The primary source of heavy metal Pb pollution in the environment, which significantly affects water quality and soil engineering properties, is waste from automotive workshops. Bacteria isolated from Pb contaminated environments have shown tolerance to Pb and the ability to accumulate or reduce Pb heavy metal content. This study aimed to isolate and characterize indigenous Pb tolerant bacteria…
Rice production in Indonesia remains relatively low, partly due to suboptimal fertilization practices. One alternative that can be used is biofertilizer, which contains live microbes that help supply essential nutrients needed by rice plants, such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). This study aims to select endophytic bacteria from sea ferns originating from Meranti based on th…
Microbial infections caused by pathogenic microbes have become an increasingly serious global health concern, particularly due to the rise of microbial resistance to antibiotics. An alternative solution is being explored by investigating bioactive compounds from endophytic fungi of mango macang (Mangifera foetida), which are capable of producing secondary metabolites with potential antimicrobia…
ABSTRACT Koto Panjang Reservoir was built in early 1993 with the main purpose as a hydroelectric power plant (PLTA). The reservoir area of around 12,400 Ha is widely used for various other purposes, including flood control, transportation, tourism and fisheries. The fisheries business that is quite developed in the Koto Panjang Reservoir is fish farming in floating net cages (KJA). The uti…
The presence of ectoparasites in cattle is one of the key factors affecting livestock health and productivity. As a region with a growing small-scale cattle farming sector, Pekanbaru City requires updated information regarding the prevalence and types of ectoparasites infecting cattle. This study aims to identify ectoparasite species and determine their prevalence and infestation intensity in c…
The Kembung Luar and Jangkang rivers are the two largest on Bengkalis Island and have mangroves along their banks. This study aims to conduct an inventory of mangrove species richness, analyze mangrove vegetation structure, calculate diversity index values, and identify anthropogenic activities affecting the mangroves in the two rivers. Line transects and nested plots with purposive sampling we…
Agarwood or gaharu, is a high-value forest product that can only be formed by trees from the genus Aquilaria and Gyrinops. The demand for agarwood continues to increase however natural formation process takes a long time, and only about 7–10% of trees are capable of producing agarwood. This has led to the exploitation of agarwood-producing trees, thereby threatening their population. One meth…
Acrylamide is a hazardous chemical compound formed in food through high- temperature cooking processes, particularly in foods rich in carbohydrates and proteins. This compound is toxic, carcinogenic, and neurotoxic, and may trigger kidney damage. This study aimed to determine the effect of acrylamide administration on the histological structure of the kidneys in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus B…
Acne is one of the common skin diseases found in Indonesia. Acne or Acne vulgaris occurs due to infection or inflammation of the polysebaceous caused by blockage and accumulation of keratin material triggered by the presence of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria. Current acne treatment uses a lot of synthetic antibiotics, as a result if used for a long period of time it can increase resistance so…
This study aimed to evaluate the homogeneity of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) cultivars Srikandi and Asri developed through plant breeding, to support the development of superior varieties that are stable and uniform. The research was conducted at the Biology Field Garden, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Riau from December 2024 to April 2025 using a Randomized Complete…
Earthworms are one of the macrofauna that are widely found and often found on plantations in Indonesia. However, almost all plantations today use a wide variety of chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides, which, in addition to the weed- weeding process, can damage the ecosystem of soil animals, which is very important in the decomposition process. This study aims to determine the compositi…
The clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi) population is currently in a very alarming and endangered condition. This study aims to determine the population structure of clouded leopards in the Bukit Tigapuluh.

The Siak River experienced lead (Pb) heavy metal pollution in January 2024 ranging from 0.072 - 0.113 mg/L. Very high Pb levels affect the structure of fish organs, especially the kidneys. This study aims to determine the Pb levels in the waters of the Siak River and changes in the macroscopic and microscopic structure of the kidney organs of the catfish Hemibagrus nemurus (Valenciennes, 1840).…
Rosella (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) merupakan tanaman herbal potensial, yang umumnya dibudidayakan pada musim penghujan karena membutuhkan air yang cukup di fase vegetatifnya. Namun, perubahan iklim menjadi tantangan dalam pembudidayaan tanaman rosella karena dapat memicu kondisi cekaman kekeringan, sehingga perlu dilakukan pengaturan interval penyiraman. Pengaturan interval penyiraman tidak hanya…
Tampoi leaves (Baccaurea macrocarpa (Miq.) Mull.Arg.) are known to contain various secondary metabolites that contribute to their biological activities, including antioxidant and antibacterial properties, as well as the ability to enhance erythrocyte and hemoglobin levels.
