Abstract

Optimal coral growth has a positive impact on increasing biodiversity. This can be observed through the increase in the number of marine species as the transplanted coral reefs age. One natural indicator in coastal ecosystems is the presence of moray eels. Within the coral reef ecosystem, the diversity of moray eels as natural predators belonging to the category of reef fish can serve as an indication of a healthy and balanced ecosystem. The method used in this research is visual counting or visual observation of several species of marine eels on three different major installed reef star media, as part of coral reef restoration efforts. The data collection locations include three points of reef star media installation: BTN, Coral Garden, and Cluster 5. The water conditions in these locations, such as salinity, temperature, pH, and conductivity, indicate the adequate quality to support coral reef restoration efforts. In this study, five species of marine eels frequently encountered in the three data collection locations identified as: Echidna nebulosa, Gymnothorax thyrsoideus, Gymnothorax fimbriatus, Gymnothorax pictus, and Gymnothorax richardsonii. The highest abundance and diversity were found in Coral Garden, followed by Cluster 5, with BTN being the lowest.

Abstract

Coral reef ecosystems are crucial for marine ecosystems as they support various other marine organisms. Sea urchins, such as Diadema setosum and Echinometra mathaei influence the coral reef communities by consuming algae that disrupt coral growth. This study aims to determine reef star coral media quantity, identify the dominant coral species at three points (BTN, Coral Garden, and Cluster 5) in Nusa Dua Beach, and assess the influence of sea urchins on coral reefs. The sampling method used was Purposive sampling, and visual observations which were conducted from June 27 to June 30, 2022. Results showed the varying sea urchin populations, with Acropora sp. and Pocillopora sp. dominating at BTN, Acropora sp. and Pectinia sp. at Coral Garden, and Acropora sp. at Cluster 5. The findings suggest that sea urchins play a key role in maintaining coral reefs by consuming macroalgae and supporting coral survival.

Abstract

Levofloxacin (LEV) is a type of fluoroquinolone antibiotic that usually used for treating the bacterial infection. The released of LEV in environment may impact a significant risk to the ecosystems. Thus, a fast and sensitive sensor device is required. In this work, the detection of LEV is carried out using a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPE). The measurement methods used were square wave voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry. The limit of detection and limit quantitation were 4.34 µM, 14.4 µM, respectively. The relative standard deviation was obtained at 5.4%. The %recovery results obtained using screen printed electrode in drug, milk, and wastewater were in the range of 95-110%. The validated method was successfully applied to detect the levofloxacin and resulted in a sensitive and efficient measurement.

Abstract

The electrochemical detection method of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) using carbon foam electrodes have been successfully developed. The carbon foam was prepared from carbon-coated nickel foam which is synthesized using a hydrothermal-carbonization method. SEM characterization indicated that the optimum synthesis of carbon-coated nickel foam has been achieved on the 4th layer coating process with an expected spherical structure, while characterization using FTIR and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the formation of graphitic material with D band and G band characteristics. An electroactive surface area of ​​0.0236 cm2 was achieved. Cyclic voltammetry of HOCl in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution pH 6.0 showed the best current response for HOCl reduction occurs at a potential of -0.3 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). Further detection of HOCl using amperometry technique in the concentration range of 2-200 μg/mL showed good linearity with sensitivity of 9.112 mA/µg/L and an estimated detection limit of 1.96 µg/mL. Good repetition is indicated by the RSD value of 2.499 % (n=5). This developed sensor also showed good selectivity in the presence of interference compounds, such as FeCl2 and CuSO4. Besides, the determination of HOCl in tap water has been successfully conducted and generated a comparable result with the UV-VIS method (3.30 µg/mL hypochlorite). The results indicated that the developed sensor is promising for the detection of HOCl in environmental applications.

Abstract

Boron-doped diamond (BDD) microelectrodes were prepared to investigate the correlation of hydrazine oxidation current responses with Pt nanoparticle (Pt NP) size distribution. The BDD film was grown on the surface of a tungsten needle with a diameter of 25 µm. An average particle size of around 5 µm BDD crystalline was successfully synthesized using a microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition technique. The Raman spectrum confirmed the presence of diamond formation as indicated by peaks corresponding to C-C sp3 bonds, while X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectrum showed the presence of C-H and C-OH bonds on the surface of the BDD microelectrode. Meanwhile the Pt nanoparticles was synthesized through reduction reaction of  PtCl62- solution using NaBH4 with citric acid as the capping agent. Particles size between 4.46 to 4.78 nm were observed by using TEM measurements. The BDD microelectrodes were utilized to investigate the relationship between Pt nanoparticle size distribution and the current generated from the oxidation reaction of 15 mM hydrazine in a 50 mM phosphate buffer solution pH 7.4 in the presence of 1.0 mL nanoparticle solutions. A current range of 5 and 6 nA with a noise level of 0.15 nA was observed showing a good correlation with the particle sizes of Pt NPs. Comparison was also performed with the measurements using Au microelectrodes, indicated that the prepared BDD microelectrodes is promising for the measurements of nanoparticle sizes distribution, especially Pt NPs.
