Biodiversitas 24: 4549-4557. The use of a drone to census waterbirds has been increasingly popular. However, study on the waterbird’s behavioral response to the drone was still limited. The objective of this study is to reveal the response of the breeding milky stork Mycteria cinerea to the drone as a new and safer tool for collecting breeding behavior data. Factors that influence the success of the observation by using a drone were also identified and a set of recommendations was formulated. The research was conducted during the breeding season of the milky stork in Pulau Rambut, a small island in Jakarta Bay, between December 2022 and March 2023. Three types of drones were tested in the pilot study, and eventually, a small manually piloted drone (Syma X25 Pro) was found to be more appropriate for behavioral study. The bird response to the drone (no, neutral, temporary, negative response) was observed through a combination of various distances and angles of the drone to the nest trees. Despite the weather obstacles, this study suggested that the milky stork mostly (17 out of 20 trials) showed no response or neutral response to the drone. Some temporary responses were detected due to some accidental events, including a sudden launch of the drone. In conclusion, a small-size, easy-to-maneuver drone that produces low noise and mild wind can be used by using a manual pilot mode to study the breeding behavior of milky storks or other similar waterbird species.","PeriodicalId":8894,"journal":{"name":"Biodiversitas","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136363587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ubaidillah M, Thamrin N, Cahyani FI, Fitriyah D. 2023. Bioremediation potential of rhizosphere bacterial consortium in lead (Pb) contaminated rice plants. Biodiversitas 24: 4566-4571. Lead (Pb) is one of the toxic heavy metals detected in various chemical fertilizers and pesticides used in Indonesia. These chemicals can increase plant lead (Pb) accumulation and affect other organisms through its circulation with food chain. Excess amounts of Pb in soil may be remediated using different approaches such as bioremediation. Rhizosphere bacteria can be used as bioremediation agents to reduce Pb accumulation in plants and also increase plant growth. Actinomycetes, Azotobacter sp., Azospirillum sp., Rhizobium sp., Pseudomonas sp., Lactobacillus sp., Bacillus sp., and Streptomyces sp. are some of the several bacteria that can reduce lead (Pb) accumulation in plants by the ability to sequester Pb, change its oxidation state, or enable Pb to precipitate. This research was conducted to determine the ability of the rhizosphere bacterial consortium to prevent lead (Pb) accumulation in rice plants. This study confirmed that the application of rhizosphere bacterial consortium to rice plants contaminated with lead (Pb) can reduce the plant's lead (Pb) content by up to 45%. The use of a bacterial consortium did not significantly affect the growth parameters of the plant but increased root length by 41%, fresh weight by 32%, dry weight by 26%, and chlorophyll content by 25%, in rice plants contaminated with Pb.","PeriodicalId":8894,"journal":{"name":"Biodiversitas","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135364036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Distribution of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi (AM Fungi) in different plants within tailings deposition areas of Freeport Indonesia, Timika, Central Papua, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 4515-4522. This study investigated the presence of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi (AM Fungi) in various vegetation types within tailings deposition areas in Freeport Timika, Papua. Soil and root samples were collected from 41 sampling locations, representing 28 types of vegetation growing in these areas. AM Fungi spores were extracted using the wet sieving technique, while root samples were cleaned, stained, and analyzed for the percentage of root infection using the gridlines method. Some soil characteristics were also analyzed, including pH (H2O), moisture content, organic carbon (C), Total nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), and soil texture. The study showed low total soil N and P levels, with organic C ranging from low to high and a pH range from 6 to 6.7. The spore number ranged from 2 to 20 spores/10 g soil, and the percentage of root colonization varied from 17 to 89.5%. The highest number of spores (20 spores/10 g soil) was found in the rhizosphere of Homalanthus sp. and Polyalthia glauca, while the highest percentage of root colonization (89.5%) was observed under Pandanus sp. at Upper ADA. Notably, the highest number of spores did not correspond to the highest percentage of infected roots. Additionally, four genera of AM Fungi, namely Glomus, Acaulospora, Scuttelospora and Gigaspora, were found to thrive in tailings areas and have the potential to be developed as biofertilizers for tailings rehabilitation programs.","PeriodicalId":8894,"journal":{"name":"Biodiversitas","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135364032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biodiversitas 24: 4558-4565. UB Forest, an educational forest of Universitas Brawijaya in Malang, East Java, has a mega-biodiversity of microbial germplasm. Previously, we obtained several UB Forest indigenous bacterial isolates and tested them on various plant commodities. However, the comprehensive characterization of the bacteria to produce IAA hormone, to overcome biotic and abiotic stresses as well as their potency as biofertilizers in vitro has not been carried out yet. In this study, we conducted in vitro assays to elucidate the potency of UB Forest indigenous bacterial isolates as Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB). The molecular identification showed that the bacterial strains were dominated by the Pseudomonads, namely Pseudomonas versuta UB-36, P. aeruginosa UB-52, P. lundensis UB-53, P. migulae UB-54, and P. koreensis UB-62. Other strains were Enterococcus gallinarum UB-55 and Lysinibacillus fusiformis UB-64. Of the 7 bacterial strains, only 3 could inhibit Xanthomonas campestris. All bacterial strains were able to produce IAA, whereas five bacteria can solubilize phosphate, six bacteria can fix nitrogen, and four bacteria have both activities. All bacterial strains can grow at pH 5-6, salinity 5-15%, temperature 60°C, and 15% polyethylene glycol (PEG) drought stress media. The results suggested that the UB Forest indigenous bacterial strains have a role as plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) and are expected to support the growth of plants grown under biotic and abiotic stress conditions.","PeriodicalId":8894,"journal":{"name":"Biodiversitas","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135452918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biodiversitas 24: 4572-4580. Probiotics are living microorganisms or bioactive agents that positively impact animal digestion. They have successfully isolated from various sources. Recently, we isolated and characterized lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from slender walking fish (Clarias nieuhofii Valenciennes, 1840). The fish sample was obtained from Batu Rusa and Paya Benua Rivers in Bangka Island, Indonesia. LAB was isolated from the fish intestine using the pour plate method. The isolated LAB was then characterized based on their phenotypic traits, biochemical properties, and the 16S rRNA gene identification. The chosen isolates were tested to determine their ability to produce lactic acid, hemolytic and antibacterial activity, and antibiotic resistance. All isolates have the characteristic of rod-shaped and short rod-shaped cells with Gram-positive properties. Isolate KP1 showed the number of populations (2.89 x 107 CFU/mL) and lactic acid production with a concentration of 1.85%. All isolates exhibited no hemolysis activity and displayed sensitivity to antibiotics. The twelve lactic acid bacteria formed clear zones against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The results of the 16S rRNA gene identification indicated that isolates KB4, KB7, KB8, and KP1 belong to Lactobacillus vaginalis, Lactobacillus fermentum, Limosilactobacillus fermentum, and Levilactobacillus brevis, respectively. Lactic acid bacteria isolated from slender walking fish exhibited potential probiotic traits.","PeriodicalId":8894,"journal":{"name":"Biodiversitas","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135452919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microalgae diversity in varying habitat characteristics in Pasuruan and Sidoarjo coastal areas, East Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 4418-4426. Microalgae are microscopic eukaryotic organisms which live in various types of habitats. The purpose of this study was to identify the types and the abundance of microalgae in several sub-habitats, namely sediments, mangroves, water columns, and artificial substrates; and to analyze the environmental factors that affect the abundance of microalgae. The research was conducted in several sites in the coastal areas in Pasuruan and Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia. A quantitative descriptive method was applied with data collection used a purposive sampling method. Samples were collected using net for planktonic microalgae and using sampling plot for epiphytic and benthic microalgae. The microalgae were grouped using NMDS (non-metric multidimensional scaling) and the relationships between microalgae abundance and water quality parameters were analyzed using CCA (canonical correspondence analysis). The results show that Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae, and Chlorophyceae classes were found in all study sites, but Trebouxiophyceae and Dinophyceae were only found in Pasuruan Beach. The highest abundance of microalgae was found in sediment habitat in Wughoyo Beach, Sidoarjo with 706,605 ind. cm-2. The diversity, the evenness, and the dominance index in both coastal areas ranged from 1.43-2.61; 0.71-0.96; and 0.06-0.27, respectively. Similarity analysis using the NMDS showed that there was no similarity among the three sites, suggesting each site had high microalgal variation. The CCA analysis showed that Bacillariophyceae were found in all sites, indicating its high adaptability. The results of this analysis imply that particular habitat has a unique microalgae diversity, thus preserving diverse habitat types is important.","PeriodicalId":8894,"journal":{"name":"Biodiversitas","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134948459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Atikah TA, Purwanti EW. 2023. The effect of peat soil and sandy soil on the growth of Eleutherine palmifolia and arbuscular mycorrhizal diversity. Biodiversitas 24: 4373-4381. Arbuscular mycorrhizae as root symbionts is capable of inducing plant growth on marginal lands. It has the potential to be used as fertilizer or soil enhancer. Mycorrhizae are commonly found in peat soils endemic to the island of Borneo. Peat soil contains a lot of organic matter needed by mycorrhizae. The development of plant roots also influences the process of mycorrhizal colonization. Apart from functioning as fertilizer, mycorrhizae is associated with Dayak shallot (Eleutherine palmifolia Merr.; syn.: Sisyrinchium palmifolium L.) roots can also overcome fusarium wilt disease. This study aimed to explore the potential of peat soil to support the growth of E. palmifolia 's and to identify mycorrhizal colonization associated with the plant. Two soil types were used for planting E. palmifolia: peat and sand. Parameters observed were plant height, number of leaves, morphospecies and each population of arbuscular mycorrhizae. The plant growth data were tabulated and analyzed with an analysis of variance, and the population of arbuscular mycorrhizae was analyzed for the level of similarity in the structure of species. The results showed that peat soil promoted the growth of E. palmifolia better than sandy soil. The similarity value of mycorrhizal species structure was 28.7%. It means that the structure of mycorrhizal species on peat were differed that on sand media. Mycorrhizae successfully explored from sandy soil were 10 morpho-species with a population of 1.441 spores, while mycorrhizae from peat soil contained 6 morphospecies with a population of 462 spores.","PeriodicalId":8894,"journal":{"name":"Biodiversitas","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134948626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We researched morphological studies using (45 colony bees in 5 main regions in various geographical and climatic zone environmental conditions. The obtained data were compared with the Apis mellifera carnica reference samples, Apis mellifera caucasica, and Apis mellifera mellifera. Morphometric identification was carried out using 19 landmarks by IdentiFly software. Almost all colonies showed belonging to the lineage C (about 85%), by subspecies to A. m. carnica, A. m. caucasica showed 11%, A. m. mellifera belonged to only 4%. Furthermore, using multivariate principal component analysis compared honeybee lineages between reference samples. There were significant differences in wing landmarks between lineages and subspecies (Mahalanobis square distance). By Mahalanobis, distances between the evolutionary lineages M differ from line C by 15.93 and from line O by 19.03 units. In contrast, the distance between lines C and O is insignificant, with satisfactory reliability. The forewing wing size evaluated centroid size, which showed the highest degree of honeybees in the west and south Kazakhstan zones. The percentage of variation in wing centroids was relatively small between analyzed samples (less than 1%) but extremely changed for reference samples A. m. carnica, A. m. caucasica, A. m. mellifera, where log centroid sizes showed 1.33%, 4.18%, and 4.67%, respectively.

This study aimed to provide baseline information on the environmental and biological profiles of bamboo species in Cagayan Province, Philippines. Study sites were visited for bamboo morphological characterization using character states. Leaves were collected for qualitative phytochemical screening of 10 secondary metabolites and DNA sequencing using the rbcL plastid gene. The 28 accessions of Bambusa, Dendrocalamus, Dinochloa, Gigantochloa, Guadua, Melocanna, Phyllostachys, Schizostachyum, and Thyrsostachys were characterized and these bamboos were growing in forests, coastal or sparsely vegetated lands, urban, freshwater, grasslands, and agricultural ecosystems. Bamboo species distinctiveness’ was described through identification keys on growth habit, culm internode, nodal structure, young shoot, and flowering incidence. The bamboos contain coumarins, saponins, steroids, and terpenoids, while quinones are absent. DNA sequencing using rbcL was effective in the identification of Bambusa vulgaris species and unknown bamboo at the species level. Dendrocalamus, Guadua, Melocanna, and Schizostachyum species were successfully identified by rbcL at the genus level. Most of the species were identified as Dendrocalamus species with rbcL.
