The West Sumatra, Indonesia, mascot plant is called Andalas (Morus macroura Miq.). This plant belongs to the Moraceae family, which has a long history of being used medicinally. The goal of this study was to evaluate the Andalas ethanol extract's potential to prevent the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. The Andalas stems and roots were subjected to the ethanol extraction process. A completely randomized design (CRD) was utilized to determine the ideal concentration of ethanol extracts of Andalas roots and stems for suppressing test microorganisms. In this investigation, there were four different extract concentrations used as treatments: 3.12 percent, 6.25 percent, 12.50 percent, and 25 percent. The paper disc diffusion method was used to conduct antimicrobial activity testing on the test microorganisms (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans). The outcomes revealed that the. The extract's potential mechanisms for exerting antibacterial activity against both of the studied microorganisms include flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, terpenoids, and tannins.
All sea turtles are listed as endangered and critically endangered by IUCN Red List due to human consumption and lifestyle. In West Sumatra, Pasir Jambak Beach is an important habitat for nesting of sea turtles, but human activities in this area becomes serious threats for sea turtles. Based on our interview, the local people of Pasir Jambak still consume the sea turtle eggs and mistaken for the effect of this egg to human. During our activity, we share our knowledge especially to the children of Pasir Jambak, hoping that they will not continue the habit of consuming the sea turtle egg, and become more concerned to the conservation of sea turtle around them. All of us were responsible for the rapid decline of sea turtle populations. We also take an action for cleaning the Pasir Jambak beach from the plastic trash and released the Tukik (juvenile) to help increasing the sea turtle population in nature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
