Abstrak: Endophytic microb can produce bioactive compounds as secondary metabolites that have antimicrobial, antimalarial, anticancer and other biological activities. The purpose of this research was to get nanoparticle fungal extracts of Veronaea sp. KT19, determine particle size and antimicrobial activity of the extracts. Cultivation of fungus was done for 6 and 12 days, considering the most bioactive compounds and the highest yield (biomass) produced. The result showed that scattered of nanoparticle fungal extracts from culture media of Veronaea sp. KT19 after 6 days of cultivation is 67.63-741.51 nm. The scattered of nanoparticle fungal extract from mycelium of Veronaea sp. KT19 after 6 days of cultivation is 26.92-107.18 nm based on the scatter particles in numbers with cumulants method.

Judul: Isolasi dan Uji Antimikrob Metabolit Sekunder Ekstrak Kultur Jamur Endofit AFKR-5 dari Tumbuhan Akar Kuning (Arcangelisia flava (L) Merr)
Abstrak: Endophytic fungi associated with medicinal plant were known to produce bioactive secondary metabolites similar to its host plant. This study aimed to obtain bioactive secondary metabolites as antimicrobial from endophytic fungi AFKR-5 associated with akar kuning plant from Bogor Botanical Garden. Methanol fraction of ethyl acetate extract from AFKR-5 culture in potato dextrose broth medium was capable to produce the bioactive secondary metabolites F3.4 (10.375 mg/L) with retention factor of 0.30. Antimicrobial activity test using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method showed that F3.4 was a broad antimicrobial spectrum on 3 pathogenic microbes, namely Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans mold. The determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) were carried out with liquid microdilution method. F3.4 was the most potential with MIC value of 16 μg/mL against C. albicans, twice as stronger than the commercial antifungal Nystatin which was only fungistatic with MIC value of 32 μg/mL. F3.4 was fungicidal with MFC value of 32 μg/mL against C. albicans, so that it is potential to be developed as antimicrobial, especially antifungal.

Judul: Distribusi Massa Air Laut Jawa dari Data Hidrografi MAJAFLOX Cruise 2015.
Abstrak: Laut Jawa merupakan perairan dangkal yang dipengaruhi oleh Angin Muson dan Arlindo Selat Makassar. Pemahaman tentang stratifikasi dan distribusi massa air Laut Jawa dapat dilakukan dengan adanya data hidrografi dari MAJAFLOX Cruise pada bulan Agustus 2015. Data hidrografi didapatkan dari penurunan CTD di 14 stasiun pengamatan. Hasil penelitan menunjukkan bahwa stratifikasi vertikal massa air dicirikan oleh lapisan homogen yang kuat dari permukaan hingga dasar perairan. Hal tersebut terjadi akibat percampuran massa air yang kuat oleh aksi gelombang yang dibangkitkan Angin Muson Tenggara. Selain itu, ditemukan variasi spasial dalam arah utara-selatan, dimana karakteristik massa air di tepi selatan dan utara cukup berbeda dengan massa air di tengahnya. Massa air Laut Jawa pada puncak musim timur (Agustus) dicirikan dengan massa air yang hangat (27,18 °C – 28,11 °C), bersalinitas rendah (33,58 psu – 34,2 psu), dan ringan (21,33 kg/m3 – 22,06 kg/m3), kecuali pada stasiun 1 dan stasiun 5 yang cenderung lebih hangat dan lebih tawar dari stasiun lainnya. Pola sirkulasi permukaan menunjukkan salinitas yang relatif tinggi di bagian tengah Laut Jawa dan diduga berhubungan dengan suplai massa air Arlindo Selat Makassar. Variasi tahunan dari analisis keluaran model INDESO menunjukkan adanya stratifikasi massa air yang kuat pada musim peralihan.
