Disease Resistance with Carrier and BSF Larval Gut Microbes https://ojs.uajy.ac.id/index.php/biota/article/view/11211 <p>Red chili (<em>Capsicum annuum</em> L.) is one of the essential vegetable commodities in Indonesia. Nevertheless, the production of red chili is affected by disease due to fungal infection. Previous research showed that the consortial formulation of bacterial and <em>Trichoderma</em> without a carrier from Black Soldier Fly (<em>Hermetia illucens</em>) larva gut enhanced the disease resistance of red chili. Regardless, the research has not overcome several diseases caused by fungal infection. This study aims to analyze the effect of adding kaolin, talc, and zeolite as carriers with bacterial and <em>Trichoderma</em> consortia from BSF larval gut on the disease resistance of red chili caused by fungal infection. This experimental study was carried out in a randomized block design. The treatments were consortial of bacterial and <em>Trichoderma</em> + carrier kaolin (BTrK), talc (BTrT), zeolite (BTrZ), positive control of consortial without a carrier (K+(1)), positive control of inorganic treatment (K+(2)), and negative control of plants without treatment (K(-)). The results were analyzed by calculating disease incidence (DI) and severity intensity (SI) scores to determine disease resistance. New findings prove that BTrK enhanced resistance to fungal infection, namely cercospora leaf spot, leaf rust, and powdery mildew. BTrT formulation enhanced resistance to symptom severity. The study concluded that carrier formulation enhanced the resistance of red chili.</p> Azmah Nururrahmani, Yayan Sanjaya, Hernawati Copyright (c) 2025 Azmah Nururrahmani, Yayan Sanjaya, Hernawati https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs.uajy.ac.id/index.php/biota/article/view/11211 Fri, 31 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Konstruksi Filogenetik Spesies Lebah Tanpa Sengat di Lampung Timur Berdasarkan Gen 16S rRNA https://ojs.uajy.ac.id/index.php/biota/article/view/9506 <p>Keanekaragaman flora dan fauna Indonesia sangat beragam. Jenis fauna yang terkenal di Indonesia adalah lebah tanpa sengat yang tersebar di seluruh wilayah di Indonesia. Informasi keragaman lebah tanpa sengat dan hubungan kekerabatan masing-masing kelompok lebah akan memberikan informasi terkait data populasi. Analisis molekuler berguna sebagai ilmu dan alat untuk melakukan identifikasi spesies. Analisis molekuler keragaman lebah tanpa sengat dapat menggunakan DNA mitokondria (mtDNA) pada lebah. Salah satu gen pengkode DNA mitokondria adalah gen 16S rRNA. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis sekuen sampel lebah tanpa sengat secara molekuler dan menyusun peta kekerabatan sehingga dapat menjadi data genetik dan informasi keanekaragaman spesie lebah tanpa sengat di Kabupaten Lampung Timur. Metode yang digunakan adalah isolasi dan amplifikasi gen DNA, elektroforesis dan visualisasi, sekuensing dan analisis hasil sekuensing menggunakan Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST), dan konstruksi pohon filogenetik menggunakan Molecular Evolution Genetic Analysis (MEGA11). Berdasarkan penelitian ini 3 sampel lebah tanpa sengat yang didapatkan dari eksplorasi di Kabupaten Lampung Timur terdeteksi sebagai spesies Heterotrigona itama dan memiliki kekerabatan yang dekat dengan spesies <em>sundatrigona sp</em> dan paling jauh dengan <em>Paratrigona lineatifrons</em>. Hal ini sesuai dengan hasil uji BLAST dan analisis data molekuler menggunakan software Mega 11.</p> Aulia Imtitsal, Priyambodo, Elly Lestari Rustiati, Dian Neli Pratiwi, Alvin Wiwiet Susanto, Viki Ramadhan, Aditya Fahrezi, Muhammad Febriansyah, Andriyani Wijaya Kusuma, Eko Agus Srihanto, Enny Saswiyanti Copyright (c) 2025 Aulia Imtitsal, Priyambodo, Elly Lestari Rustiati, Dian Neli Pratiwi, Alvin Wiwiet Susanto, Viki Ramadhan, Aditya Fahrezi, Muhammad Febriansyah, Andriyani Wijaya Kusuma, Eko Agus Srihanto, Enny Saswiyanti https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs.uajy.ac.id/index.php/biota/article/view/9506 Fri, 31 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Catechin from Avocado Seed (Persea Americana Mill.) Potentially Targets Estrogen Receptor-Alpha: Computational-Based Analysis https://ojs.uajy.ac.id/index.php/biota/article/view/10666 <p>Avocado seeds (P<em>ersea americana</em> Mill.) are known to possess various pharmacological properties, including notable anticancer potential. While preliminary studies have reported the cytotoxic effects of avocado seed extracts on breast cancer cells, there is still a lack of comprehensive research exploring the underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for these effects. This study explores bioactive compounds found in avocado seeds as potential agents targeting estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), a key biomarker in breast and cervical cancers. The investigation employs a range of computational approaches, including the Lipinski Rule of Five, ADME/Tox predictions, pharmacophore screening, and molecular docking analysis. Of the ten tested compounds, seven passed the Lipinski Rule of Five. ADME/Tox analysis revealed that most compounds exhibited adequate human intestinal absorption (HIA), poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, moderate Caco-2 permeability, and good plasma protein binding (PPB), while some were predicted to be mutagenic or carcinogenic. Pharmacophore modeling yielded an AUC of 0.87, with procyanidin B scoring 45.09 as a hit compound. Molecular docking revealed catechin, hyoscyamine, and atropine had the lowest Gibbs free energy (-5.15, -0.10, -0.07 kcal/mol). Among the compounds, catechin in avocado seed shows the highest potential for development as an ER-targeted anticancer agent.</p> Martiza Aulia, Fahrana Rosani, Tarisa Nurafni Romadhona, Lintang Gusti Kinanti, Kevin Gabriel, Agus Rusdin, Dhania Novitasari Copyright (c) 2025 Martiza Aulia, Fahrana Rosani, Tarisa Nurafni Romadhona, Lintang Gusti Kinanti, Kevin Gabriel, Agus Rusdin, Dhania Novitasari https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs.uajy.ac.id/index.php/biota/article/view/10666 Fri, 31 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Identifikasi Keanekaragaman Reptil Menggunakan Metode eDNA di Bagian Hulu Sungai Opak https://ojs.uajy.ac.id/index.php/biota/article/view/7865 <p>Sungai Opak adalah salah satu sungai utama yang mengalir di Provinsi DIY dan merupakan habitat bagi reptil seperti kura-kura, kadal dan ular. Environmental DNA (eDNA) merupakan metode yang lebih efisien untuk identifikasi spesies dibandingkan metode konvensional yang memiliki beberapa kekurangan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui keanekaragaman reptil di Hulu Sungai Opak dengan menggunakan metode sampling eDNA. Sampel air diambil dari bagian hulu Sungai Opak, kemudian dilakukan filtrasi, ekstraksi dan preservasi DNA, kemudian dilanjutkan PCR dan elektroforesis, sequencing, serta analisis bioinformatik. Hasil analisis eDNA menunjukkan adanya 6 spesies kura-kura dan 33 spesies ular. Metode eDNA dapat menunjukan hasil yang presisi dalam identifikasi sampel ke tingkat spesies, walaupun masih terdapat false positive dan false negative. Penggunaan eDNA metabarcoding dalam identifikasi keanekaragaman jenis reptil di hulu Sungai Opak dapat dilakukan secara cepat namun kurang efektif. Hal tersebut disebabkan oleh kontaminasi eDNA, kurang spesifiknya target sekuens dan primer untuk monitoring reptil, serta database referensi yang belum lengkap untuk reptil yang habitatnya di dalam dan sekitar perairan sungai di Indonesia.</p> Donan Satria Yudha, Rama Yudhistira Ismail, Kinanti Ayurahmawati Pranatami, Dwi Sendi Priyono Copyright (c) 2025 Donan Satria Yudha, Rama Yudhistira Ismail, Kinanti Ayurahmawati Pranatami, Dwi Sendi Priyono https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs.uajy.ac.id/index.php/biota/article/view/7865 Fri, 31 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0700
