Judul: Optimasi lingkungan tumbuh mikroalga dari kawah ratu Sukabumi yang berpotensi sebagai sumber biodiesel
Abstrak: Microalgae is a potential as a source for biodiesel and can be cultured in a large scale. The objective of this study was to optimize growing environment (nitrogen consentration in media and light intensity) for microalgae from Kawah Ratu Sukabumi. Microalgae that was previously isolated and cultured, identified and examined for the lipid content using Nile Red method. Microalgae was then grown in the media with different concentrations of nitrogen (0, 0.5, 1 and 2 M) and light intensities (105, 140, 70, 175 mmol photon/m2 / s) over 16 days. Lipid content is monitored at 16 day after inoculation. Based on lipid content, only Chlorella sp. from Kawah Ratu that was potential as a raw material for biodiesel. Chlorella sp. grew the best in media BG11 containing of 750 ppm nitrogen under 70 μmol foton/m2/s light intensity. The highest lipid productivity was produced (10.8 mg/l/day) when it was grown on media BG11 under 70 μmol foton/m2/s light intensity.

Judul: Produksi Biodisel Secara Transesterifikasi In Situ dari Mikroalga Chlamydomonas sp. dan Synechococcus sp. yang Dikultivasi dengan Media Teknis
Abstrak: During the time being, the world’s oil supply is going to be less. In the other side, enviroment pollution derived from fosil fuel combustion is going tobe more extensive. Indonesia has 9 billion barrel of oil reserve which will be run out in 23 years. Therefore, alternative source of energy should be developed, such as biodiesel. Microalgae have a high productivity and potential to be developed as biodiesel. This development need a high cost. This study is intended to find an alternativeof biodiesel production from microalgae which is more cost efficient. We developed a new improvement by using technical grade culture nutrient and in situtransesterification process. The study consisted of three stages. The first was regeneration and providing four isolates in BG 11 medium. The second was cultivation in lab scale, aquarium scale using N2P1, N2P2 or N3P3 medium, and analyses of lipid, water, ash, yield, free fatty acid (FFA), and characterization of the fatty acid. The last was biodiesel production byin situtransesterification process,yield measurement and characterization of the biodiesel. Isolate Chlamydomonas sp. ICBB 9114 produced the highest yield of biomass (0.44 g/L) with low water content, whileChlamydomonas sp. ICBB 9112 produced the lowest biomass (0.19 g/L) with the highest water and FFA content. Synechococcus sp. ICBB 9111 had the highest ash content, whileChlamydomonas sp. ICBB 9113 had the lowest ash and FFA content. Fatty acid content with C18:3 type was dominant in Synechococcus sp. ICBB 9111 (47.03%), Chlamydomonas sp. ICBB 9113 (42.57%), and Chlamydomonas sp. ICBB 9114 (34.42%). While, C16:0 type was dominant in Chlamydomonas sp. ICBB 9112. It marked that Chlamydomonas sp. ICBB 9112 had a good quality of FA which could be used as biodiesel needing a low melting point, high cetan number, and unoxidizable. After lipid extraction, the process was continued with convertion to fatty acid metyl ester (FAMEs) through transesterification process. Chlamydomonas sp. ICBB 9114 produced the highest FAMEs (3523.20 mg/100 g). The characteristics of the biodiesel originated fromChlamydomonas sp. ICBB 9114 producedby in situ transesterficationwere suitable with SNI biodiesel criteria except for the acid value.

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
