"Telah dilakukan penelitian tentang jasa ekosistem pengendalian hama serangga oleh burung terhadap bibit tanaman kelapa sawit di FMIPA UI. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis spesies burung insektivora yang memberikan jasa ekosistem pengendalian hama serangga kepada bibit tanaman kelapa sawit di FMIPA UI. Penelitian dilakukan dengan mengelompokan 10 bibit kelapa sawit menjadi 2 kelompok dengan perlakuan yang berbeda, yaitu perlakuan bird exclosure dan perlakuan kontrol. Setelah itu, dipilih 15 helai daun secara acak pada tiap bibitnya, baik yang sempurna maupun tidak, dan diberikan tanda menggunakan spidol permanen. Tiap daun yang sudah diberi tanda difoto secara digital, dan tingkat herbivora untuk tiap bibit dihitung berdasarkan proporsi rata-rata luas helai daun yang hilang per anak daun per hari. Luas helai daun dihitung dengan perangkat lunak ImageJ. Pengamatan burung dilakukan menggunakan metode point count selama 3 minggu waktu penelitian. Data yang didapat disusun ke dalam tabel, dan dilakukan hitung uji untuk hasil analisis. Analisis perbedaan tingkat herbivori perlakuan bird exclosure dan control dilakukan dengan menggunakan Uji U. Analisis korelasi antara jumlah individu spesies burung dan tingkat herbivori dihitung menggunakan analisis non-parametrik Spearman's Rank. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa ditemukan 6 spesies burung, antara lain Gereja eurasia (Passer montanus), Walet linci (Collocalia linchi), Cucak kutilang (Pycnonotus aurigaster), Nectarinidae, Tekukur biasa (Streptopelia chinensis), serta Cinenen jawa (Orthotomus sepium) dan 2 di antaranya adalah insektivora, yaitu Walet linci (Collocalia linchi) dan Cinenen jawa (Orthotomus sepium) . Tingkat herbivori bibit kelapa sawit kontrol berkisar pada nilai 0,005 sampai 0,303, dan tingkat herbivori pada kelapa sawit bird exclosure berkisar pada nilai 0,013 sampai 0,295. Hasil uji U menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan nyata antara tingkat herbivori bird exclosure dan kontrol, dan hasil uji korelasi Spearman menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada korelasi kuat antara tingkat herbivori dengan jumlah individu untuk semua spesies burung.

A Research about the ecosystem services of controlling insect pests by birds on oil palm seedlings at FMIPA UI has been conducted. The purpose of this research is to analyze insectivore bird species’ that provide insect pest control to oil palm experimental seedlings at FMIPA UI. The research was done by grouping 10 experimental palm oil seeds into 2 groups with different treatments, namely bird exposure treatment and control treatment. After that, 15 leaves were randomly selected from each seedling, whether perfect or not, and marked using a permanent marker. Each tagged leaf was digitally photographed, and the herbivory level for each seedling was calculated based on the average proportion of leaf area lost per leaflet per day. Leaf blade area was calculated using ImageJ software. Bird observations were carried out using the point count method during the 3 weeks of research. The data obtained was arranged into a table, and an unique test was calculated for the results of the analysis. Analysis of the difference of herbivory rate in the bird exclosure treatment was done by using the U Test. Correlation analysis between the number of individual bird species and the level of herbivory was calculated using non-parametric Spearman's Rank analysis. The results showed that 6 species of birds were found, among them are Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus), Cave swiflet (Collocalia linchi), Sooty-headed bulbul (Pycnonotus aurigaster), Nectarinidae, Spotted Dove (Streptopelia chinensis), and Olive-backed tailorbird (Orthotomus sepium) and 2 of them are insectivores, namely Cave swiflet (Collocalia linchi) and Olive-backed tailorbird (Orthotomus sepium). The herbivory level of control oil palm plants ranged from 0.005 to 0.303, and the herbivory level of the bird exposed oil palms ranged from 0.013 to 0.295. The U test results from the research showed that There is no difference between the herbivori rate in bird exclosure and control, and the Spearman correlation test results showed that there was no correlation between the level of herbivory and the number of individuals for all bird species."

"Penelitian bertujuan mengisolasi dan mengidentifikasi khamir phylloplane Broussonetia papyrifera asal Bandung (Dago Pojok), Garut (Tunggilis dan Sukadanu), dan Trowulan, menguji kemampuan khamir antagonis dari daun B. papyrifera asal Desa Sukadanu dan Desa Tunggilis, Garut, Jawa Barat yang berpotensi sebagai agens biokontrol terhadap kapang-kapang penyebab kebusukan pada buah tomat pascapanen serta mengetahui viabilitas khamir setelah dipreservasi pada suhu -80 oC. Sebanyak 2.543 isolat khamir diperoleh dari empat wilayah sampling menggunakan metode washing dan membrane filter method. Pemilihan 82 isolat khamir representatif berdasarkan kemiripan morfologi koloni. Identifikasi khamir dilakukan berdasarkan sequence pada daerah internal transcribed spacer regions ribosomal DNA. Hasil identifikasi menunjukkan bahwa isolat khamir tersebut terdiri atas 17 genera dan 32 spesies: sebanyak 11 genera termasuk ke dalam Ascomycota (Saccharomycetes dan Dothidiomycetes), dan sebanyak enam genera termasuk Basidiomycota (Tremellomycetes, Microbotryomycetes, dan Ustilaginomycetes). Tiga kapang representatif berdasarkan hasil isolasi dari buah tomat dan uji patogenitas dapat menyebabkan kebusukan pada buah tomat pascapanen, yaitu Alternaria alternata, Lasiodiplodia theobromae, dan Syncephalastrum racemosum. Enam spesies khamir antagonis dapat menghambat pertumbuhan dan sporulasi A. alternata, L. theobromae, dan Syn. racemosum yaitu Candida saopaulonensis UICC Y-492, Candida pseudojiufengensis UICC Y-475, Debaryomyces hansenii UICC Y-488, Geotrichum candidum UICC Y-495, Hyphopichia burtonii UICC Y-496, dan Rhodotorula mucilaginosa UICC Y-476. Khamir antagonis dari B. papyrifera memiliki kemampuan menghambat pertumbuhan kapang A. alternata dan L. theobromae penyebab kebusukan pada buah tomat pada suhu 26--28oC selama 15 hari inkubasi. Khamir C. pseudojiufengensis UICC Y-475 dapat menghambat pertumbuhan kapang dan gejala kebusukan pada buah tomat (100%) disebabkan kapang A. alternata.

The study was aimed to isolate and identify phylloplane yeasts from Broussonetia papyrifera plants from Bandung (Dago Pojok), Garut (Tunggilis and Sukadanu), and Trowulan; to investigate the yeasts with antagonistic abilities against moulds which attack post-harvest tomato fruits; and to observe the yeast viability after preservation at a temperature of -80 oC. Two thousand five hundred and forty-three yeast isolates were obtained using the washing method and the membrane filter method. Eighty-two representative yeast isolates were selected based on similarity of colony morphology. Identification was based on sequence data of internal transcribed spacer regions of ribosomal DNA (ITS rDNA).

The identification result showed that the 82 representative isolates were consisted of 17 genera and 32 species. Eleven of these genera are belong to Saccharomycetes and one genus belongs Dothidiomycetes (Ascomycota). Six genera are belong to Tremellomycetes, Microbotryomycetes, and Ustilaginomycetes (Basidiomycota). Three representative moulds obtained from the pathogenicity test were able to cause serious damage on post-harvest tomato fruits. These moulds were identified as, i.e. Alternaria alternata, Lasiodiplodia theobromae, and Syncephalastrum racemosum. Six antagonistic yeasts were able to inhibit growth and sporulation of post-harvest tomato moulds, i.e. Candida saopaulonensis UICC Y-492, Candida pseudojiufengensis UICC Y-475, Debaryomyces hansenii UICC Y-488, Geotrichum candidum UICC Y-495, Hyphopichia burtonii UICC Y-496, and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa UICC Y-476. The antagonistic yeasts were tested for their abilities to inhibit growth of A. alternata and L. theobromae which cause fruit rot on post-harvest tomatoes at 26--28oC for 15 days. Candida pseudojiufengensis UICC Y-475 was able to inhibit growth of A. alternata and reduce fruit rot symptoms in tomato fruit (100%). Candida saopoulenensis UICC Y-492 and Rh. mucilaginosa UICC Y-513 were able to inhibit growth of L. theobromae and reduce fruit rot symptoms in tomato fruit (67%).

The yeast viability was observed after being preserved at -80oC on day-1 (H1), day-7 (H7), day-14 (H14), day-30 (H-30), and day-180 (H-180). The results showed that all strains do not lose their viability after freezing at -80oC for 180 days. The number of cells for each strain after revival from preservation after 180 days were counted: C. pseudojiufengensis UICC Y-475 (1,08 x 108 CFU/ml), C. saopoulenensis UICC Y-492 (0,65 x 108 CFU/ml), Hyp. burtonii UICC Y-496 (1,76x 108 CFU/ml), and Rh. mucilaginosa UICC Y-513 (2,13 x 108 CFU/ml)."
