Iron (Fe) is one of the essential nutrients needed by plants and microorganisms for their metabolism process. The high level concentration of Fe in the environment can cause toxic effects for living things. Free-living nitrogen fixing bacteria also has tolerance ability to a high level of metal level except for their role as nitrogen fixing. Therefore, this research has to do to selected the ab…
Crotalaria retusa L. is a type of Leguminoceae plant that has a high chance of being developed and utilized in the health and agroforestry fields. However, the hard skin of the C. retusa seed limits germination and inhibits seed availability, so scarification is necessary. This study aimed to break the dormancy of C. retusa seeds using chemical scarification in the immersion of KNO3 solution. T…
Mangrove forest is an ecosystem found in tidal areas, its existence is very influential on other ecosystems in the area. If an ecosystem is damaged or disturbed then surrounding ecosystem will affect. Conversely if success in good management (rehabilitation) of mangrove forests will affect people’s income especially fishermen and pond farmers because the mangrove forest is one of the determin…
Kasturi orange (Citrus microcarpa Bunge.) is a tropical fruit. In Sumatera, many of kasturi orange plants are cultivated in the areas of North Sumatera and West Sumatera. Kasturi orange (Citrus microcarpa Bunge.) is a medicinal plant that contains chemical compounds from secondary metabolites. Limitations of the seed and slow rate of growth is a challenge in the Kasturi orange plant propagatio…
Riparian vegetation is vegetation in transition zone between water flow and land. One composition of riparian vegetation is trees, which have an important role in riparian zones. The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity and density of trees that grow in riparian zone at Hutan Larangan Adat Ghimbo Potai-Kampar. he method used was purposive sampling with a plot measuring 20 m x 20…
Dragonflies have an important role in habitat for maintaining the balance of forest ecosystem and as predators to small insects such as like moths mosquitoes and plant pests. The purpose of this study was to determine the composition and diversity of Anisoptera dragonflies (Odonata) in three types of habitat in the Ghimbo Potai Indigenous Forest. This research was conducted from January to Fe…
Efforts to obtain plant cellulose require energy and can damage the environment, so an alternative source of cellulose that can be renewed with a more efficient result is bacterial cellulose. For this reason, this study aims to obtain bacterial isolates that have the potential to produce cellulose pellicles which can be applied in the textile fiber industry. The sample was grown on hestrin-schr…
Leucobryum spp. is a member of the Leucobryaceae family whose morphology is easily recognizable, Leucobryum spp. has a strong water retention ability and this moss also contains active compounds both primary and secondary metabolite compounds. The purpose of this study was to characterize Leucobryum spp. origin of Riau Province based on the character of secondary metabolic compound content. Thi…
Plastic waste that is difficult to degrade becomes a serious problem because it can pollute the environment. Therefore, efforts need to be made to address the problem by replacing the use of conventional plastic base materials into materials that are easily decomposed by microorganisms such as bioplastics. The purpose of this research was to obtain potential isolates in producing Polyhydroxy Al…
The use of cellulose from plants for paper production continuously requires energy and can to damage the environment, so an alternative source of renewable cellulose is needed with more efficient results, namely the production of cellulose from bacteria. Therefore, this study aimed to isolate and test cellulose-producing bacteria from mangosteen, durian, kapulasan and industrial rubber waste fo…
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is pure cellulose synthesized by various species of bacteria. Bacterial cellulose can be applied in the medical field as a substitute for non-halal gelatine. This study purposed to isolation and production of cellulose-producing bacteria which can be applied as materials for halal capsules. Isolation of cellulose-producing bacteria were carried out on palm oil plantatio…
Bacterial cellulose is a biopolymer produced by acetic acid bacteria through oxidative fermentation. Bacterial cellulose is used in various industrial fields, especially paper production due to its excellent physical-chemical properties. This study aimed to isolate potential bacteria producing cellulose from mangrove soil in Riau and tropical fruits (rambutan, matoa, apple) to be used as biomat…
Kasturi orange (Citrus microcarpa Bunge.) is a type of fruit that belongs to the genus citrus, has vitamin C content, and has high antioxidant properties. Generative development after 5 years old. Therefore, by inducing the need for seedlings in large quantities can be achieved in a short time. This study aims to determine the effect of the use of BAP and Kinetin singly or in combination on the…
The palm oil plant (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) has survival in flooding conditions on peatlands. However, the connection between oil palm resistance and responses to the anatomical structure of the root was still unknown. Changes in root anatomy under flooding conditions can be observed by comparing the root anatomical structure which experienced flooding stress to root tissue structures that do …
