the resulting phylogenetic trees, it can be conferred that the Lemnoideae subfamily does not form a monophyletic group. Thereby, this in silico study using psbA markers concludes the position ofthe Lemnoideae subfamily in the family Araceae and we recommend not separating the plant group from the family Araceae.

Abstract

Amylosucrase is a transglucosylase enzyme that utilizes sucrose as a substrate to produce α-1,4 glucan (amylose-like polymer). Modification of starch with Amylosucrase can increase the degree of polymerization, degree of crystallinity, heat stability, and increase the proportion of slow digestible starch (SDS) and resistant starch (RS). Thus, Amylosucrase (ASase) modified starch has enormous potential to be developed in the food industry because the consumption of ASase modified starch can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood glucose response, making it suitable for consumption by people with Diabetes Mellitus. In addition, consumption of ASase-modified starch also has the potential to prevent obesity and improve blood lipid profile.

Abstract

Kakao merupakan tanaman perkebunan yang mempunyai peran cukup penting dalam perekonomian nasional. Salah satu kendala pada budidaya kakao adalah kehadiran organisme pengganggu tanaman, yaitu kepik penghisap buah kakao (Helopeltis sp.). Pemakaian insektisida kimia secara berlebihan dapat menimbulkan dampak negatif sehingga diperlukan insektisida alternatif yang ramah lingkungan. Ekoenzim kulit pisang kepok manado muda memiliki kandungan bahan aktif yang berpotensi dijadikan insektisida nabati. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui konsentrasi ekoenzim kulit pisang kepok manado muda yang efektif dalam mematikan hama penghisap buah kakao. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) faktorial 2 faktor perlakuan dan 3 ulangan. Faktor pertama adalah konsentrasi ekoenzim (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, dan 20%). Faktor kedua adalah waktu pengamatan (6, 12, 24, 48, dan 72 jam). Data hasil pengamatan dianalisis menggunakan ANOVA dengan uji lanjut Tukey dan nilai LC50 dianalisis menggunakan probit. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ekoenzim kulit pisang kepok manado muda berpotensi sebagai insektisida nabati terhadap hama penghisap buah kakao dengan konsentrasi paling efektif adalah 20%.

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

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

Seed priming is a technique to enhance seed germination. Biopriming, a specific method, involves soaking seeds in biological agents such as Spirulina platensis, a microalga that can thrive in agricultural waste including Sugar Mill Effluent (SME). Spirulina sp. contains various beneficial growth hormones, making it a potential seed priming agent. This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of tomato seed priming using Spirulina platensis grown on SME. The research was conducted from May to August 2024 at the Seed Technology Laboratory, Politeknik Negeri Jember. The research method used a factorial Completely Randomized Design which included Spirulina platensis biomass concentrations (0, 30, 45, and 60%) and soaking durations (1, 2, and 3 hours). Analysis of variance using the Bonferroni post-hoc test at a 5% level using GraphPad Prism version 5.01. The results showed that seed priming with S. platensis positively influenced several physiological parameters, including mean germination time, vigor index, seed growth rate, and shoot length. These findings demonstrated that SME-grown S. platensis cells capable of improving the physiological quality of tomato seeds, making it one of the environmentally friendly seed invigorating techniques.
