Aligning the sustainability effort of the Saguling Hydroelectric Power Plant (PLTA), Bandung Barat Regency, this study was conducted to understand the aquatic ecosystem balance through the diversity and community structure of the fish on those area. Data collection was conducted in July-September 2024 on 6 stations, which includes the environmental and fish diversity data through active method by direct capture and VES (Visual Encounter Survey), and also passive method through trapping and observation to the fish caught by fishermen or local residents. Data analysis was carried out through…

Caulerpa racemosa is an edible green macroalga rich in chlorophyll. pH is a key environmental factor influencing seaweed performance, including growth and chlorophyll content. This study tested how pH affects growth and chlorophyll a in C. racemosa and identified the optimal pH. Experiments were conducted from November 2024 to January 2025 at the Center for Brackish Water Aquaculture (BBPBAP), Jepara, Central Java, using a completely randomised design with four treatments and three replicates: P0 (ambient pH), P1 (pH 8.25), P2 (pH 8.00), and P3 (pH 7.75). The highest biomass gain occurred at…

Lamiaceae, widely used as herbal medicine, is increasingly vulnerable to adulteration driven by market demand, compromising product safety and efficacy. Prevention is challenging due to morphological similarities; thus, DNA-based phylogenetics offer an alternative for accurate species authentication. However, Lamiaceae phylogenetics remain complicated by inconsistencies between morphological and DNA data. This study reconstructed Lamiaceae phylogeny using partial ITS, matK, and rbcL barcodes to evaluate their potential application in species authentication and adulteration prevention.…

Tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) is one of the featured products in Kalimantan Utara that still apply organic or traditional pond methods. Currently, production tiger shrimp has decreased due to a disease caused by Vibrio harveyi bacteria, which causes luminescent Vibrio disease or Vibriosis. Antibiotics are commonly used to treat this disease, but prolonged administration can lead to bacterial resistance The use of natural ingredients is an alternative solution to replace antibiotics, one of which is seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezii). This study aims to determine the in-vitro inhibitory effect…

Strategic alliances play a pivotal role in the innovation-driven and uncertain landscape of the biotechnology industry. This study consolidates fragmented insights through a systematic literature review (SLR) of 161 peer-reviewed articles (1985–2025), following the PRISMA framework and combining bibliometric and thematic analyses. The review maps intellectual structures, thematic clusters, and geographical trends. Findings show that the field is anchored in innovation, biotechnology, and strategic planning, with strong contributions from the United States, while areas such as agricultural…

Dental and oral care products often contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), which can cause allergic reactions and mucosal infection. Biosurfactants (BS) and cinnamon essential oil (CEO) are safer alternatives due to their antimicrobial properties. This study screens BS form five bacterial isolates, CEO, and their nanoemulsions prepared by low-energy method (NEL) and high- energy method (NEH) for inhibiting oral pathogens. Results showed that BS from Bacillus altitudinis were most effective against Candida albicans, while BS from Bacillus siamensis were most effective against Streptococcus…
