Abstract

The bioremediation system can be improved by using specific bacterial potential as oil-degrading bacteria which microorganisms can use hydrocarbons as a carbon source for their metabolic processes. The aim of this study is to identify R. erythropolis on degradation oil contamination and to obtain indigenous bacteria as new agent bacteria on bioremediation of oil contamination. The polluted water samples from used oil were taken from PPN Prigi, Trenggalek, East Java, Indonesia. The parameters considered were the detection and characterization of indigenous bacteria that degraded used oil. The density of bacteria was analyzed in the interval time of days 0, 2, 4, 6 and 7 and TPH was analyzed at final incubation. The results of this study indicate that the effectiveness of reducing oil concentration was used in testing the potential of bacteria from the highest was Pseudomonas aeruginosa which as indigenous bacteria isolated from water contaminated sites with application cell rate 1×108 cells/ml. It reduced of oil concentration up to 53%, and 1×106 cells/ml reduced oil concentration up to 47%. While, R. erythropolis with application cell rate 1×108 cells/ml reduced 47%. This result was found that Pseudomonas aeruginosa was effectively removed of oil concentration.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the density of seagrass species, seagrass biomass, and threats faced by seagrass communities in the Coastal District of Lamongan. The study was conducted in August to November 2019 in three coastal villages of Lamongan Regency, namely Tunggul Village (Station 1), Kranji (Station 2), and Banjarwati (Station 3). The stages of the study consisted of: preparation, data collection on density, threat data and seagrass stand samples, sample processing, and data analysis. The results showed that the total density of seagrass species at Stations 1, 2 and 3 was 160 stands / m2; 172 stands / m2; and 185 stands / m2. Furthermore, the total biomass of seagrass at Stations 1, 2 and 3 was 4633 gbk / m2, 2136 gbk / m2, and 9234 gbk / m2. In addition to seagrass species, seagrass density values also affect seagrass biomass. As development progresses in Lamongan Regency, it is known that the biggest threat of seagrass communities in the study site is human activity (anthropogenic), among others: anchor ships when anchored and the use of coastal areas as tourist areas, which often cleans up seagrass communities because they are deemed unfit to be enjoyed tourism sector.

Abstract

Uceng fish (Nemacheilus fasciatus) is a fish that lives wild on the river. All this time, the people have only relied on fishing from nature to consume, but the high market demand for fish will increase river fishing activities in excess. One of the steps to suppress the decline in fish populations is domestication because currently, the fish is not yet cultivated. The domestication process by feeding worms containing amino acids and fatty acids accelerates broodstock candidates' gonadal development. This research aims to determine the type of worms suitable as feed for the growth and gonadal development of broodstock candidates. The method that used in this research is Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 3 repetitions. Based on the analysis of amino acids and fatty acids in each type of worm, the best results were obtained on Lumbricus rubellus with an amino acid content of 50.91 gr/100gr and fatty acid 292.27%.

Abstract

Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) is a type of rhizome plant that has high potential to be developed in Indonesia as a medicinal plant or spice. Inhibiting factors in ginger production is Ralstonia solanacearum which causes bacterial wilt disease. Rhizobacteria is a potential biological agent to control the disease. It is necessary to review from various study on rhizobacteria both the use of antagonistic bacteria singly or in a consortia. Aimed to analyze various sources of scientific literature regarding the potential of antagonistic bacteria singly or consortia compared to synthetic bactericides in controlling of R. solanacearum. The results showed that three recommended antagonist bacteria were found, namely Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus thuringiensis. which has the potential to control bacterial wilt disease. The rhizobacterial consortia are more effective as a sustainable, safe and environmentally friendly control on bacterial wilt disease with a percentage of disease incidence 10%. In addition, the rhizobacterial consortia are three and six times more effective than the single antagonistic bacteria and bactericides respectively.

Abstract

Parkinson's disease characterized by a decrease in motor activity is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. Centella asiatica is suspected of having a neuroprotectant effect and is not yet known how Centella asiatica role in the prevention of Parkinson's disease. The study was conducted to prove the effect of Centella asiatica extract on the expression of Hsp60 and locomotor activity zebrafish models of Parkinson's with rotenone exposure. The study was conducted using 25 zebrafish divided into various groups. Centella asiatica extract and rotenone exposure have given for 28 days, observed locomotor activity on days 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28. The expression of Hsp60 measured using immunohistochemical techniques. There is a significant difference between locomotor activity at various doses of Centella asiatica (p<0.05) with a very strong correlation (r=0.929; p<0.01) where the higher doses of Centella asiatica, the higher locomotor activity. Found a significant difference between the reduced expression of Hsp60 to various Centella asiatica dose group (p<0.05) but no correlation between the expression of Hsp60 with Centella asiatica dose groups and locomotor activity. Centella asiatica extract is able to increase locomotor activity and decrease the expression of Hsp60 in zebrafish models of Parkinson's.
