Judul: Prioritas Pengembangan Hutan Kota di Jakarta Selatan
Abstrak: South Jakarta is one of the densely populated municipality in DKI Jakarta. Increased urbanization causes degraded lands green space that will lead to environmental degradation such as air pollution and rising temperatures. Urban forest is one of green space that is capable of restoring the balance and healthy urban environment. Criteria in the selection of priority areas using the variable surface temperature and air pollutants and classified by three classes of priority. Urban forest priority location is the availability of green space that goes into the priority class . The results of this study indicate priority areas in the first class of 1269.86 ha ( 8.72 % ) , the second class of 7076.55 ha ( 48.61 % ) and the third class of 6210.03 ha ( 42.66 % ) . The availability of green space that was in the first priority class of 77.96 Ha , the second class of 327.57 Ha and class of 983.61 Ha . Total green space can not be found to reach 10 % of the South Jakarta areas because land limitation and convertion land use.

Judul: Prioritas Pengembangan Ruang Terbuka Hijau berdasarkan Perubahan Distribusi Suhu Udara di DKI Jakarta
Abstrak: Permasalahan lingkungan yang dihadapi oleh DKI Jakarta salah satunya disebabkan oleh menurunnya kualitas Ruang Terbuka Hijau (RTH). Hutan kota sebagai salah satu bentuk ruang terbuka hijau berperan dalam ameliorasi iklim mikro. Hutan kota dapat menurunkan suhu permukaan. Suhu permukaan memiliki keterkaitan dengan suhu udara sehingga dapat digunakan untuk menduga nilai suhu udara. Hutan kota menyerap panas dan menurunkan suhu udara melalui mekanisme transpirasi. Selama tahun 2001-2014 pepohonan di Jakarta mengalami penurunan luasan sekitar 5.1% sementara lahan terbangun meningkat sekitar 13%. Keadaan ini mengakibatkan suhu permukaan meningkat 2-4 °C sedangkan suhu udara meningkat 2-3 °C. Prioritas pengembangan ruang terbuka hijau dalam bentuk hutan kota tidak hanya dilakukan pada lahan-lahan publik tetapi juga dilakukan pada lahan-lahan privat.

Judul: Heterologous Expression Of Endo-Β-Xylanase From Bacillus Pumilus Strain Bcrs-01 In Escherichia Coli.
Abstrak: Xylanases are glycoside hydrolase family 11 which depolymerise xylan in the plant cell wall, the most excessive form of hemicellulose. Endo-β-xylanases (EC 3.2.1.8) are most important to breakdown β-1,4-glicoside bond of xylan to produce disaccaride xyloolygosaccaride (XOs) and xylose (monomer). Bovine rumen fluids have potential to obtain endo-β-xylanase produced of bacteria. The objectives of this study were to obtain xylanase producing bacteria and to express xynA gene encoding endo-β-xylanase from bacterium in Escherichia coli. Twenty nine isolate bacteria have been succesfully isolated from bovine rumen fluid in agar medium containing birchwood xylan. Isolate BCRS-01 bacterium was previously screened for the high production of xylanase. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, BCRS-01 showed high similarity (99%) to Bacillus pumilus (accession number NR043241). The crude xylanase had optimal activity at 55oC, pH 7.0. Furthermore, the crude xylanase exhibited broad pH stability from 4.0 to 10.0 and remained more than 60% and 40% of its activity after incubation at pH 4.0 until 10.0, respectively for 60 min. It also showed a stability at temperature 25-50oC since it retained 80% and 50% of its activity when incubated at 50oC or 30 and 60 min, respectively. The xylanase activity was strongly inhibited by Ca2+ and Cu2+ at concentration 10 mM, and as little as 1 mM for Mn2+. Therefore, this xylanase has potentially used as additive feeds in animal feed industry. The DNA sequence xynA gene encoded endo-β-xylanase was amplified and cloned into the expression vector pET-15by under the control of T7 promoter. The recombinant protein had succesfully expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS. A protein recombinant of approximately, 26.7 kDa was observed on the SDS-PAGE analysis. Crude extract of recombinant endo-β-xylanase demonstrated activity of enzyme at 56 U mL-1 using birchwood xylan as a substrate at 55oC for 10 min.
