Abstract

Applying PGPB (Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria) as bioinoculant under the excessive and continuous use of chemical fertilizer, pesticide, and herbicide need to be highlighted nowadays. One of the most beneficial PGPB is potassium-solubilizing rhizobacteria. Potassium is one of the elements that plant absorbs in a large amounts along with nitrogen. Soil in various regions of Indonesia have low potassium solubility. Therefore, finding the best novel isolates contributing to potassium solubilization need to be carried out continually. The aim of this study is to find potassium-solubilizing bacteria from two different rhizospheres (banana and chili plant) in Leuwikopo Experimental Garden and a cow manure in Cattle Pen, IPB University. To obtain the potassium-solubilizing isolates, we observed and characterized the best growing isolates and measured the solubilizing zone on Alexandrov agar medium. Three out of 10 isolates were selected and tested their pathogenicity on tobacco leave. Solubilization index of three isolates from the highest to the lowest were MPK P (3.07), MPK KT (3.03), and MPK C (2.63), respectively. Necrotic on tobacco leave after isolates treatment showed negative result which means that the three isolates were not pathogenic to plant host. The isolates are recommended to be used as bioinoculant both in greenhouse and field plants which lack of potassium availability in soil.

Abstract

Lysinibacillus sphaericus is widely known as a bioinsecticide agent because it shows entomopathogenic activity against vector mosquitoes, especially of Culex and Anopheles spp. This bacterium known to have variations in toxicity. Its binary toxins, which is known to have a high toxicity, has a very low genetic variation, so that resistance problems has been reported. Therefore, exploration continues to be carried out to find a new effective and potential toxin to deal with the resistance problems. This study aims to analyze the genome of isolate 229C L. sphaericus, to identify the species of isolate 229C based on the 16S rRNA gene, and to identify toxin characteristics of the 229C isolate based on the results of genome sequence analysis. The 229C isolate was previously obtained from soil sample in Indonesia and showed a high pathogenicity against C. quenquefasciatus. Molecular identification was carried out with the 16S rRNA gene analysis. While draft genome and toxin analysis performed by conducting whole genome sequencing using Illumina Hiseq 2000, 250 bp pair-end protocol. The sequenced data then analized using freely available bioinformatics tools.The results of the molecular identification showed that the closest related species of isolate 229C was L. sphaericus. The isolate 229C has a genome size of 4.65 Mbp and G+C content of 36.83%. Toxin analysis showed that this isolate did not contain Mosquitocidal toxin (Etx/Mtx), binary toxin (Bin protein), crystal toxin (Cry48/Cry49 protein), nor Sphaericolysin genes. However, there are s-layer protein and hemolysin genes that also known to be associated with the toxicity of L. sphaericus to mosquitoes and possibly, are the answer to the problem of resistance to binary toxins. This result opens the opportunity for an analysis of the effectiveness of S-layer protein and Hemolysin against resistance population mosquitoes.

Abstract

More than 6000 plant species, native and introduced, have been recorded in Java that includes the Costaceae family. In the last few years, several additions of alien Costus species have been published from Java. In 2019, a set of specimens of wild Costus sp. was collected from Institut Pertanian Bogor, Bogor, West Java Indonesia. This species is not similar to any previously recorded wild Costus in Java. Therefore, this research aims to identify the collected specimen and provide a taxonomic account for the species. The morphological description was made from the living plant and the collected herbarium. The description was used to identify the species, supported by field notes and photographs. The result showed that the recently collected specimen belongs to Costus dubius. Before this finding, the plant was only known in cultivation in the Bogor Botanical Garden. Therefore, this finding represents the first record of the adventive population of C. dubius in Java and increases the number of wild Costus in Java into seven species. Further researches on Costus in Java are suggested such as the ecological impact due to the presence of several non-native species.

Abstract

The Crested black macaque (Macaca nigra) is an endemic species to the Sulawesi Island, limited distribution, and Critically Endangered on the IUCN red list. The population density in the Tangkoko Conservation Forest Management Unit (CFMU) has decreased significantly due to habitat destruction and hunting. Existing data are based on the study in the northern part of Tangkoko. Currently, data from the southern is urgently needed so that population data covers the entire area, including to identify the habitat quality. The aims of this study was to (1) analyze the population density level of Crested black macaque at the Tangkoko CFMU, (2) identify the habitat characterize of Crested black macaque at the Tangkoko CFMU, (3) analyze the correlation between Crested black macaque density and habitat quality at the Tangkoko CFMU. The study was conducted from January to March 2020 in the sothern of Tangkoko CFMU, North Sulawesi. The data collection on the density of Crested black macaque is done by animals directly inventorying through surveys in the field. Observations are carried out by walking at speeds of 1 - 1.5 km / h on each track and stopping at every 100 m to observe the surroundings. Data recorded is the number of individuals found using the line transect method. Vegetation data collection method used is habitat quality data collection carried out by making sample plots measuring 25 m x 25 m for tree level observations in lines with each distance between plots is 250 m. Data recorded for dominance of vegetation are species names, number of individuals, and diameter at breast height of trees. The results showed that (1) the population density level of Crested black macaque was 15 individuals/km2. The highest amount of density is found on the D4 was 72 individu/km2, the lowest on D1, D5, D6, and D7 with no macaques; (2) vegetation analyzed at 45 plots were important value index with the highest value of 86,95 is Ficus variegata on line D7 for tree level, and Theobroma cacao for pole level with highest value of 120,80 on line D4; (3) the correlation between density of Crested black macaque and habitat quality that shows a positive value based on the Pearson correlation test. Further research is needed to determine the relationship between population density, habitat disturbance, and hunting pressure.

Abstract

Ashitaba is known to have antioxidant activity and gram-positive antibacterial activity that causes body odor. This is the potential activity for an active substance to be developed as deodorant. The appropriate formula is needed, so it is necessary to optimize the formula using the right method. This study aimed was to determine the application of the simplex lattice design method on the optimization of a deodorant roll-on formula of ashitaba extract. Ashitaba was extracted by the maceration method. The formula optimization design was determined using the simplex lattice design method by Design Expert®7.5.1. The components for optimization were the concentration of carbopol and concentration of TEA, and the optimization parameters were the spreadability test, sticky power, and pH test. The optimum formula of deodorant consists of 0.45% carbopol and 2.05% TEA. The responses of optimum formula obtained spreadability test 6.32 ± 0.33 cm, sticky power 44.67 ± 3.94 seconds, and pH 7.73 ± 0.17. These results meet the criteria for good preparation but need further testing related to the effectiveness of the preparation and the level of acceptance of the preparation by the user.

Abstract

A total of 10 bacterial isolates have been isolated from the gut of termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae and Termitidae) and are known to have the ability to produce lignocellulolytic enzymes consisting of cellulase, laccase, and lignin peroxidase. The enzymatic ability allows these bacteria to be used as a source of new enzymes in the industrial world. However, further research on the character of bacteria to support identification has not been carried out. This study aims to characterize lignocellulolytic bacteria in the gut of termites morphologically and biochemically. Morphological observations were carried out including colony shape, colony edge, colony color, growth type, bacterial cell shape, and gram staining. Meanwhile, the biochemical characterization carried out included glucose fermentation test, indole formation, starch hydrolysis, catalase test, and nitrate reduction. The results showed that ten isolates of lignocellulolytic bacteria from the gut of termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae and Termitidae) grew facultatively anaerobic, had almost similar morphological characters, with colony shapes including irregular and filamentous, colony edges in the form of lobate, undulate, and filamentous, and coloration. Colonies are white to yellowish white. The result of gram staining showed that most of the bacteria were gram positive bacteria with coccus and bacillus shaped bacterial cells. Biochemical analysis showed that these bacteria have the ability to ferment glucose, hydrolyze starch, reduce hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂ 30%) and reduce nitrate.
