Judul: Composition and Activity Bioflocculant from Flavobacterium sp.
Abstrak: Synthetic flocculant has widely used in industrial application as a colloidal aggregation. The usage of flocculant has known to be risky on human health and environment sustainability because the characteristic: neurotoxic, strong carcinogen, and unbiodegradable by microbe. Therefore, bioflocculant can become one of solution to provide alternative flocculant synthetic. Bioflocculant from Flavobacterium sp. has proven give flocculation activities well, 71.23%, although its component has not identified yet. Each bioflocculant has different biochemistry component so it is need to make sure its type for more precise application. The objective of this research were to analyze biochemistry component of bioflocculant from Flavobacterium sp. which has been gotten from ethanol precipitation. The result of this research showed that bioflocculant from Flavobacterium sp. contained polysaccaharide (carbohydrate) and protein are 0.0800 mg/mL and 0.0566 mg/mL for medium 1; 0.2284 mg/mL and 0.5983 mg/mL for medium 2. The flocculation activities of bioflocculant cultur from medium 1 (glucose 1% and sucrose 1%) and from medium 2 (glucose 0.2% and starch 3%) were 66.34% and 51.18%, respectively. Meanwhile, the flocculation activities of ethanol precipitation was less than its culture, were 12.78% from medium 1 and 24.93% from medium 2.

Abstrak: Bioflocculant is a natural flocculant from secretion product of microorganism that is polysaccharide, protein, glycoprotein, and nucleic acid. Source of bioflocculant used in this study is activated sludge from soy sauce industry PT. XXX. This study aims to analyze produce bioflocculant from industrial activated sludge with the isolation microb method and polysaccharide synthesis using acid method. The isolation microb method revealed that there are potential isolates that could floculate the suspension of kaolin by more than 60% in ten minutes which is isolates CMC-1 (78.36%). Isolate CMC-1 is identified as cellulolytic bacteria. Bioflocculant production using acid to catch polysaccharide resulted in only 53.92% flocculation effectivity but it is lower cost, more quickly, and easy to apply in industry. The selected bioflocculant is then tested for water and wastewater treatment. Research results showed the bioflocculant flocculation effectivity of 43.49% for river water and of 29.93% for wastewater. Addition of coagulant with specific dose can help bioflocculant increase flocculating effectivity.

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.
