ISOLASI DAN UJI ANTIBAKTERI DARI BAKTERI YANG BERASOSIASI DENGAN SPONS Phyllospongia lamellose SERTA IDENTIFIKASI SECARA BIOKIMIA
ABSTRACT Sponges are one source of producing bioactive components from the sea. Bacteria Symbiosis with sponges are thought to have the potential to produce bioactive compounds that have been isolated from sponges. One of the potential of bioactive compounds which have been found and developed from sponges was antibacterial. The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of bacteria associated with Phyllospongia lamellose sponges against pathogenic bacteria namely Staphylococcus aureus and Esherichia coli and then proceed with identification of biochemistry in isolates which showed the greatest inhibitory activity. Three isolates of sponges symbiont bacteria were obtained through the isolation and purification stage which were then followed by testing of antibacterial activity with paper disk diffusion method. The antibacterial test results showed the diameter of the inhibitory zone against Staphylococcus aureus, were: SL1(8.67 mm), SL2 (9.33 mm) and SL3(9.00 mm) categorized as medium. Whereas the inhibiotion zone shown on Esherichia coli bacteria is also classified as medium, were: SL1(9.67 mm), SL2 (9.00 mm) and SL3 (9.33 mm). The three isolates continued to the identification stage biochemically. Each isolation was assumed as follows: Desulfotomaculum (SL1), Brochothrix (SL2) and Sulfidobacillus (SL3).

Bakteri yang bersimbiosis dengan spons diduga memiliki potensi dalam menghasilkan senyawa-senyawa bioaktif yang telah diisolasi dari spons. Potensi senyawa bioaktif yang telah ditemukan dan dikembangkan dari spons salah satunya ialah sebagai antibakteri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui aktivitas antibakteri dari bakteri yang berasosiasi dengan spons Phyllospongia lamellose terhadap bakteri patogen yakni Staphylococcus aureus dan Escherichia coli dan kemudian dilanjutkan dengan identifikasi secara biokimia pada isolat yang menunjukkan daya hambat terbesar. Diperoleh 3 isolat bakteri simbion spons melalui tahap isolasi dan purifikasi yang kemudian dilanjutkan dengan pengujian aktivitas antibakteri melalui metode difusi kertas cakram. Hasil uji antibakteri menunjukkan diameter zona hambat terhadap bakteri Staphylococcus aureus yaitu: SL1(8.67 mm), SL2(9.33 mm) dan SL3 (9.00 mm) termasuk dalam kategori sedang. Sedangkan zona hambat yang ditunjukkan terhadap bakteri Escherichia coli juga tergolong kategori sedang yaitu: SL1(9.67 mm), SL2(9.00 mm) dan SL3 (9.33 mm). Ketiga isolat dilanjutkan ke tahap identifikasi secara biokimia. Masing-masing isolat diduga sebagai berikut: Desulfotomaculum (SL1), Brochothrix (SL2) dan Sulfidobacillus (SL3).

The interaction between colloids in polar mixtures above Tc
We calculate the interaction potential between two colloids immersed in an
aqueous mixture containing salt near or above the critical temperature. We find
an attractive interaction far from the coexistence curve due to the combination
of preferential solvent adsorption at the colloids' surface and preferential
ion solvation. We show that the ion-specific interaction strongly depends on
the amount of salt added as well as on the mixture composition. Our results are
in accord with recent experiments. For a highly antagonistic salt of
hydrophilic anions and hydrophobic cations, a repulsive interaction at an
intermediate inter-colloid distance is predicted even though both the
electrostatic and adsorption forces alone are attractive.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure

No-splitting property and boundaries of random groups
We prove that random groups in the Gromov density model, at any density,
satisfy property (FA), i.e. they do not act non-trivially on trees. This
implies that their Gromov boundaries, defined at density less than 1/2, are
Menger curves.Comment: 20 page
Shot noise suppression at room temperature in atomic-scale Au junctions
Shot noise encodes additional information not directly inferable from simple
electronic transport measurements. Previous measurements in atomic-scale metal
junctions at cryogenic temperatures have shown suppression of the shot noise at
particular conductance values. This suppression demonstrates that transport in
these structures proceeds via discrete quantum channels. Using a high frequency
technique, we simultaneously acquire noise data and conductance histograms in
Au junctions at room temperature and ambient conditions. We observe noise
suppression at up to three conductance quanta, with possible indications of
current-induced local heating and noise in the contact region at high
biases. These measurements demonstrate the quantum character of transport at
room temperature at the atomic scale. This technique provides an additional
tool for studying dissipation and correlations in nanodevices.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures + supporting information (6 pages, 6 figures
Radiasi Medan Elektromagnetik pada Jangkauan Frekuensi Sangat Rendah (Extremely Low Frequency) di Lingkungan Kampus Universitas PGRI Yogyakarta
Kekhawatiran masyarakat mengenai dampak negatif yang ditimbulkan dari paparan radiasi elektromagnetik
ini masih terus diteliti hingga saat ini. Oleh karena itu, sangat perlu dilakukan suatu studi penelitian untuk
mengukur dan memetakan tingkat radiasi elektromagnetik dengan tujuan menganalisis potensi risiko yang
terjadi. Paparan radiasi elektromagnetik diukur menggunakan electromagnetic field tester, kemudian
hasilnya dibandingkan dengan pedoman keselamatan yang dikeluarkan oleh ICNIRP dan WHO. Hasil yang
diperoleh bahwa tingkat paparan radiasi yang diukur dalam satuan mikrotesla di 29 titik lokasi di
Universitas PGRI Yogyakarta jauh di bawah pedoman ICNIRP untuk lingkungan pendidikan dan kerja.
Nilai medan magnet terukur tertinggi adalah 132,46 μT, sedangkan nilai medan magnet terukur terendah
adalah 1,436 μT. Medan magnet diatas 0,3 hingga 0,4 μT dapat meningkatkan risiko leukimia dalam jangka
panjang. Penelitian ini telah menghasilkan informasi yang bermanfaat sebagai dasar pengambilan kebijakan

Counting statistics in multiple path geometries and the fluctuations of the integrated current in a quantum stirring device
The amount of particles that are transported via a path of motion is
characterized by its expectation value and by its variance . We
analyze what happens if a particle has two optional paths available to get from
one site to another site, and in particular what is for the current
which is induced in a quantum stirring device. It turns out that coherent
splitting and the stirring effect are intimately related and cannot be
understood within the framework of the prevailing probabilistic theory.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, published version, Latex Eq# correcte
Observing the universal screening of a Kondo impurity
The Kondo effect, deriving from a local magnetic impurity mediating
electron-electron interactions, constitutes a flourishing basis for
understanding a large variety of intricate many-body problems. Its experimental
implementation in tunable circuits has made possible important advances through
well-controlled investigations. However, these have mostly concerned transport
properties, whereas thermodynamic observations - notably the fundamental
measurement of the spin of the Kondo impurity - remain elusive in test-bed
circuits. Here, with a novel combination of a "charge" Kondo circuit with a
charge sensor, we directly observe the state of the impurity and its
progressive screening. We establish the universal renormalization flow from a
single free spin to a screened singlet, the associated reduction in the
magnetization, and the relationship between scaling Kondo temperature and
microscopic parameters. In our device, a Kondo pseudospin is realized by two
degenerate charge states of a metallic island, which we measure with a
non-invasive, capacitively coupled charge sensor. Such pseudospin probe of an
engineered Kondo system opens the way to the thermodynamic investigation of
many exotic quantum states, including the clear observation of Majorana zero
modes through their fractional entropy
