Abstract

Actinomycetes form associations with plants through colonizing plant tissues (endophytes) or by residing in the soil around some plants' roots (rhizosphere). Actinomycetes are known to produce antibacterial compounds. This study aimed to investigate the antibacterial activity of actinomycetes associated with the clove plant (Syzygium aromaticum) against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Actinomycetes were isolated from clove plants and the rhizosphere, and their antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was evaluated using the agar plug method, where the presence of transparent zones around 10-day-old actinomycete growth indicated inhibition of bacterial growth. Four isolates showed inhibitory effects against Staphylococcus aureus, while only three isolates, B.4, T.3, and T.4, demonstrated inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli, as indicated by the presence of inhibition zones. Isolate T.3 exhibited the highest inhibition zone of 8.5 mm against S. aureus, whereas B.4 displayed the highest inhibition zone of 7.7 mm against E. coli. In conclusion, the actinomycetes found in clove plants (Syzygium aromaticum) demonstrate antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, indicating their potential as antibacterial agents.

Abstract

Pollution of environmental streams and ecosystems is rising. One of the sources of water contamination is the wastewater from the textile, plastics, and mining sectors, which contains both organic and inorganic pollutants. Heavy metals and dyes in wastewater must be treated before disposal to protect the aquatic environment and human health. Due to its effectiveness, low cost, and simplicity of use, biosorption has emerged as a wastewater treatment option. Rambutan waste, in particular, is promising for commercial usage due to its extensive availability and efficiency. In this article, we review the usage of natural rambutan peels, seeds, leaves, and stems for the biosorption of water contaminants. We discuss the factors that influence pollutant removal. A pH of 6 to 12 is advantageous for cationic pollutant removal, whereas a pH of less than 5 is appropriate for anionic pollutant removal. More significant concentrations of pollutants generally result in lesser removal, whereas higher doses of biosorbent result in higher removal. The ideal adsorption contact time for rambutan peels and seeds was less than an hour. We also discuss the isotherms of the adsorption process.

Abstract

Water quality problems that are often encountered, especially by-product wastewater resulting from industrial processes that do not meet the requirements for wastewater quality standards. Iron levels in wastewater can cause the water to turn brownish yellow and produce an unpleasant odor, which of course has a big impact on the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a treatment process to reduce the iron level in the water, ensuring that the water is safe when discharged into the environment. The purpose of this research is to analyze the initial parameters of temperature, pH, TDS, TSS, dissolved oxygen (DO) and dissolved iron (Fe2+) in industrial waste water and then wanted to know whether the venture injector type micro bubble aeration process was able to increase the value of dissolved oxygen (DO) and decrease the dissolved iron content (Fe2+) in wastewater and to know the micro bubble type aeration process Venture injectors are the best to use. The research was conducted with an experimental design using a completely randomized design (RAL) with two factors: air flow (2 LPM, 4 LPM, and 6 LPM) and aeration time (0 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and 60 minutes), each with two repetitions. In the results of the initial parameter analysis, the pH value was 8.02 (alkaline), the temperature value was 28°C, the TDS value was 1548.3 mg/L, the TSS value was 291 mg/L, the DO value was 0.1 mg/L and dissolved iron (Fe2+) of 7.453 mg/L. After conducting research, it was found that the venture injector type micro bubble aeration process was able to increase the value of dissolved oxygen (DO) and reduce dissolved iron (Fe2+) in industrial waste water, the best increase in dissolved oxygen (DO) at 6 LPM air flow for 60 minutes was able to increase oxygen dissolved (DO) to 2.40 mg/L. The most efficient and effective reduction in the value of dissolved iron (Fe2+) at 6 LPM air flow with a time of 15 minutes was able to reduce the value of dissolved iron by 84.42%.

Abstract

Guava is a plant with many benefits, especially in the leaves. There are many chemical compounds in guava leaves (Psidium guajava L.), such as flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. Traditionally, Guava leaves have been used for a long time (Psidium guajava L.) as medicine to stop diarrhea, with its availability as an herbal product widely marketed. Using guava leaves as traditional medicine is made by boiling them and extracting them to remove chemical compounds, namely, Tannins found in the leaves. In addition to decoction, guava leaf extract can be obtained by maceration. Research that has been conducted aims to determine the content of saponin compounds, tannins and flavonoids in guava leaves (Psidium guajava L.) using two extraction methods, namely maceration and boiling. The maceration method uses a technical ethanol solvent (96%), and boiling uses a water solvent. Then phytochemical screening is tested based on the color reagent of the compound. Based on the results of research that has been carried out shows that from both extraction methods, positive guava leaf extract (Psidium guajava L.) contains saponin compounds, tannins, and flavonoids.

Abstract

In this paper, we study low-dimensional Filiform Lie algebras. Specifically, three-dimensional standard Filiform Lie algebras and five-dimensional non-standard Filiform Lie algebras. The classification method was given in the following stage. For given a low-dimensional Filiform Lie algebra, we compute its second centre. We showed that three-dimensional Filiform Lie algebra-called Heisenberg Lie algebra-is type ???? and ????+ as well. On the other hand, for ????≥3, the standard Filiform Lie algebras are type ???? but not type ????+. In this case, we give a concrete example of case five-dimensional Heisenberg Lie algebra. Moreover, we proved that five-dimensional non-standard Filiform Lie algebra is type ???? but not type ????+. It is still an open problem to classify types ???? and ????+ for the general case of non-standard Filiform Lie algebra of dimension ≥6.

Abstract

Determination of the seismic risk and return period of shallow earthquakes in Cianjur and surrounding areas is very important as a reference in earthquake disaster mitigation programs. Within this return period, structural and non-structural conditions can be prepared in stages that are ready to face disasters if the earthquake recurs. In this study used the least squares statistical method to determine the relationship between frequency and magnitude, level of risk, and earthquake return period. The earthquake data used in this study is sourced from the earthquake catalog of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) spanning 50 years (1973 – 2023). A total of 57 shallow earthquakes that occurred in Cianjur area and its surroundings at coordinates (06°-08°S and 106°-108°E) with magnitude greater or equal to 5.0 at a depth of 0-60 km were used as sample data. Based on the results of data processing and analysis, the return periods are 3.17 to 29.1 years for earthquakes with magnitudes between 5.0 and 6.0, and 29.1 to 267.38 years for earthquakes with magnitudes between 6.0 and 7.0.. Earthquake risk for 10 to 20 years with magnitude greater than 5.0 is 95.74 to 99.82 %, with magnitude greater than 6.0 is 20.09 to 49.70 %, and with magnitude 7.0 is 3.67 to 7.21 %. From the results of processing and analysis of the earthquake data, it shows that the Cianjur area and its surroundings are earthquake-prone areas with a high risk.
