Abstract

Actinobacteria are gram-positive bacteria that can produce primary metabolites in the form of enzymes, one of which is the chitinase enzyme. Chitinase is an enzyme that has the ability to degrade chitin which is the main structure in the cell wall of plant pathogenic fungi. One of the Actinobacteria that have the ability to produce enzymes can be obtained from the soil of the PTPN VI Muaro Jambi oil palm plantation which can be used as a biocontrol agent for plant pathogenic fungi, namely Ganoderma boninense. The purpose of this study was to determine the magnitude of the activity of the chitinase enzyme Actinobacteria and to determine the magnitude of the inhibitory activity of the enzyme chitinase Actinobacteria against Ganoderma boninense. This research was conducted with a quantitative descriptive method. The results showed that one isolate of Actinobacteria (SP1) had enzyme activity (Crude Extract Enzyme (EEK) and concentrated chitinase enzyme). The activity of the chitinase enzyme was higher at 0.0296 U/mL compared to the EEK activity of 0.0288 U/mL. The inhibitory power using the concentrated chitinase enzyme also had a higher value, namely 57.3% compared to the inhibitory power using EEK, which was 56.6%.

Abstract

The declining water quality of the Opak River, due to the heavy metal chromium, may cause disturbances to the life of aquatic biota such as mollusks. The aim of this study was to determine the relation between the concentration of chromium in the air and sediment on the mollusk community structure in the downstream of Opak River. This research was conducted in April – July 2022, in the downstream of Opak River consisting of five sampling stations (Kalasan, Piyungan, Pleret, Imogiri, Pundong) with three replications based on sampling time. The samples analyzed included samples of river water, sediment and molluscs. Analysis of the total chromium content in the sample was carried out by heating preparation at 180oC for 6 hours, then extracted by destruction method using aqua regia solution. The concentration of chromium in the sample was determined using the AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer) method. Chromium contaminants were found in all types of samples. The highest concentration was in sediment (1,186 mg/L), followed by molluscs (0.682 mg/L) and the lowest was in water (0.124 mg/L). The types of mollusks in the downstream of Opak River are dominated by two mollusc species from the bivalves class and three mollusc species from the gastropod class with a total of 672 individuals. Corbicula javanica species became the most common mollusk with a total of 264 individuals and became the mollusk species with the highest chromium concentration of 0.914 mg/L. There was a significant relationship between the concentration of chromium in the air (p = 0.041<0.05), and sediment (p = 0.026<0.05) with the level of chromium accumulation in molluscs.

Abstract

The distribution of chromium originating from industrial waste disposal activities into the Opak River can pollute the flow of rice irrigation water which has an impact on food safety, especially rice. This study aims to determine the concentration of hexavalent chromium, the daily intake rate of age groups, and the effect of chromium on health risks. This research was conducted in Jetis District, Bantul, Yogyakarta with 3 sub-district locations: Canden Village, Trimulyo Village, and Sumber Agung Village. The research samples used were 60 rice samples from their own harvest using irrigation water from the Opak River using a random sampling method. Analysis of hexavalent chromium in rice was carried out with a preparation of 15 grams and analyzed using a HACH DR 2700 Spectrophotometer. The results showed that 100% of rice samples in Jetis District were contaminated with hexavalent chromium. The chromium concentration in the 3 villages ranged from 0.054-0.604 mg/kg with the highest mean value of 0.224 mg/kg found in Canden village. The pattern of chromium intake from rice consumption in 3 sub-districts ranged from 0-1909 µg/day with a mean value of 971 µg/day. The average value of chromium intake patterns in 3 sub-districts is far beyond the safe limit set by WHO of 320 µg/day. From the health risk calculations, the Risk Quotient values obtained for the subdistricts of Canden, Trimulyo, and Sumber Agung villages were respectively 3.00, 2.00, and 2.00. The RQ value in 3 sub-districts is above the safe limit set by WHO at RQ > 1. Based on the calculation of the risk of cancer, seen from the ECR value, the results obtained range from 1.E-01 – 2.E-01, this ECR value is far beyond the set safe limit. by WHO is 10-4.

Nilai RQ pada 3 kelurahan diatas batas aman yang ditetapkan oleh WHO sebesar RQ > 1. Berdasarkan perhitungan risiko terjadinya kanker, dilihat dari nilai ECR diperoleh hasil berkisar1,E-01 – 2,E-01, nilai ECR ini jauh melewati batas aman yang ditetapkan oleh WHO sebesar 10-4. Konsentrasi kromium, laju asupan harian, pola konsumsi, karakteristik responden berpengaruh terhadap risiko kesehatan. Kata kunci: Kromium Heksavalen, Beras, Analisa Risiko Kesehatan

Abstract

Livistona is one of the genera of palm plants with a wide distribution area, ecologically diverse and of horticultural, economic and ecological importance. The Livistona genus is an important ornamental plant species for landscapes, and generally tolerates it as an indoor (Siregar, 2005). The purpose of this study was to determine the ecology of Serdang (Livistona sp.) in Sekernan District and Mendahara Ulu District. This research was conducted in SeptemberOctober 2021 based on the purposive sampling method. The results obtained are Serdang ecology (Livistona sp.) Sekernan and Mendahara Ulu subdistricts found 16 serdang individuals, the composition of vegetation at the study site for tree stadia population was only slightly in secondary forest cover found 8 species of trees, while for oil palm plantations/rubber plantations there were 5 tree species, for the pole level most were found in oil palm plantations/rubber plantations with a total of 5 species while in secondary forest only 3 species, the sapling level was mostly found in oil palm plantations/rubber plantations because in rubber plantations the community allowed their gardens to be grown other than rubber, the seedling rate was mostly found in oil palm/rubber plantations with a total of 29 species with 129 individuals compared to secondary forests. Ecological factors around the herbaceous plants for humidity range from 250C–310C. The condition of the soil at the research site is sandy soil with a pH of 4.00 – 5.06. The slope of the medium-growing area is between 8% to 21%, which means that the herbaceous plant grows on the slope of the sloping to moderately steep area. Keywords: Livistona, Vegetation, Ecological Factors   Abstrak Livistona adalah salah satu dari marga tumbuhan palma yang wilayah penyebarannya lebar, ekologinya beragam dan bernilai penting secara hortikultura, ekonomi dan ekologi. Livistona adalah jenis tumbuhan hias yang penting untuk landskap, dan umumnya toleransi sebagai tanaman dalam ruang (Siregar, 2005). Tujuan penelitian ini mengetahui ekologi serdang (Livistona sp.) di Kecamatan Sekernan dan Kecamatan Mendahara Ulu. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan September-Oktober 2021 berdasarkan metode purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian ekologi serdang (Livistona sp.) Kecamatan Sekernan dan Kecamatan Mendahara Ulu ditemukan 16 individu serdang, Komposisi vegetasi dilokasi penelitian stadia pohon populasinya hanya sedikit pada tutupan hutan sekunder ditemukan 8 spesies pohon, sedangkan untuk kebun sawit/kebun karet terdapat 5 spesies pohon, tingkat tiang paling banyak ditemukan di tutupan kebun sawit/kebun karet dengan jumlah 5 spesies sedangkan di hutan sekunder hanya 3 spesies, tingkat pancang banyak di temukan pada tutupan kebun sawit/kebun karet karena pada kebun karet masyarakat membiarkan kebunnya ditumbuhan selain karet, tingkat semai banyak ditemukan di kebun sawit/kebun karet dengan jumlah 29 spesies dengan individu 129 dibandingkan hutan sekunder. Faktor ekologi di sekitar tumbuhan serdang kelembaban berkisar 250C–310C. Keadaan tanah di lokasi penelitian yaitu tanah berpasir dengan pH 4.00 – 5.06. Kemiringan tempat tumbuh serdang antara 8% hingga 21% bearti tumbuhan serdang tumbuh di kemiringan tempat landai hingga agam curam. Kata kunci: Livistona, Vegetasi, Faktor Ekologi
