Effect of Sugar Concentrations on Bacterial Cellulose Production as Cellulose Membrane in Mixture Liquid Medium and Material Properties Analysis Faridah1, Selvie Diana2, Helmi3, M. Sami4, Mudliana5 1,2,3,4,5Faculty of Chemical Engineering, State of Polytechnic Lhokseumawe Lhokseumawe, 24301, Aceh, Indonesia Email: [email protected] Abstract— Cellulose membrane is bacterial cellulose which and can be used to separate the two components by restraining produced from the fermentation process by Acetobacter xylinum. certain components pass through the pores. Moreover, Cellulose membrane was performed in mixture liquid medium by membrane cellulose also has some advantages in the using coconut water and sugar palm juice as the base medium. separation process; the separation can be operated in In this study, different present sugar concentrations including continuous way and does not need too much energy [13]. The 0%, 7,5% and 10% were added into fermentation medium to enhance bacterial cellulose production. By adding three different first study shows that membrane cellulose from bacterial sugar concentrations, the bacterial cellulose from different sugar cellulose has high mechanical strength and highly hydrophilic concentration was made into cellulose membrane. Cellulose holding water [14]. Therefore bacterial cellulose can be membrane were tested for physical properties of cellulose performed separation membrane. membrane, such as the degree of crystallinity by x-ray diffraction In this study, membrane cellulose was produced by (XRD), water content and thermal decomposition behaviour by Acetobacter xylinum in mixture liquid medium by using TGA, scanning electron microscopy analysis (SEM), tensile coconut water and sugar palm juice as the base medium.

CONSERVATION OF USEFUL PLANTS:AN EVALUATION OF LOCAL PRIORITIES FROM TWO INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES IN EASTERN PANAMA. Economic Botany 58(1):000±000, 2004. On both theoretical and practical grounds, respect for, and inclusion of, local decision-making processes is advocated in conservation, yet little is known about the conservation priorities on local territories. We employed interviews and eco- logical inventories in two villages in order to (1) evaluate the local perception of the conser- vation status of important plant resources; (2) compare patterns of plant use; and (3) compare perceived conservation status with population structure and abundance in the ®eld. One-third of the 35 species examined were perceived to be threatened or declining. These were predom- inantly used locally for construction or sold commercially, but were not necessarily rare in the ®eld. The destructiveness of harvest was the most consistent predictor of conservation status in both villages. Contrasting patterns were found in the two villages for the frequency of plant harvest and the relationship of this variable with conservation status. -
Plants and Gall Hosts of the Tirimbina Biological Reserve

Sarapiquí, Heredia, Costa Rica; [email protected] 2 Independent consultant, Costa Rica; [email protected] 3 Escuela de Biología, Universidad de Costa Rica; San Pedro, 11501-2060 San José, Costa Rica; [email protected] * Correspondence Received 03-X-2018 Corrected 10-I-2018 Accepted 24-I-2019 Abstract There has been an increasing number of inventories of gall-inducing arthropods in the Neotropics. Nonetheless, very few inventories have been carried out in areas where the flora is well documented, and records of galls from herbaria and sites outside the study area have seldom been utilized. In this study we provide a checklist of the native vascular plants of a 345 ha forest reserve in the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica and document which of these plants were found to harbor galls. The gall surveys were carried out between November 2013 and December 2016. We also cross-checked our plant list with the previous gall records from elsewhere in the country and searched for galls on herbarium specimens of dicots reported from the reserve. In total, we recorded 143 families and 1174 plant species, of which 401 were hosts of galls. Plant hosts of galls were found in the following non-mutually exclusive categories: 209 in our field sampling, 257 from previous records, and 158 in herbarium specimens. -

(August 2012) Sandra Bibiana Correa Valencia, B.S., Universidad del Valle; M.S., University of Florida Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kirk Winemiller Diverse fish species consume fruits and seeds in the Neotropics, in particular in the lowland reaches of large rivers, such as the Amazon, Orinoco, and Paraná in South America. Floodplains of the Amazon River and its lowland tributaries are characterized by marked hydrological seasonality and diverse assemblages of frugivorous fishes, including closely related and morphologically similar species of several characiform families. Here, I investigated whether or not these fishes are capable of detecting fluctuations in food availability and if they are, how they adjust their feeding strategies.
