The research was conducted from January to March 20…
Tacca chantrieri André is an exotic ornamental plant with potential medicinal properties, however it has limitations in generative propagation due to its low germination rate and slow growth, making in vitro propagation necessary. Tissue culture is considered an effective method for shoot multiplication of T. chantrieri. This study aims to determine the effect of BAP application and the optima…
The high rate of deforestation in Sumatra has led to habitat fragmentation, which impacts population decline and puts several species at risk of extinction. One of the endangered species found in PT. ABT is the Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus). This study aims to estimate the population density of the Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus) in the ecosystem restoration area of PT. ABT Block I, as well a…
Oil palm plantations on degraded peatlands play an important role in the carbon cycle, both as carbon sinks and contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. This study aims to estimate carbon stocks in oil palm plantations on peatlands in Tapung, Kampar, Riau. The study was conducted in the villages of Pagaruyung, Air Terbit, and Sungai Putih using destructive and non-destructive methods with an a…
Cocoa mistletoe (Dendrophthoe pentandra (L.) Miq.) is a mistletoe species belonging to the Loranthaceae family which is hemiparasitic or semi-parasitic. Cacao mistletoe leaves have potential as a medicinal plant. This study aims to characterize the anatomical structure and histochemistry of cocoa mistletoe (Dendrophthoe pentandra) leaves.The methods used are the paraffin method, paradermal meth…
Mangrove forests are dynamic coastal ecosystems rich in organic matter and host diverse communities of enzyme-producing microorganisms. Among them, cellulolytic bacteria play a key role in the decomposition of plant biomass by degrading cellulose. This study aimed to isolate and characterize cellulolytic bacteria from the sediments and rhizospheres of natural mangrove plants in Kelapapati Villa…
Intensive shrimp farming produces considerable inorganic nitrogenous waste—particularly ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate—which poses risks to both shrimp health and the surrounding environment. Bioremediation using ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) offers an effective strategy to reduce toxic ammonia concentrations. This study aimed to isolate and characterize AOB with bioremediation potential …
Nephelium is a member of the Sapindaceae family. This study aims to determine the stomatal characteristics and leaf safety level of four Nephelium (Sapindaceae) species found in Pekanbaru, Riau. Leaf samples were collected using the exploration method, stomatal preparations using the paradermal method. The characteritics of stomata were observed and documented using a light microscope. Toxici…
Leather is an important commodity used in various products such as clothing, footwear, furniture, and accessories. However, the production of leather derived from animals and synthetic leather has a negative impact on the environment. One more environmentally friendly alternative with a short production time is leather made from fungal mycelium. This is supported by the high biodiversity of mac…
Green meniran (Phyllanthus niruri) is a plant that has secondary metabolite compounds, in addition to the use and utilization of bioactive microbial endophytic compounds P. niruri is a more efficient alternative to producing bioactive compounds in large quantities. Acne is one of the inflammatory diseases of the skin caused by the polyferation process by Propionibacterium acnes. This study aims…
Methanotrophic bacteria possess the unique ability to utilize methane (CH₄) as their sole source of carbon and energy. Globally, these bacteria contribute to approximately 10–20% of methane mitigation. This study aimed to isolate and screen methanotrophic bacteria from the mangrove forest in Bengkalis, Riau, using Nitrate Mineral Salt (NMS) Agar as the selective medium. Screening of potenti…
Bryophytes are plant group that produce spore and lack of vascular bundles. The aim of this study was to provide data and about the species of briphytes in the Pawan Hot Spring Tourism Area, Rokan Hulu Regency, Riau Province. Samples were collected using exploration method. Morphological characteristics were observed and photographed. The collected data were then presented in the form of images…
Papaya microgreens (Carica papaya L. var. Callina) grown using compost media produce brown roots, making them less suitable for serving as food. An alternative to overcome this problem is to cultivate papaya microgreens hydroponically with a floating raft system. The success of hydroponic microgreen growth is influenced by the planting media. This study aims to determine the effect of planting …
Coelogyne rochussenii is an epiphytic orchid species that is threatened with extinction due to habitat destruction, making ex situ conservation efforts—outside its natural habitat—highly necessary. One of the most effective methods for ex situ propagation is through in vitro culture techniques. The culture media used in in vitro propagation can be enriched with organic additives such as coc…
