Abstract

There is a high demand on pectin–utilizing yeasts for industrial, agricultural and environmental purposes. Further exploration of yeast from various sources are important to enrich yeast culture collections. Nine yeast strains were isolated from various soil sources sampled based on biological sampling in Bogor and Central Java. Enriched media containing pectin as carbon sources was employed for isolation of the yeast. The isolated yeast were identified according to the methods described in monographs by Kreger – Van Rij (1984), Barnett et.al (2000), Guilliermond and Tanner (2006) . The strains isolated were taxonomically separated into 3 groups. Group I contains 3 strains, and this group is closely related to Candida tropicalis. Group II contains 4 strains, and this group is included in this genus Rhodotorula. Group III contain 2 strains, and this group is closely related to Williopsis saturnus, which is a synonym of Hansenula saturnus. Pectinolytic enzymes (Polygalacturonase) were produced by all of the tested strains. Polygalacturonase was produced as high as 1.7 U.ml-1 by strain no. 111 of group I, 1.7 U.ml-1 by strains no. 123 of group II, and 1.0 U.ml-1 by strain no. 211 of group III.Key words : yeast, pectin, polygalacturonase

Abstract

One of problems in international trading of coal is high content of suljur. B iodesuljuration of coal using Thiobacillusspp is recognized as the most environmentally friendly to reduce the content. This research was aimed to collect and to isolateThiobacillus spp from coal, acid mine drainage, ex-coal mining soil and agriculture soil, on selected media. Colonies growingon the media were re-isolated for further characterization to find the most similar to Thiobacillus spp. In this experiment, the selected isolate (5, J 0, 20, 50, and J 00 ml) was cultured in 100 g of coal dust, rice husk charcoal, wood charcoal, andactivated charcoal, to find an appropriate inoculum for coal desulJuration. To observe their survival rate, they were reisolated onto 10 ml Thiobacillus broth medium. The re-isolations were observed at the 7, 14, 21 and 28 days of incubation. The results showed that ThiobaciIlus spp was found only in acid mine drainage. After characterization, the isolates were strongly similar to Thiobacillusferrooxidans. The most proper inoculum was 100 ml culture ofThiobacillus in 100 g rice husk charcoal. It had 100% survival rate after 20 days cultured in that carrier.

Abstract

Penggunaan Oligochitosan, Vitazyme, dan Biofertilizer dapat menjadi salah satu alternatif dalam upaya meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan produksi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kemampuan Oligochitosan, Vitazyme, dan Biofertilizer dalam meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan produksi padi. Penelitian ini terdiri atas penelitian menggunakan media tanah dalam pot di lapangan dan penelitian di lahan sawah. Penelitian dirancang dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok dengan empat ulangan. Perlakuan pada penelitian pot terdiri atas pemberian pupuk NPK, Oligochitosan Jepang, Oligochitosan BATAN, Biofertilizer Azozo, dan Vitazyme, sementara penelitian lapang perlakuan hanya menggunakan pupuk NPK, Oligochitosan Jepang, dan Biofertilizer Azozo. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian pupuk NPK 100% nyata meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan produksi padi dibandingkan dengan pemupukan NPK 50%. Kombinasi perlakuan pupuk NPK 50% dengan Oligochitosan, Vitazyme, atau Biofertilizer, nyata meningkatkan produksi padi menyamai atau melebihi pemupukan NPK 100%. Ini berarti bahwa baik Oligochitosan, Vitazyme atau Biofertilizer bila dikombinasikan dengan pemberian 50% NPK mampu menggantikan 50% pupuk NPK. Akan tetapi pada penelitian di lahan sawah, tidak adanya perbedaan pertumbuhan maupun produksi padi yang diberi perlakuan NPK 100% dengan perlakuan NPK 50%, sehingga dampak pemberian Oligochitosan, Vitazyme atau Biofertilizer yang dikombinasikan dengan pemberian 50% NPK tidak dapat dievaluasi.

Abstract

Peredaran pupuk anorganik fosfor (P) dan kalium (K) semakin merajalela dan memprihatinkan. Penjualan pupuk yang tidak berkualitas ini, jelas sangat merugikan petani dan pemerintah karena dapat menggagalkan panen petani dan sekaligus juga dapat menggagalkan program Pemerintah seperti Program Peningkatan Produksi Beras Nasional (P2BN) dan Program Ketahanan serta Keamanan Pangan. Pemerintah telah membentuk Komisi Pengawasan Pupuk dan Pestisida (KP3) di setiap kabupaten dan kota, yang bertugas melakukan pengawasan peredaran dan kualitas pupuk dan pestisida, akan tetapi badan ini tidak dapat menjalankan fungsinya dengan baik. Studi ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui kualitas pupuk P dan K yang dijual ke masyarakat di kios resmi penyalur pupuk di tiga kabupaten yaitu Bogor, Cianjur dan Sukabumi. Kios resmi penjual pupuk dipilih berdasarkan kecamatan penyaluran pupuk subsidi untuk tanaman pangan dan hortikultura. Dalam studi ini telah diambil 29 contoh pupuk yang terdiri atas: 10 contoh pupuk SP-36, 10 contoh pupuk P selain SP-36, dan 9 contoh pupuk K. Hasil analisis contoh pupuk menunjukkan bahwa pupuk SP-36 yang dijual di kios resmi memiliki kualitas yang baik dengan kadar P2O5 sekitar 35-36% P2O5. Namun pupuk P selain SP-36 yang terdiri dari berbagai merek yang dipasarkan di kios resmi, seluruhnya (9 contoh pupuk) berkualitas sangat rendah, dengan kandungan P2O5 berkisar dari 0.21 sampai 1.04% P2O5. Hanya empat (44%) dari sembilan contoh pupuk K yang berkualitas baik dengan kandungan kalium lebih dari 60% K2O, sedangkan yang lima contoh pupuk kalium lainnya (56%) berkualitas sangat buruk dengan kandungan kalium antara 0.02 sampai 0.08% K2O.

Abstract

Carrier is one of the important factor to determine the quality of biofertilizer. The inoculant carriers should contain no or less microbial contaminant. The purpose of this research was to investigate viability of Azospirillum, Azotobacter and Phosphate Solubilizing Fungi inoculants in carrier material that were sterilized by Gamma Irradiation Co-60 and Electron Beam Machine (EBM). Each inoculants was injected to the sterilized peat, compost, coconut shell charcoal and zeolite. Viability of inoculants in steriled carrier was evaluated at 0, 7, 14, 42 and 70 days after preparation. The stirage was done in incubator at 25ºC. The result of viability of Azospirillum, Azotobacter and Phosphate Solubilizing Fungi inoculants on sterilized carrier material by Gamma Irradiation Co-60, EBM and autoclave tended to decline during storage 70 days at room temperature (250C). Viability of Azospirillum inoculants in zeolite sterilized by Gamma Irradiation Co-60 and autoclave gave the highest numbres of viable cells. Storage of these inoculants at 25ºC for 70 days only reduce the number of viable cells by 11.1%. Viability of Phosphate Solubilizing Fungi inoculants in coconut shell charcoal or compost sterilized by Gamma Irradiation Co-60 went down by 99.8% after 70 days. The sterilization of carriers by using autoclave or Gamma Irradiation Co-60 were better than EBM sterilization. .

Abstract

Azotobacter, Azospirillum and phosphate solubilizing bacteria are the most common microbial inoculants used as biofertilizer. To have good quality of biofertilizer, the high number of inoculant cells and suitable carriers as well as the method of carrier sterilization are among the most important factors determined the quality of biofertilizer. Related to the number of inoculant cells in carriers, the growing medium used to cultivate the microbial cells play very important role. For mass production of microbial cells, the medium should be able to support fast growth of microbial cells. The price of medium should be reasonably cheap and the materials used in medium should be available easily. The purpose of this study was to obtain a cheap growing medium that can support high number of microbial inoculant cells and the components of the medium should be easyly obtain and the price is not expensive. The study was conducted at the Department of Soil Science and Land Resources, Faculty of Agriculture, Bogor Agricultural University (IPB). The results showed that the medium IPB RI-1 was able to support the growth of 1010 cfu ml-1 Azotobacter, 108 cfu ml-1 Azospirillum and 109 cfu ml-1 Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria. The number of bacterial cells in Nutrient Broth medium was only 108 cfu ml-1. This means that the IPB RI-1 medium was able to produce 100-fold population of Azotobacter compared to the growth of this bacterium in Nutrient Broth and Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria was 10-fold higher than population in Nutrient Broth medium. The costs of the IPB RI-1 and IPB RI-2 were much cheaper compared to the cost of Nutrient Broth medium. The cost of medium IPB RI-1 only 3% (IDR 945) and IPB RI-2 about 2% (IDR 690) of the cost of Nutrient Broth medium (IDR 27,752) per liter medium in the year of 2010.Keywords : Alternative media, Azotobacter, Azospirillum, Nutrient Broth, Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria
