Judul: Cultivation Medium Selection and Optimization Agitation Speed of Bacterial Cellulose Production by Acetobacter pasteurianum in Shaking Culture
Abstrak: Bacterial cellulose is cellulose produced by microbe especially Acetobacter strain. So far, production process of bacterial cellulose which commonly use is static culture. At this culture, production mean per culture volume (rendemen) can be improved madely culture as shallow as possible. But, this matter require wide area to grow culture and impractical for the mass production scale (Okiyama et al., 1992 in Son et al., 2001). Therefore it needed an economic and practical mass production method to produce bacterial cellulose. Shaking Culture and agitated culture are potentials method for mass production method of bacterial cellulose due to not require wide place to grow the culture and fermentation time relative quickly. This research objectives are to obtain suitable cultivation medium (type of carbon and nitrogen source) and optimum agitation speed in producing bacterial cellulose by A. pasteurianum in shaking culture and also its kinetic aspect parameter. Optimization of agitation speert was carried out to obtain optimum agitation speed of cell propagation and production bacterial cellulose. This research was carried out in three steps. First step was selection of cultivation medium. Composition of cultivation medium, which were used in this step. was modification of CSL-Fru medium. This modification had done by substituted vitamin mix, mineral mix and CSL (Com Steep Liquor). Modification had also done to Cill"bon and nitrogen source of CSL-Fru medium. Meanwhile, the fixed material of CSL-Fru medium were 0.1 % w/v KHzP04.and 0.25 % WI" MgS04.7H20. Experiment design in this step was factorial complete random design with two treatment and two replications. First treatment factor was type of carbon source (C). which comprised four levels, that were 4.03 % w/v fructose (CI), 4.43 % WI" glucose (C2), 3.83 % WI" sucrose (C3), and 4.08 % WI" sorbitol (C4) . . Second treatment factor was type of nitrogen source (Y) comprised four level, that were 0.73 % WI. (NH.)zSO, (Yl ), 0.5 % WI. (NH.)zS04 + 0.5 % WI. yeast extract (Y2) and 1.57 % WI. yeast extract (Y3). Concentration of each level of treatment factors were made different in order to have equal weight of carbon atom and nitrogen percentage with CSL-Fru medium. that is 1.62 g weight of carbon atom and 0.1924 % nitrogen percentage. Analysis in this step was yield of dried pure bacterial cellulose. First research step was begun with refreshing isolate (slant agar medium. pH = 4.5, 4 day and 30 0C), then cell propagation (3 ose, statically, 100 ml working volume in 300 ml erleruneyer flask, pH = 5, 3 day, and room temperature) and production of bacterial cdlu!ose (5 % v/v inoculu..rru:, 100 rpm, 100 m1 working volume in 300 ml erlenmeyer flask, pH = 5. 7 day, and room temperature). Second research step was the assessment of optimum agitation speed. Cultivation medium in this step was the best medium that had obtained from first research step. The research was carried out by factorial complete random design with two treatments and two replications. First treatment factor was cell propagation agitation speed (A), which comprised four level, that were 0 rpm (AI), 80 rpm (A2), 160

Judul: Studies of  microbial cellulose production through two stage cultivation
Abstrak: Acetobacter xylinum is a bacteria that can synthesize cellulose when grown in culture both static and agitated culture. In this study, cultivation is done through two stages, first stage of cultivation (agitated culture system) for 24 hours with a shaker speed of 150 rpm and cultivation of the second stage (static culture system) for 14 days. The addition of sucrose content sucrose 0%, 5%, and 7.5%. The shaker speed at 100 rpm , 150 rpm, 200 rpm, and 0 rpm as a control treatment. Additional media used is (NH4) 2SO4 0.6 g/l, K2HPO4/KH2PO4 5.0 g/l, yeast extract 2.5 g/l, and 2% glacial acetic acid. Production of microbial cellulose occurs fastest in the sample with the addition of sucrose 0% with a shaker speed of 100 rpm which began on day 5 and reached a maximum on day 10. Bacterial cellulose wet weights of 454.89 g/l, dry weight of 11.09 g/l, and the value Y(p/s) at 0.43.

Judul: Biologi Troides helena helena dan Troides helena hephaestus (Papilionidae) di Penangkaran
Abstrak: Indonesia adalah negara kepulauan beriklim tropik dengan berbagai tipe habitat dan ekosistem. Kondisi alam Indonesia merupakan habitat yang cocok bagi berbagai fauna termasuk kupu-kupu. Diperkirakan sekitar 4 000 – 5 000 jenis kupu-kupu terdapat di Indonesia. Troides helena merupakan salah satu kupu-kupu yang memiliki kombinasi warna sayap indah dan berukuran besar, sehingga menarik perhatian kolektor kupu-kupu. T. helena termasuk satwa yang diperdagangkan dan telah memasukkan devisa dari subsektor kehutanan Indonesia. Untuk mencegah dari kepunahan karena eksploitasi yang berlebihan, maka pemerintah melindungi T. helena melalui PP No. 7 Tahun 1999. Semua genus Troides masuk dalam daftar Appendix II CITES, sehingga perdagangan jenis ini harus merupakan hasil budi daya di penangkaran.
