Judul: Antimicrobial Activity of Bacillus sp. to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycines, and Pseudomonas fluorescens.
Abstrak: Leaf blight disease caused by bacterial plant pathogen such as X. oryzae pv. oryzae and P. syringae pv. glycines had deathly effect to plants. The pathogens can be controlled by biological control using P. fluorescens or antimicrobial substances. The research studied the inhibition ability and production of antimicrobial substances produced by Bacillus sp. againts bacterial plant pathogen such as X. oryzae pv. oryzae, P. syringae pv. glycines, and biological control P. fluorescens. As many as 31 Bacillus sp. isolates isolated from forest soil was determined their antimicrobial activity against indicator bacteria using double layer method. The result showed that 13 isolates was able to inhibit Staphylococcus aureus, Eschericia coli, and X. oryzae pv. oryzae growth, 8 isolates could inhibit P. fluorescens A growth, 9 isolates could inhibit P. fluorescens B growth, and 8 isolates could inhibit P. syringae pv. glycines growth. Bacillus sp. F13 had the fastest inhibition and good efficiency against all indicator bacteria. Mixed culture competition test showed that this isolate had a broad spectrum inhibition activity, it was able to inhibit Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. The isolate could inhibit growth of P. syringae pv. glycines and X. oryzae pv. oryzae up to 100%. The antimicrobial substance the isolate was produced in the late logarithmic growth phase.

Judul: Potensi Beberapa Bakteri Penghambat Pertumbuhan Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae Penyebab Penyakit Hawar Daun Bakteri pada Tanaman Padi
Abstrak: Bacterial leaf blight (BLB) disease caused by plant pathogenic bacteria Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) could lead to death of rice plants. Control of plant pathogenic bacteria can be performed using biological control agents. The aim of this research was to study the inhibitory ability of eight isolates of biocontrol bacteria against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) under greenhouse conditions. Isolates of biological agents used in the study were obtained from IPB Culture Collection (IPBCC), Department of Biology, IPB and microbial gene bank collection of Indonesian Center for Agriculture Biotechnology and Genetic Resources (BB Biogen), consisting of Pseudomonas aeruginosa C32a and C32b, P. fluorescens ATCC 13525 Pf , Serratia marcescens E31, Bacillus sp. I.5, B. cereus I.21 and II.14, and B. firmus E65 isolates. The methods used in the research i.e. hypersensitivity test, antagonistic test of biocontrol bacteria to Xoo, and in vivo application of biological agents in the greenhouse condition. Hypersensitivity test on tobacco plants using C32a and C32b inoculums showed characteristics of slightly leaf yellowing but did not cause necrosis. Injection using Xoo inoculum showed necrosis on tobacco leaves. Antagonist isolates i.e. C32a, C32b, Pf, I.21, and I.5 showed inhibitory activity against Xoo, whereas others isolates did not show inhibitory activity. In greenhouse experiments IR 64 rice plants were sprayed with biological control agents (107cfu/ml) at 7 days, 14 days, 28 days, and 42 days after planting. The results showed that C32a isolate could suppress better the lesion length of BLB than that of chemical control (copper sulphate). Growth measurement of rice plants were assessed on plant height, number of tillers, panicle number and grain weight. Rice plants spraying treatment with isolates E65, E31, C32a, C32b, I.21, Pf, and I.5 showed no difference with control of sterile distilled water. Spraying with each suspension isolate of I.21, E31, C32a, Pf, and C32b indicated no different in the panicle number, in addition rice production was higher in C32a, Pf, C32b, and I.21 treatments. Spraying with C32a isolates produced the highest grain production compared with that of other isolates.

Judul: Studi kasus migran pedagang kaki lima di pasar Senen, Jakarta Pusat
Abstrak: Sejak Jakarta menjadi ibukota negara RI, Jakarta tidak pernah sepi dari arus migrasi penduduk. Masuknya para migran ke Jakarta disebabkan karena pertumbuhan fisik yang nyata, yaitu dari pembangunan gedung perkantoran, fasilitas hiburan dan lainnya, memberi daya tarik bagi orang bukan penduduk Jakarta. Termasuk di antara migran adalah kaum golongan kecil yang berasal dari kalangan sirkuit bawah desa. Alasan utama migrasi di sirkuit bawah, yaitu khususnya yang akhirnya bekerja sebagai pedagang kaki lima di Pasar Senen ini pindah ke Jakarta, adalahJakarta menawarkan kesempatan kerja bagi siapa saja yang mau bekerja. Karena di desa tak ada pekerjaan yang dapat menampung golongan muda, kaum migran meninggalkan desa menuju Jakarta. Pola migrasi masuk ke Jakarta tidak dipengaruhi oleh kemungkinan golongan muda mampir di kota-kota kecil sebelum tiba di Jakarta. Keberanian dan tekad bulat meninggalkan desa asal didorong pula oleh sumber cerita tentang Jakarta (saudara/kenalan) yang juga mengalami bahwa setiba di Jakarta mereka akan langsung bekerja. Pendidikan rendah, tidak memiliki ketrampilan, orang petani/buruh tani, merupakan bagian kecil latar tua belakang sosial migran pedagang kaki lima. Memperoleh pekerjaan apa saja asal halal pada mulanya, tempat tinggal dimana saja, modal kecil dan pendapatan harian yang rendah juga mewarnai hidup para migran pedagang kaki lima di Jakarta. Namun sekalipun demikian mereka tetap hidup, bahkan dapat mengirim uang ke desa asal, pulang ke desa minimum setahun sekali dan sedikit-sedikit mampumenabung. Bekerja sebagai pedagang kaki lima sudah ditekuni selama lebih dari lima tahun bahkan ada yang lebih dari tujuh tahun. Inipun dimulai setelah minimum selama dua tahun migran mengerjakan apa saja di Pasar Senen: yang penting dapat uang dan bisa hidup di Jakarta. Bahkan modal membuka usaha kaki lima diperoleh dari selama bekerja mula-mula itu. untuk pengumpulan upah Sekalipun terdapat kenaikan tingkat kehidupan sosial di kota dibandingkan dari desa, kaum migran pedagang lima di Pasar Senen ini tetap berada bawah kota. di kaki bawah sirkuit Ikatan-ikatan baru di kota hampir tidak terjadi kecuali ikatan-ikatan kedaerahan yang terus dipertahankan.
