Abstract

Endophytic bacteria have been known to produce high levels of secondary metabolites. The sterile leaves of the sea fern (Acrostichum aureum L.) contain many phytochemical compounds. This sea fern is often found in peat swamp areas. The aim of this study was to isolate, partial characterization, and analysis of bioactive compounds from endophytic bacteria of sea ferns to determine their bioactive compounds. Endophytic bacteria were isolated by a direct technique using nutrient agar (NA) media. In this study, the endophytic bacteria were characterized by macroscopic, microscopic, and Gram. Several tests were further performed, namely phytochemical test and Fourier Transform Infra Red (FT IR) FTIR tests from a crude extract of secondary metabolites of bacteria. The results of the isolation obtained six isolates of endophytic bacteria consisting of all isolates were Gram-negative. The phytochemical test results for the six isolates were positive for alkaloids and saponins but no steroids. Based on the results of phytochemical tests and FT IR, it is suspected that the isolate DSB 1.6 has similarities with the alkaloid functional group. This endophytic bacterial isolate can be developed as a candidate for produced of pharmacological compounds.

Abstract

Women often experience various health problems with their reproductive organs. They also have to take several treatments during postpartum and infant care. In the community, these treatments generally use medicinal plants and become local knowledge. This study aimed to document the local knowledge of Tanjung Merpati Village community in using medicinal plants for postpartum and infant care. We interviewed a total of 96 respondents, who are the general public in Tanjung Merpati Village. The data obtained were analyzed in the form of use-value (UV), informant consensus factor (ICF), and fidelity level (FL). The analysis results showed 22 species of medicinal plants used for postpartum and infant care. Plants such as kunyit kuning (Curcuma longa), cokur (Kaemperia galanga), entomu (Curcuma xanthorriza), and ginger (Zingiber officinale) have the highest UV values with values respectively (1; 0.96; 0.84 and 0.8). Baby haircare shows the highest ICF value. Several plants have the highest FL value (100), namely manjakani (Quercus infectoria) and asam kanis (Garcinia xanthochymus) (postnatal maternal care), ayau (Litsea sp) (baby poultice), kumis kucing (Orthosiphon aristatus), and coconut (Cocos nucifera) (fever in infants), jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) (treatment of baby's umbilical wound), lidah buaya (Aloe vera) (baby haircare), mengkudu (Morinda citrifolia) (stomachache and bloating in infants), as well as pisang (Musa sp) and cangkok manis (Sauropus androgynus) (enhance mother breast milk). Conclusions from the results of the study indicate that the people of Tanjung Merpati Village have local knowledge regarding postpartum and infant care, and this knowledge is still well maintained in the community.

Abstract

Gourami is one of the main freshwater fish commodities which has a high economic value. One of the efforts that can be made to increase the productivity of gourami is the provision of macromineral in the form of calcium carbonate (CaCo3). This study aimed to determine the effect of calcium on productivity that would be seen through the growth rate and feed conversion ratio of gourami seed. The study consisted of five doses of calcium carbonate, each of which was repeated three times. As for treating the doses of calcium carbonate, including 1 (0 mg / L CaCO3), 2 (150 mg / L CaCO3), 3 (200 mg / L CaCO3), 4 (250 mg / L) CaCO3) and 5 (300 mg / L CaCO3). The maintenance medium is added with a salinity of 3 ppt in order to save metabolic energy through an osmoregulation mechanism so that the available energy is expected to be used to increase growth. The result or absolute weight growth was not significantly different based on the analysis of variance and linier regression analysis. The analysis of variance showed that no significant different for survival rate of all treatments. The value of feed  conversion ratio was not significantly different based on analysis of variance and linier regression analysis. Addition of calcium carbonate did not give significant difference in the absolute weight growth, survival rate, and feed conversion ratio of gourami seed.

Abstract

Bactrocera fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) is one of the important pests in horticulture which is very detrimental. Lemongrass stems and salam leaves are be able used as vegetable attractants in controlling fruit fly pests. This study aimed to determine the effect of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) and salam leaves (Syzygium polyanthum) ethanol extract and their mixtures on the number of catches of Bactrocera fruit flies and to determine the effect of the concentration of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) and salam leaves (Syzygium polyanthum) ethanol extract and their mixtures on the number of catches of Bactrocera sp. The experimental design used in this research was a Randomized Block Design (RBD). The collected data were analyzed by F test two-way analysis at 95% significance level, followed by Honest Significant Difference Test (HSD) at 95% significance level. The results showed that the use of traps containing ethanol extracts of lemongrass stems and salam leaves and a mixture of the two had succeeded in catching two strains of fruit flies, namely Bactrocera albistrigata (97 individuals) and Bactrocera carambolae (32 individuals), while traps without these extracts failed to catch Bactrocera fruit flies. It is concluded the treatment of lemongrass stems (Cymbopogon citratus) and salam leaves (Syzygium polyanthum) ethanol extract, and their mixtures significantly effect on the number of Bactrocera fruit fly catches, while the treatment with different ethanol extract concentrations of 35%, 45%, and 55% has no significantly effect on the number of Bactrocera fruit fly catches.

Abstract

Ecoenzymes are natural ingredients formed from the fermentation of fruit and or vegetable residues that have many benefits. One of the benefits of ecoenzymes is that they can be used as eco-handsanitizers; which can be used as a candidate for handsanitizer for those who are allergic to alcohol-based handsanitizer. This study aims to determine the pH, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal content of the candidate eco-handsanitizer solution through alkaloid, flavonoid, and saponin test, also fungal-inhibition test. The candidate eco-handsanitizer solution was made from an ecoenzyme solution derived from fruit or vegetable residue and added with aloe vera gel and vitamin C or E. The results showed that eco-handsanitizer candidate solution derived from ecoenzyme solution with a dilution of 1:500 or 1:4 and added with aloe vera and vitamin E had a pH that tends to be acidic after 5 weeks of manufacture. The candidate eco-handsanitizer solution contained alkaloid compounds up to 2nd week for 1:500 dilution or up to 5th week for 1:4. Fungal test also showed positive results of one of the treatments in inhibiting fungal growth until the 11th day. These results were expected to be used as guidelines for further research, such as quantitative and qualitative tests for more sensitive alkaloids, for example using GC-MS.
