Abstrak: Bacterial leaf blight (BLB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is one of the important diseases in rice crops. The disease is difficult to control because it attacks the rice plant at different growth stages ranging tillering, flowering and ripening. One alternative that can be used to control the spread of BLB is using the biocontrol agent which can be obtained from phyllosphere. This study aims to isolate, characterize and screen the rice phyllosphere bacteria producing bioactive compounds anti Xoo causes BLB in rice. Phyllosphere bacteria isolated from rice leaves Ciherang healthy age of 2.5 months using 4 different media obtained 285 bacterial isolates, the 65 isolates of King’s B agar, 86 isolates of nutrient agar, 81 isolates of Luria-Bertani agar, and 53 isolates of trypticase soy agar. Antagonist test using double layer method showed 58 isolates phyllosphere bacteria potential as a biocontrol agent producing bioactive compounds Xoo. Pathogenicity test showed 18 isolates not potentially pathogenic to rice plants. Among the 18 non-phytopathogenic isolates, 14 isolates including Gram-positive bacteria, 4 isolates Gram-negative bacteria, and 5 isolates of Bacillus suspected. Three of the 18 isolates (BFSGb 8, BFSGb 55, and BFSGb 99) has the largest index value inhibition of in-vitro against Xoo is 1.33, 1.67, and 1.33 respectively to isolate BFSGb 8, BFSGb 55, and BFSGb 99.

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: Monotonicity Properties of Trapezoid Sum Sequence on Class of Nonconvex and Nonconcave Function
Abstrak: Bernhard Riemann mendefinisikan integral tentu sebagai luas daerah di bawah kurva dari suatu fungsi real taknegatif pada sebuah interval yang tertutup dan terbatas. Beberapa alternatif yang dapat digunakan untuk menghampiri luas tersebut adalah Darboux sums melalui penjumlahan beberapa luas persegi panjang dan trapezoid sum melalui penjumlahan luas trapesium. Trapezoid sum lebih baik dalam menghampiri nilai integral untuk fungsi-fungsi yang well-behaved daripada Darboux sums. Untuk fungsi f yang bernilai real dan kontinu pada interval [a,b], f terintegral Riemann jika dan hanya jika f terintegral Darboux. Pada tesis ini ditunjukkan bahwa f terintegral Riemann jika dan hanya jika f terintegral secara trapesium. Misalkan f adalah suatu fungsi bernilai real yang kontinu pada interval [a,b]. Untuk setiap partisi P_n yang membagi [a,b] menjadi n subinterval dengan jarak yang sama, dibentuk trapezoid sum T_n (f) yang merupakan jumlah luas n trapesium sebagai pendekatan dari nilai integral f pada [a,b]. Jika f adalah fungsi konveks maka barisan trapezoid sum {T_n (f)} bersifat monoton turun dan akan bersifat monoton naik jika f fungsi konkaf. Fokus tesis ini adalah sifat kemonotonan barisan {T_n (f)} untuk fungsi f yang nonkonkaf dan fungsi f yang nonkonveks. Pada tesis ini dibuktikan sifat monoton turun dari {T_n (f)} secara generik tidak terjadi pada kelas fungsi nonkonkaf f, serta secara generik, barisan itu juga tidak monoton naik pada kelas fungsi nonkonveks. Meskipun demikian, sifat generik mengakibatkan bahwa untuk sebarang fungsi f baik di kelas fungsi nonkonkaf maupun nonkonveks, terdapat fungsi g yang menghampiri f sedemikian sehingga ekor barisan {T_n (g)} bersifat monoton. Ditunjukkan pula bahwa himpunan fungsi naik nonkonkaf dengan {T_n (f)} yang tidak monoton turun dense terhadap kelas fungsi naik nonkonkaf f. Hal tersebut juga ditunjukkan untuk himpunan fungsi turun nonkonkaf terhadap kelas fungsi turun nonkonkaf. Lalu, dibuktikan bahwa himpunan fungsi naik nonkonveks dan himpunan fungsi turun nonkonveks dengan {T_n (f)} yang tidak monoton naik, berturut-turut dense terhadap kelas fungsi naik nonkonveks dan turun nonkonveks. Himpunan-himpunan yang dense tersebut mengartikan bahwa setiap fungsi f pada kelas-kelas tersebut, dapat dihampiri oleh suatu fungsi g yang bersesuaian dengan kelas-kelas tersebut sedemikiam sehingga barisan {T_n (g)} tidak monoton., Bernhard Riemann defined definite integral as an area under the curve of a real nonnegative function on a closed bounded interval. The alternatives that can be used to estimate the area are Darboux sum which is sum of rectangular areas and trapezoid sum which is sum of trapezium areas. Trapezoid sum is better than Darboux sum as approximations toward the integral of well-behaved functions. Let f be a real valued continuous function on interval [a,b], f is Riemann integrable if and only if it is Darboux integrable. In this master’s thesis, it showed that f is Riemann integrable if and only if it is trapezium integrable. Let f be a real valued continuous function on interval [a,b]. For each partition P_n that divides the interval [a,b] into n equal length subintervals, defined trapezoid sum T_n (f) which is the total of n trapezium areas as an approach of integral value f on [a,b]. If f is a convex function then the trapezoid sum sequence {T_n (f)} is decreasing
