Sari SLA, Pangastuti A, Susilowati A, Purwoko Tj, Mahajoeno E, Hidayat W, Mardhena I, Panuntun DF, Kurniawati D, Anitasari R. 2016. Cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic bacteria from the gut of Oryctes rhinoceros larvae. Biodiversitas 17: 78-83. Lignocellulose is very potential as raw material for biofuel production because it is cheap, abundant and renewable. The main carbohydrate constituents of lignocellulosic material are cellulose and hemicelluloses (a group of heteropolymers that includes xylans and mannans). The most important process in bioethanol production from lignocellulose is the bioconversion of polysaccharides into fermentable sugar. Enzymatic hydrolysis has been developed because it is the more environmentally approach. Since the cost of hydrolytic enzyme production is the major problem of the process, many type of research has been focused on lowering the cost of enzyme production, including screening for organisms with a novel enzyme. This present study was conducted to isolate and screen of the cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic Bacteria from the gut of Oryctes rhinoceros L. larvae. The 3 rd instars were used in this research. The research succeeded to isolate 11 bacterial isolates from the gut of O. rhinoceros larvae. The screening result demonstrated that bacterial isolates had cellulolytic (63.6% of total isolates), xylanolytic (72.7% of total isolates), and mannanolytic (100% of total isolates) activity. Based on the 16S rDNA sequence, 10 isolates were classified into Bacillus and only 1 isolate was classified into Citrobacter. The GOR2 which was closely related to Bacillus pumilus vit bac1 has the highest cellulolytic and xylanolytic activities. The isolate with the highest mannanolytic activity was the GOR7 which was closely related to Bacillus aryabhattai strain IHB B 6821.
The purpose of this study is to obtain the value of density, frequency, mangrove cover and the mangrove importance index (INP Mangrove) The method used for belt transects. The quadratic transect method measures 10 m x 10 m (tree category), 5 m x 5 m (sapling category) and 2 m x 2 m (seedling category). The results found that the mangrove community in Serewe Bay, Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara. Tree strata are dominated by Sonneratia alba species, pole strata are dominated by Sonneratia alba species and the seedling strata are dominated by Pemphis acidula. This shows that the existence of these three types can be found in almost every plot / plot. The Importance Value Index (INP) of mangroves obtained is classified as moderate, this shows that mangroves in Serewe Bay, Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara have an important role for the coastal environment.
Every species of soil macrofauna prefer specific food and environment to be establish in it's habitat. Their diversity depend on variation of food and environmental condition. The aim of this research was to study the effect of different crop residue and light intensity on population of several soil macrofauna specieses. Mycrocosmos experiment was arranged in split-plot design with two treatments factor, i.e.: (1) crop residue (albizia, papaya, elephant grass, maize, sweet potato and without crop residue input), and (2) light intensities (0, 5, 15 and 25) Watt/day. The soil macrofauna were earthworms, millipedes, scarabids larvae and cocroachs. Results of the study showed that: (1) crop residues apllication increased soil macrofauna population, especially maize residue ( by 113%, respectively, compare to control tretment), (2) on higher light intensity, population of earthworms, scarabids larvae and cocroach decreased, but population of millipedes increased, (3) the highest macrofauna population was on maize residue and 5 Watt/day light intensity treatment.
Abstract. Rahmawati B, Mahajoeno E. 2009. Variation of morphology, isozymic and vitamin C content of dragon fruit varieties. Nusantara Bioscience 1: 131-137. The aims of the research was to study the variation of morphology, the band pattern of isozyme, and vitamin C content of dragon fruit (Hylocereus spp.) varieties such as super red, red and white from Pasuruan (East Java), Sukoharjo and Klaten (Central Java), and Bantul districts (Yogyakarta). Morphological character were carried include fruit, stem, and flowers of each variety of dragon fruit. The isozymic pattern was analyzed using NTSYS 2.02i. The data matrix was counted based on the DICE coefficient. The clustering was done by applying UPGMA which counted through SHAN. Vitamin C content measured by titration method then analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the higher vitamin C content was found from super red of Pasuruan (6.00) and then followed by red color (5.376) and super red (5.113) both from Bantul. The morphological variation on the stem and petal colors, and fruits were also shown by the isozymic data of three varieties of dragon fruits collected from four separated locations. Esterase (EST) showed 18 bands and forming four (4) groups based on 75% genetic similarity index. The specific band occurred on Rf 0.633 of red varieties of dragon fruit from Bantul and on Rf 0.755 from Pasuruan. The specific band also occurs on Rf 0.347 of white variety from Bantul and on Rf 0.510 and on Rf 0.633 from Klaten. Glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) enzyme shows 12 bands and also forming four groups with a little difference for member in the fourth group. The specific band occurs on Rf 0.321 of red color fruit from Pasuruan. The specific band also occurs on the white from Pasuruan on Rf 0.446 and on Rf 0.482. The variation of dragon fruits were also supported by isozymic data indicated that the morphological character were in accordance with the genetics data.Key words: dragon fruit, Hylocereus, morphology, isozyme, vitamin C. Abstrak. Rahmawati B, Mahajoeno E. 2009. Variasi morfologi, isozim dan kandungan vitamin C pada varietas buah naga. NusantaraBioscience 1: 131-137. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji keragaman variasi morfologi, pola pita isozim dan kandungan vitamin C pada buah naga (Hylocereus spp.) berdaging merah super, merah, dan putih dari Kabupaten Pasuruan (Jawa Timur), Sukoharjo dan Klaten (Jawa Tengah), serta Bantul (Yogyakarta). Data morfologi diuraikan secara deskriptif meliputi buah, batang, dan bunga dari setiap varietas buah naga. Data pola pita isozim dianalisis menggunakan program NTSYS 2.02i. Data matrik dihitung berdasarkan koefisien DICE. Pengelompokan dilakukan dengan UPGMA yang dihitung melalui SHAN. Kandungan vitamin C diketahui dengan metode titrasi dan dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kandungan vitamin C tertinggi terdapat pada merah super Pasuruan (6,00), diikuti merah Bantul (5,376) dan merah super Bantul (5,113). Variasi morfologi terjadi pada warna batang, kelopak bunga dan r...
