Judul: Identifikasi Bakteri Endofit Isolat Biogen CC-E76 dengan Teknik 16S rRNA
Abstrak: Endophytic bacteria is bacteria, which is capable to symbiosis with other organisms mutualistically to fulfill nutrition needs. Endophytic bacteria is useful in the fields of agriculture, associated with resistance to pathogens or the ability to form a metabolite that can be transported to each other on endophytic bacteria and plant tissues. One of the endophytic bacterial isolate that successfully collected was Biogen CC-E76 isolate. Strain determination of the endophytic bacteria hasn’t been done. The purpose of this research was to identify endophytic bacteria strain by using 16S rRNA PCR technique, the identifying technique depended on the degree of sequence homology of the small subunit RNA size 16S in diverse bacteria. DNA sequence alignment result (blast) showed that the Biogen CC-E76 isolate is a strain of the bacterium Burkholderia sp. bB24 with homology level of 97%.

Judul: Penapisan dan Identifikasi Bakteri Endofit dari Tanaman Binahong dan Ketepeng Cina Penghasil Senyawa Antibakteri Patogen
Abstrak: Endophytic bacteria is a beneficial microorganism that interacts with plant without causing any harm to the host. Most studies showed that certain endophytic bacteria can produce chemical compound which have medical effect for human, especially endophytic bacteria from medicinal plant. The objective of this research are to isolation endophytic bacteria from binahong and ketepeng cina that produce antibacterial compound and to identify the potencial isolate through 16S rRNA gene. Endophytic bacteria from both plants was tested to 5 human pathogenic bacteria, that are Escherichia coli dH5α, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Enterobacter sakazakii. Endophytic bacteria isolate from binahong code BB5 and BB14 have ability to inhibit 5 pathogenic bacteria growth (showed by inhibition zone). Identification based on 16S rRNA gene showed that both isolates possibly are Pseudomonas sp. KR 1.13.

Judul: Impact Of water policy on poverty reduction and women roles in water management In Zimbabwe
Abstrak: Water management is a key factor in the battle to remove the scourge of extreme poverty and to build secure and prosperous lives for people in the developing world. The water sector in Zimbabwe is complicated by the large number of actors; it is interwoven within various ministries. The research used secondary data and review of literature to evaluate how the current water policy has contributed towards marginalising women and the poor. It looked at how actors can also marginalise or put other actors at risk thereby undermining their role through prioritisation of certain projects, stakeholder participation and usage policy. From a descriptive analysis it is found that women are further relegated and marginalised. The poor are further impoverished through marginalisation and vulnerability. The policy environment favours business and state interests against those of grassroots actors and women. It recommends the establishment of home grown pro- poor water management strategies.
