Abstract

Exposure to environmental waste such as landfill leachate has the potential to cause genotoxic effects and oxidative stress impacting the mammalian reproductive system. This study examined the effects of Sarimukti Landfill Leachate (LTS) on sperm DNA damage and testicular oxidative stress in male Wistar rats. Rats were exposed to LTS at concentrations of 0%, 35%, and 63% during distinct spermatogenesis stages: mitosis (MTS), meiosis (MSS), and spermiogenesis (SMGS). Sperm DNA damage was assessed using the Sperm Chromatin Dispersion (SCD) assay, while testicular oxidative stress was measured by quantifying Malondialdehyde (MDA) and total protein levels. The results showed dose-dependent sperm DNA damage across all spermatogenesis stages, with the most significant damage observed at the 63% LTS dose. Sperm DNA damage levels were highest in the MTS group (93.53%), followed by MSS (87.5%) and SMGS (86.8%). The 63% LTS dose also increased testicular lipid peroxidation, as indicated by elevated MDA levels (4.63 µM/mL). This suggests that LTS can damage lipid components in testicular tissue. Additionally, the 63% LTS dose reduced total protein levels in testicular tissue to 63.55 µg/mL, compared to 108.31 µg/mL in the control group. Heavy metals (arsenic, plumbum, nickel, chromium) and organic pollutants in LTS generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) in germ cells, disrupting cellular repair mechanisms also inducing lipid and protein oxidation. This oxidative stress further exacerbated sperm chromatin fragmentation. These findings highlight the reproductive toxicity of landfill leachate and emphasize the need for protective measures during early spermatogenesis stages. This study provides insights into the environmental impacts on male fertility and underscores the risks of genotoxic exposure.

Abstract

Tum is a traditional Balinese Indonesian dish made from various parts of the stone banana tree, including the stone banana root bulb (bungkil), stone banana flower (pusuh), and stone banana fruit (biu batu). However, when tum is made by hand without gloves, there is a risk of contamination with Staphylococcus aureus. Although the steaming process may reduce some bacteria, contamination can still occur. S. aureus can survive in ready-to-eat foods prepared under poor hygiene conditions. The toxins produced by S. aureus can lead to skin infections, respiratory problems, and sepsis. This study aims to investigate the presence of S. aureus in processed tum. Purposive sampling was conducted in two districts that sell tum bungkil, pusuh, and biu batu. Six samples were tested using mannitol salt agar (MSA) which is specific media from a dilution level of 10-3. Identification is conducted based on morphology, gram staining and total plate count (TPC) results. The results indicated that the highest level of contamination was found in sample 3 (S3) were 1.7x102CFU/g, which contained tum pusuh. This study implies that it is essential to improve hygiene practices during the preparation of tum pusuh to minimize the risk of contamination.

Abstract

The availability and sustainability of the algae-based biodiesel industry depend on the adequate selection of microalgae strains. Based on this, it is important to explore local microalgae from Indonesia as a feedstock for biodiesel. This study aimed to isolate and screen freshwater microalgae with lipid-producing abilities. A total of three microalgal isolates have been successfully isolated from the Cengklik Reservoir (-7.506712, 110.723582). Based on the cell morphology, the three isolates were identified as Chlorella sp., Scenedesmus sp., and Oscillatoria sp. Nile red staining indicated that the three microalgal isolates contained neutral lipid droplets in their cells, as shown by the presence of a yellow or orange luminescence under a fluorescence microscope. The results of this study indicated that Scenedesmus sp. and Oscillatoria sp. had more potential as feedstocks for biofuels due to their higher lipid content and productivity. This research succeeded in obtaining microalgae isolates from Cengklik reservoir, Boyolali, Central Java which can be used as a source of lipids for biodiesel.

Abstract

Variety development in ornamental plants increased rapidly due to the high demand during the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, analyzing the genetic diversity of ornamental plants is essential to assist breeders in improving and developing new cultivars with desirable traits. In this study, the genetic diversity of Philodendron species was analyzed. P. erubescens, P. 69686, P. burle-marx, P. lacerum, and P. micans were selected as the most popular species cultivated in Indonesian nurseries. These cultivars were assessed both genetically using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers and morphologically. The genetic relationship among Philodendron spp. species was analyzed using DARwin 6.0 software, and a dendrogram was constructed based on the UPGMA algorithm. Based on the two selected RAPD primers, the five samples showed no clear genetic relatedness to each other, and the primers were insufficient to construct a single consensus dendrogram.

Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common during pregnancy and may lead to serious complications for both mother and foetus. Anatomical and hormonal changes throughout gestation, particularly bladder compression and urinary stasis, create favourable conditions for bacterial colonisation and subsequent infection. Escherichia coli and other Enterobacteriaceae are the predominant pathogens, and urine culture remains the definitive diagnostic method, with a threshold of ≥10⁵ CFU/mL indicating infection. The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence and distribution of bacterial colony counts and the presence of Enterobacteriaceae in pregnant women across all trimesters, as well as to assess the relationship between gestational age, bacterial load, and the incidence of UTIs. This observational cross-sectional study involved 46 pregnant women at various gestational stages. Midstream random urine samples were collected and subjected to microbiological culture. The number of colony-forming units per millilitre (CFU/mL) and the species of bacteria isolated were recorded and analysed descriptively. UTIs was identified in 9 out of 46 participants (19.6%), characterised by bacterial counts ≥10⁵ CFU/mL. The trimester-specific prevalence showed that 11% of cases occurred in the first trimester, 33% in the second trimester, and 56% in the third trimester. The most frequently isolated pathogens were Escherichia coli (80%), Staphylococcus spp. (75%), Enterococcus spp. (25%), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (20%). UTIs were more prevalent in the later stages of pregnancy, with the third trimester showing the highest incidence. E. coli remained the leading uropathogen. These findings underscore the importance of early screening through urine culture to prevent adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, particularly during the third trimester.

Abstract

Tyrosinase is a critical enzyme in melanin synthesis, where its overactivity can result in hyperpigmentation disorders. Despite the availability of synthetic tyrosinase inhibitors, concerns about safety have prompted the search for natural alternatives. The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential of Kepok banana (Musa acuminata x balbisiana) corm extract as a natural tyrosinase inhibitor, using in vitro and in silico approaches. The extract was prepared by maceration with etanol 96%, followed by sonication and lyophilization. LC-MS analysis was performed on a Shimadzu LCMS 8040 using a Shim Pack FC ODS column with 90% methanol as the mobile phase under isocratic conditions. Samples were ionized via ESI in positive mode and scanned over m/z 10–1000. Peaks were identified based on their m/z values and MS/MS fragmentation patterns. In vitro and in silico analyses were applied, respectively, to study the biological process of kepok banana corm extract as a natural tyrosinase inhibitor. The result of the kepok banana corm extraction process was 12.5% dry powder with bioactive components identified via LC-MS, including flavonoids, phenolics, and terpenoids. The kepok banana corm ethanol extract exhibited strong tyrosinase inhibition with an IC₅₀ of 91.074 µg/mL, falling below the 100 µg/mL threshold for strong inhibitors and showing a similar inhibition pattern to the standard kojic acid (IC₅₀ = 10.87 µg/mL). Molecular docking revealed that major compounds, particularly flavonoids, exhibited high binding affinity with the tyrosinase enzyme through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, similar to kojic acid, a known inhibitor. These findings suggest that kepok banana corm extract may serve as a promising natural tyrosinase inhibitor, with potential applications in hyperpigmentation treatment and cosmetic formulations.

Abstract

Plastic is the material most widely used by humans in life and commercial activities. The plastic waste used will ultimately be disposed of into the aquatic environment. Floating particles of plastic waste accumulate in pelagic habitats and form large waste patches. Meanwhile, non-floating debris degrades in the water column and in sediment, forming microplastics. Microplastics are small plastic waste measuring <5 mm. One type of microplastic that has an adverse impact on the life of organisms in waters is polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The aim of this research is to determine the effect of polyvinyl chloride microplastic exposed on haematological of tilapia, so it is hoped that a solution will emerge that can deal with this microplastic problem. This study was conducted in a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of four treatments with three replications. The treatments were as follows: MP0 = No addition of microplastics (control); MP1 = Addition of 5 mg/L microplastics; MP2 = Addition of 15 mg/L microplastics; MP3 = Addition of 20 mg/L microplastics. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, with results expressed as mean ± standard error, and differences between control and treatments assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Duncan’s multiple range test at a significance level of P<0.05. The conclusion is exposure to polyvinyl chloride microplastics on the haematological of tilapia through water made a real difference to erythrocytes, leukocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, hematocrit, haemoglobin, and glucose.

Abstract

The Tagur Tinggi Waterfall region is characterized by its verdant and expansive landscape, featuring diverse flora such as trees and grass. This region is optimal for arboreal insects as a habitat. Arboreal insects, which are abundant and readily seen, inhabit the upper branches of trees and travel between trees to facilitate pollination. The abundance of arboreal insects serves as a reliable measure of the overall well-being of an ecosystem. The present study aims to identify the various species of insects that inhabit the trees in the Tagur Tinggi region and calculate the diversity, evenness, and dominance measures for these arboreal insects. This study used the transect approach, wherein samples are gathered bi-daily in the morning and evening. There were a total of 44 bug species belonging to 19 different families and 8 distinct orders. The arboreal insect diversity index (H') was measured to be 3.24 in the morning and 3.14 in the afternoon. Arboreal insects have an evenness index (E) of 0.91 during the morning and 0.87 during the afternoon. Additionally, they have a dominance index (D) of 0.044 in the morning and 0.056 in the afternoon. According to the health index values obtained, it can be inferred that the Tagur Tinggi Waterfall area in Lempake Samarida Village is highly conducive to the survival of arboreal insects. This is due to the well-preserved habitat and abundant vegetation structure that supports the life of arboreal insects.

Abstract

The larvae of Alphitobius diaperinus (lesser mealworms) are often regarded as pests in livestock farms; however, they possess significant potential as waste biodegraders due to their chewing mouthparts, strong jaws, and symbiotic microbes in their digestive tracts. This study investigates their ability to biodegrade potato peel waste. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed with three treatment groups: P0 (50 grams of pollard), P1 (50 grams of pollard plus 35 grams of fresh potato peel waste), and P2 (50 grams of pollard plus 5 grams of dried potato peel waste). Third instar larvae were selected based on uniform size, color, and weight. The experiment was conducted over 10 weeks, with weekly monitoring of larval development. The results indicated that A. diaperinus larvae effectively biodegraded potato peel waste, with the highest waste reduction and Waste Reduction Index (WRI) observed in the P1 group. Quantitative data showed that the WRI for P1 (8.87%) was significantly higher than that of P2 (2.94%). Biomass production was analyzed using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test, revealing significant differences between groups P0 and P1, while no significant differences were found between P0 and P2 or between P1 and P2. In conclusion, A. diaperinus larvae demonstrate considerable potential as biodegraders of potato peel waste. Moreover, the combination of potato peel and pollard as a rearing substrate positively influences larval biomass production.
