Abstract

Hot water temperature can be a place for the development of thermophilic bacteria. Thermophilic bacteria produce thermostable enzymes which are needed in various industrial fields such as agriculture, food, detergent, pharmacology, and bioremediation agents. This study aims to isolate and characterize potential proteolytic and amylolytic bacteria from the Bayanan hot spring. Samples were collected from two distinct locations within the geothermal environment: the hot spring source itself and the associated water storage pools. The collected samples underwent a dilution and isolation process to obtain pure bacterial cultures. Subsequently, these isolates were inoculated onto selective media, including skim milk agar (SMA) and nutrient agar (NA), to assess their proteolytic and amylolytic activities, respectively. The presence and extent of these enzymatic activities were determined by measuring the diameter of the clear zone surrounding each bacterial colony. The analysis revealed the presence of eight proteolytic bacterial isolates and twenty amylolytic isolates. Notably, a hydrolysis index threshold of ≥2.5 was implemented to identify isolates with high potential for proteolytic and amylolytic activity. Based on this criterion, two proteolytic bacterial isolates (codes B2-12-C3 and B1-12-B3) exhibited a proteolytic index exceeding 2.5. Furthermore, eight amylolytic isolates displayed an index above 2.5 (codes B1-10-A1, B1-10-A3, B2-8-A1, B2-8-A2, B2-10-A1, B2-10-A2, B2-12-C1, and B2-12-C2). These isolates, particularly those with high hydrolysis index values, has potential as bioremediation agents due to their demonstrated ability to efficiently hydrolyze proteins and starches.

Abstract

The high diversity of tree species found in natural forests contributes to their ability to maintain ecological balance. Mount Baung Natural Tourism Park is the conservation area in Pasuruan Regency, East Java that functions to protect biodiversity. The research aims to identify tree species, analyze tree diversity, and determine tree dominance with the importance value index (IVI). The research was conducted from February to March 2023 in Mount Baung Natural Tourism Park utilization block (MBNTP UB), Pasuruan Regency, East Java, Indonesia. The observation location was determined to be 37 points and plots were made in the point with a size of 20 m × 20 m for the tree phase, 10 m × 10 m for pole phase, 5 m × 5 m for the sapling phase, and 2 m × 2 m for the seedling phase. Data collected from field observations were analyzed to determine the Shannon diversity index using PAST 4.01. Tree dominance was analyzed using IVI. The research showed that 14 species from 8 tree families are found in MBNTP UB. The Fabaceae family is found to be abundant compared to other families. The highest number of individuals found in the seedling phase is Cassia glauca. Swietenia macrophylla has the highest individual’s number in the sapling, pole, and tree phases. The highest tree diversity is found in the tree phase. Diversity at the tree phase is classified as moderate, while at the seedling, pole, and sapling phase the diversity is low.

Abstract

Approximately 80% of flowering plants are highly dependent on insect pollination, including the chili pepper (Capsicum frutescens). Environmental conditions serve as parameters for insects in their activities. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the diversity and abundance of flower-visiting insects in C. frutescens and their environmental factors. Field observations of flower-visiting insects were conducted during the dry season utilizing aerial capture methods. The data was analyzed using diversity, abundance, evenness, and dominance indices equations. Multiple linear regression analysis was also conducted to determine the abiotic and biotic factors (environmental factors) that influence the abundance of flower-visiting insects. The analysis results showed that a moderate trend in the diversity of insect and as many as 33% of the total recorded insect individuals belong to the Vespidae family. The Allorhynchium argentatum showed the highest species abundance (27% individuals). Based on the multiple regression analysis results, environmental factors had a non-significant native influence on the abundance of flower-visiting insects. Environmental conditions during the dry season have a weak influence on insect interactions with plants.

Abstract

Blueberry Vaccinium corymbosum L. is a fruit plant that has high economic value and many benefits. Blueberries in Indonesia are not yet in great demand so domestic needs are still met by imports. Conventional blueberry propagation is done using stem cuttings. The disadvantages of conventional propagation are that seedling growth is slow, requires a large source of planting material, and is ineffective. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the combination of BAP and IBA hormones on the induction of axillary shoots in effective in vitro propagation of blueberries. The explants used were axillary buds of blueberry, sterilized using fungicide, bactericide, bayclin, sodium hypochlorite and alcohol. The research design used a completely randomized design (CRD) with a combination of BAP and IBA hormones. The BAP hormone consists of three concentrations, namely 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mg/L. The IBA hormone consists of three concentrations, namely 0, 0.1, and 0.2 mg/L. Based on research results, the combination treatment of BAP and IBA succeeded in inducing shoots, but was not able to induce roots. The BAP 0.5 mg/L treatment showed the best results with a shoot emergence rate of 4.33 weeks, shoot height of 1.68 cm, number of shoots 1.67, and number of leaves 12.67. The findings of this study highlight the potential of BAP and IBA hormone combinations in accelerating blueberry shoot induction, offering an alternative propagation method that could support domestic production and reduce dependence on imports.

Abstract

Skin aging caused by UV radiation has become a growing concern among the Indonesian population. The effects of UV-induced skin aging can be mitigated by antioxidant compounds. Although synthetic antioxidants are commonly used to combat aging, their long-term use is discouraged due to potential systemic side effects and carcinogenic risks. Therefore, natural antioxidant compounds are needed as a safer alternative. Andrographis paniculata, known as Sambiloto, contains a natural antioxidant compound called andrographolide. This study aims to evaluate the potential of andrographolide by determining its binding affinity toward target protein receptors involved in the photoaging mechanism triggered by increased levels of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Through in silico analysis, the potential of andrographolide was assessed using reverse docking techniques with databases such as PubChem, PharmMapper, SwissTargetPrediction, SuperPred, and PASS Online. Subsequent molecular docking was performed using PyRx 0.8 and PyMol software. The in silico data revealed interactions between the ligand compound and its receptors, including binding activity and binding positions based on hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds, which were further analyzed. The results showed that andrographolide binds effectively to the IL-1, NF-κB, and IL-6 receptors with relatively low binding affinities of -7.5 (IL-1), -6.6 (NF-κB), and -6.5 (IL-6). Low binding affinity indicates stronger and more stable interactions between the ligand and receptor. Based on the results, andrographolide from A. paniculata exhibits promising potential as a candidate for anti-photoaging agents that can serve as an alternative to synthetic antioxidants.

Abstract

Pyrantel pamoate, known as an anthelmintic under the brand name Combantrin®, is effectively used to kill worms in the intestines. However, long-term use of it has been associated with side effects and risk of drug resistance. Syzygium cumini L.is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory which may support antiparasitic effects and tissue healing. This study aims to examine the effect of juwet (S. cumini L.) fruit water extract (JFWE) on the duodenum structure of mice suspected to be infected with worm, through histomorphometric analysis and histopathological examination. The pyrantel pamoate was only administered once after the acclimatization period, while the JFWE was administered for 3 weeks. A total of 30 male mice were divided into six groups: negative control (aquadest), positive control (pyrantel pamoate, Combantrin® 20 mg/mL), and JFWE at doses of 5 mg/mL, 10 mg/mL, 20 mg/mL, and 40 mg/mL, administered for 3 weeks. Histomorphometric and histopathological evaluations were conducted by microscopically observing the duodenum structures, including intestinal villi, and the thickness of the mucosa, submucosa, and muscularis layers. The results showed a significant difference for the decrease in intestinal villi height and thickness of the mucosa, submucosa, and muscularis layers in JWFE doses of 5 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL administration group, compared to the negative control group (aquadest), the treatment groups of pyrantel pamoate, and JFWE doses of 20 mg/mL and 40 mg/mL (p<0.05). The conclusion is that the administration of juwet fruit water extract doses of 20 mg/mL and 40 mg/mL can improve the histomorphometry structure and also the histopathology of the duodenum of male mice.

Abstract

Shallot (Allium cepa L.) is one of Indonesia's horticultural crops and represents as superior commodity. However, shallots are highly susceptible to drought and require sufficient water for growth. Biofertilizers contain various microbes that provide nutrients and increase the resistance of shallots to drought stress. This study aimed to determine the effect of biofertilizers on the growth rate, nitrate reductase activity, and productivity of shallot plants under drought stress. The research was conducted using a Factorial Completely Randomized Design with two factors. The first factor was the doses of biofertilizer with 0, 10, 15, and 20 L ha-1. The second factor was the drought stress with treatments of 25, 50, 75, and 100% field capacity. Parameters measured included plant height rate, leaf number rate, number of tillers, tuber wet weight, tuber dry weight, and nitrate reductase activity. Data were analyzed by ANOVA using SPSS followed Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% significance level. The results showed that biofertilizer application did no significantly different on the growth rate, but significantly affected the number of tillers, tuber weight, and nitrate reductase activity of shallots under drought stress. The optimum dose of 10 L ha-1 biofertilizer increased the number of tillers (9.33). The optimum dose of 20 L ha-1 biofertilizer increased the growth rate, tuber wet weight (4.46 g), tuber dry weight (0.63 g), and nitrate reductase activity (1.11 µmol NO2- g-1 leaf wet weight h-1 of incubation). It is concluded that biofertilizer application, particularly at 10–20 L ha-1, can improve shallot performance under drought stress and is recommended as a drought mitigation strategy in shallot cultivation.
