Abstract

World Health Organization (WHO) noted that Indonesia was the country with the highest cases of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in Southeast Asia. Control efforts include vector observation and monitoring, one of which is larvicides. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Apu-apu (Pistia stratiotes) leaf extract to inhibit the growth of the third instar larvae of the Aedes aegypti. The design of this study was Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The treatment in this study was repeated 3 times using 4 treatments (negative control treatment, given extract of 10 ml, 30 ml, 50 ml). The results showed that Apu-apu leaf extract had different effects on each test concentration (10ml, 30ml and 50ml). The higher the concentration, the greater mortality of Aedes aegypti larvae. ANOVA test showed that Apu-apu leaf extract (Pistia stratiotes) had an effect with the F=94.667, p= 0,000 on larvae mortality. The ability of Apu-apu leaf extract to kill larvae in LC50 value was 4.0% per minute, analyzed using probit regression. P. stratiotes could be an effective larvicide against A. aegypti third instar larvae (p=0,000).

Abstract

Birds are the important components of the food chain. Birds are vertebrate warm-blooded animals. Birds are ideal bio-indicators and useful models for studying a variety of environmental problems. As increasingly more attention is now being given to ecological studies, the methods employed in field ornithology warrant a closer examination. While in the developed world there has been extensive research on the standardization of bird-count techniques. Population density is the size of a population in relation to a definite unit of space. It is generally expressed as the number of individuals or the populations’ biomass per unit area or volume in Campus of Rani Anna Government College, Tirunelveli India. There are a wide variety of field and statistical techniques for assessing animal abundance, which include complete counts, partial counts, and capture methods. The present study reports for 20 different bird species from 11 orders and 20 families were sighted from the selected sites in the hostel, ground and garden area in the college campus.

Abstract

The German cockroach is a common pest worldwide that has developed insecticide resistance. Eco-enzyme with an aromatic aroma is one alternative way to prevent insecticide resistance development and repel the German cockroach population. This study aims to determine the value and level of repellency of orange peels' eco-enzyme. The method of this study is a Repellency test of four concentrations of eco-enzyme to the reared resistant German cockroach. The repellency level of eco-enzyme at low concentrations (10%) to high concentrations (100%) ranges from high repellent to very high repellent at one hour of observation. The repellency decreases until 48 hours of observation and ranges from medium to high repellent. Eco-enzyme solutions that are eco-friendly, simple to make, and low in toxicity to humans can use as an alternative to synthetic repellents.

Abstract

This research is focused on analyzing the quality of eco-enzymes based on differences in plant tissue on organic matter in the manufacture of eco-enzymes. The purpose of this study was to compare the quality of eco-enzymes made from pineapple peel (dominated by epidermal tissue) and pineapple flesh (dominated by parenchyma tissue). This research method is an experimental method with 3 repetitions. This research was conducted from June 3, 2021, to July 3, 2021. Pineapple peel and pineapple flesh each with a ratio of 3 parts (as organic matter) were mixed with 1 part molasses and 10 parts clean water, then fermented for 1 month. Samples of eco-enzymes from pineapple peel and pineapple flesh were analyzed to compare the research parameters in the form of color, organic conditions, the position of organic matter, aroma, presence of pitera mushrooms, and pH. The results showed that the eco-enzyme gave rise to different parameters but both had good quality. However, in this study the eco-enzyme that had better quality was the eco-enzyme derived from pineapple flesh (dominated by parenchyma tissue). So, it can be said that the eco-enzyme produced from tissue dominated by parenchyma tissue has better quality than that which is dominated by epidermal tissue.

Abstract

When migrating to the deep sea, the eye of the eel which functions for locomotion will adapt to the deep environment. This study is the first study to identify the locomotion index and the retinal structure at the stage glass eel, elver, yellow, and silver eel Anguilla bicolor bicolor. Character and habitat information for each stage of eel can be used as a conservation strategy. Seventeen eel fish samples were collected from the Pasir Puncu River in Purworejo. Observation of the Locomotion Index is done by comparing the Eye Index (EI), Pectoral Fin Index (PFI), Anal Fin Index (AFI), and Dorsal Fin Index (DFI) at several stages of development of eel, while histologically the observations were carried out with analyzing the retina structure and the thickness of Rod and Cone Layer (RCL), Outer Nuclear Layer (ONL), Inner Nuclear Layer (INL), Ganglion Layer (GL) and Nerve Fiber Layer (NFL). Based on these observations it can be seen that the retina (RC, ONL, INL, GL, NFL) will have increased from yellow to the silver stage, this is due to adaptation eels that adapt to new habitats. The locomotion index shows that the more developed the pectoral fins, the greater the thickness of the NFL, which indicates the greater the number of nerves used for adaptation in the ocean. In the early elver stage, eels tend to swim on the surface of the water in brackish waters. At the yellow eel stage, the eels have started swimming on the bottom of the water that is rich in the substrate with darker environmental characteristics, while at the silver stage, the eel will begin to adjust to the darker deep sea.

Abstract

Ammonia is one of the hazardous compounds, which is contained in the liquid waste of rubber factories. Ammonia waste can cause various kinds of pollution, one of which is water pollution. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the agung semeru banana peel extract as additional nutrition for indigenous bacteria in reducing ammonia levels. This research was conducted in the Biology laboratory, PGRI Argopuro University, Jember. This study uses a simple bioreactor as a tool to determine the decrease in ammonia levels in various treatments. The treatment in this study was using different concentrations of different banana peel extracts (0%, 5%, 10%). Based on the analysis of research data, it showed that Agung Semeru banana peel extract as an additional nutrient for indigenous bacteria was effective in reducing ammonia levels. At 10% banana peel extract concentration, the lowest ammonia level was in the range of 0.25-0.5 compared to the control concentration, namely 2. The higher the concentration of banana peel extract given, the lower the ammonia content in rubber waste.

Abstract

The sente variegata plant (Alocasia macrorrhiza variegata) is a species of ornamental taro. The unique leaf color of sente variegata, which is a combination of white and green, attracts ornamental plant lovers for hunting or collecting. There has been no cultivation effort from the ornamental plant suppliers and traders for multiplication purposes until now. Sente variegata is obtained directly from the forest. This activity can cause extinction. Micropropagation efforts using plant tissue culture techniques are needed for commercial and sustainability issues. This study aimed to determine the effect of 6-Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP) and kinetin on the root formation and growth as one step in the shoot multiplication of sente variegata bulb explants. Variations in BAP and kinetin concentrations used separately in this study were 0, 2, 5, and 10 mg. L-1. The results showed that the application of BAP and Kinetin significantly affected the root growth of sente Variegata. Finally, kinetin 10 mg L-1 is the concentration and type of cytokinins recommended for the formation and root growth of sente variegate.

Abstract

The Study of Collembola Diversity in Peatland and Its Role as an Environmental Bioindicator is an exploratory study of the biological diversity in peatland areas. Collembola is a group of insects that have the potential as environmental bioindicators. The research objective was to determine the value of collembola diversity on peatlands. Collembola sampling was carried out by making Pitfall traps and Modified Barlles Funnels. Collembola samples obtained from peatlands were identified and analyzed for index diversity (H'), uniformity (E), and dominance (C) using the Shannon-Wiener formula. The identification results obtained for Collembola were 52 individuals from seven genera at two different locations including Seira sp, Folsomia sp, Lepidoneilla sp, Willowsia sp, Ceratrimeria sp, Paranula sp, and Dicyrtomina sp. Collembola diversity analysis obtained the diversity index (H': 1.75 and H': 1.18) in the moderate category. The uniformity index (E: 0.98 and E: 0.66) is in the high category. While the dominance index (C: 0.20 and C: 0.40) is in a low category. It can be interpreted that peatlands are still in good condition to support the life of other organisms.

Abstract

Bacterium is a cosmopolitan microbe. It can be live everywhere and anywhere. They only need a simple nutrition from environment. Some of them also do a symbiosis for completing the nutrients. Lysurus periphragmoides was found in Arboretum in IPB University. The mushroom has a special structure for the head part of the fruiting body. On the head, the slimy spore mass was covering the part. The slimy was wet, sticky, and stinky. From the slime, bacterium was isolated using Luria Bertani Agar medium and incubated for 35C. Bacterium coded as Lyz222 was successfully isolated from the slimy spore mass. The colony looks like the Lactic Acid Bacteria with the specific odor smelled as milk odor. The colony was circular shape, milky white, concave surface, and mucoid density. The cell was coccus and as Gram-positive bacterium. Molecular identification was done for 16S rRNA. Then, the phylogenetic was constructed using RAxML analysis in CIPRES website. The bacterium strain Lyz222 was identified as Pediococcus acidilactici. The bacterial presence on the head part with slimy spore mass is because the insect or other animal that have touched the L. periphragmoides part. The animal or insect was harboring the bacterium from other source previously, before attaching the L. periphragmoides slimy spore mass. The Pediococcus was commonly found on the milk product, or recently report as on the fruits and vegetables. The result of this study is the first report that Pediococcus as P. acidilactici was found on the slimy spore mass.
