Abstrak: The aim of the study was to isolate and characterize the growth of low pH tolerant-microbes being able to degrade and utilize organic acid extracted from peatsoil. Among 39 strains of fungi, bacteria and yeast isolated from various sources that grown at pH 3.8, strain FS2 was found to be the best isolate to degrade organic acid including p-hydroxybenzoic acid and increase pH-medium up to 5.9 within 36 hour. The optimum degradation of organic acid and pH increment were achieved when FS2 was grown on the medium containing 33.1 mN-NaOH organic acid, 2 g/l (NH4)2SO4, 0.5 g yeast extract, 1 g/liter KH2PO4, and 0.5 g/l MgSO47H2O at initial pH of 3.8. The maximum growth rate as observed by rate of organic acid comsumption and its pH increment were achieved at 6 to 12 hour of fermentation. The results revealed that an acid-tolerant strain FS2 was a prominent strain that is able to degrade organic acid and subsequently increase pH at high rate.

Abstrak: The low availability and easily fixed phosphorus (P) in soil resulted in heavy and continuous P fertilization by farmers, leading to accumulation of residue-P in soil. In such condition, further P fertilization will not result in higher plant productivity known as leveling off. One way to increase the availability of residual P in soil is to add organic matter. There are various forms of P in the soil, from soluble to unavailable phosphorus can also be differenciated as inorganic and organic forms, where the sum of both referred as total-P. The objective of this research was to study the changes of slow-available phosphorus fraction in a submerged soil ameliorated with organic matter effect of organic matter (extracted with 0.1 M NaOH). Research unit was 200 g (oven-dry, 105°C) in a 10 cm pot. The soil was treated with 0, 500, 750, 1000, 2000, and 5000 kg/ha, and submerged for 5 weeks. Every week for 5 weeks, subsample of each research unit was extracted for determination of NaOH-P following Tiessen and Moir 1993 procedure. The results showed that in general NaOH-Pi, NaOH-Po, and NaOH-Pt increase with increasing organic matter treatments. There was a dynamic pattern of NaOH-Pt, NaOH-Pi, and NaOH-Po with the time of submersion, in which in general NaOH-P initially decreased, increased, then finally decreased.

Judul: Bird Trade Via E-commerce in Indonesia
Abstrak: Kemajuan teknologi mempermudah perdagangan satwa liar, termasuk burung. Penelitian ini mengidentifikasi jenis burung yang diperdagangkan, mengkategorikan produk yang dijual, kota dan kabupaten di Indonesia yang paling banyak menjual, serta menduga nilai ekonomi burung yang diperdagangkan secara daring melalui e-commerce. Pengumpulan data dilakukan selama 4 bulan melalui web scraping dengan mengumpulkan informasi seperti nama toko, barang yang dijual (perlengkapan, obat, awetan satwa, aksesoris, dan replika burung), asal, dan barang yang terjual. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian terdapat 411 jenis burung yang dijual dengan pembagian 211 jenis burung Indonesia dan 161 jenis burung asing di 32 daerah di Indonesia. Ordo Passeriformes menjadi jenis burung dominan dengan total penjualan 152 jenis burung endemik dan 69 jenis burung asing. Hasil analisis menunjukkan terdapat 47 jenis burung dilindungi oleh permen LHK No. 106 Tahun 2018, 32 jenis burung masuk kategori IUCN (8 VU, 16 EN, dan 8 CR), serta 66 jenis burung masuk status konservasi CITES (12 App. I, 49 App. II, dan 5 App. III). Total ekonomi yang didapatkan adalah Rp2.079.824.611 dari tahun 2015 hingga 2023., Technological advances make it easier to trade wild animals, including birds. This research identifies the types of birds traded, categorizes the products sold, the cities and districts in Indonesia that sell the most, and estimates the economic value of birds traded online through e-commerce. Data collection was carried out for 4 months via web scraping by collecting information such as shop name, goods sold (equipment, medicine, preserved animals, accessories, and bird replicas), origin, and goods sold. Based on the research results, there are 411 types of birds for sale, divided into 211 types of Indonesian birds and 161 types of foreign birds in 32 regions of Indonesia. The Passeriformes order is the dominant bird species, with total sales of 152 endemic bird species and 69 foreign bird species. The analysis results show that there are 47 bird species protected by LHK regulation no. 106 of 2018, 32 bird species are included in the IUCN category (8 VU, 16 EN, and 8 CR), and 66 bird species are included in CITES conservation status (12 App. I, 49 App. II, and 5 App. III). The total economic gain is IDR 2.079.824.611 from 2015 to 2023.
