Malaysian Journal of Microbiology, Vol 3(1) 2007, pp. 27-30 http://dx.doi.org/10.21161/mjm.00407 SHORT COMMUNICATION Diversity of Fusarium species in cultivated soils in Penang Latiffah, Z., * Mohd Zariman M and Baharuddin, S. School of Biological Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 Minden, Penang E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Fusarium species were isolated from 12 cultivated soil planted with different crops in Penang. A total of 42 Fusarium isolates were recovered in which four Fusarium species were identified namely, F. solani, F. semitectum, F. equiseti and F. oxysporum. The most prevalent Fusarium species recovered was F. solani (84%), followed by F. semitectum (7%), F. equiseti (7%) and F. oxysporum (2%). The present study showed that Fusarium populations are diverse within cultivated soils and could be potential inoculum to infect certain agriculture crops. Keywords: diversity, Fusarium, cultivated soil INTRODUCTION Fusarium species are ubiquitous in soil and have been the soil samples were passed through 200 µm sieve. For isolated from various soil types in tropical and temperate each soil samples, approximately 1- 2 g were spread over regions from desert soil to artic and alpine soils. However, peptone chloro-nitro benzene (PCNB) media, with four the majority of Fusarium species were recovered in replicates. The plates were incubated at room temperature cultivated soils especially near the soil surface. Fusarium for 5 – 7 days or until visible sign of colony growth. The species occurred widely in cultivated soils and often plates were observed under a binocular microscope and associated with plant roots either as parasites or the colonies formed were then transferred onto potato saprophytes (Booth, 1971).

Age, Petrochemistry and Modelling of the Bukit Mertajam-Kulim Granite, Northwest Peninsular Malaysia
Geol. Soc. MalaY4ia, Bulletin 44, July 2000; pp. 139-150 Age, petrochemistry and modelling of the Bukit Mertajam-Kulim granite, northwest Peninsular Malaysia AzMAN A. GHANI, BORHAN M. DoYA AND G.H. TEH Department of Geology University of Malaya 50603 Kuala Lumpur Abstract: The Bukit Mertajam-Kulim granite consists of three units, namely, the Mertajam, Bongsu and Panchor granites which were emplaced in a relatively short time span between 180 to 224 Ma. All three units consists of rocks ranging from equigranular fine to coarse grained syeno- to monzogranite with subordinate porphyritic types. The essential minerals in all granites are K-feldspar, plagioclase, quartz, biotite, muscovite, tourmaline, apatite, zircon, garnet and opaque phases. The range of Si02 for each of the units overlap: Mertajam granite (71.49-74.73%), Bongsu granite (73.59-76.27%) and Panchor granite (70.21-73.91%). The rocks in many aspects, are comparable to the'S' type granites from the Lachlan Fold Belt of Australia. The mineral mixes predicted in the major elements modelling confirm the dominance of plagioclase and K-feldspar in the fractionation process.

Arkeologi: Penempatan a Wal Di Pulau Pinang
ARKEOLOGI: PENEMPATAN A WAL DI PULAU PINANG Oleh Dr. Mohd Mokhtar Saidin Pusat Penyelidikan Arkeologi Malaysia U niversiti Sains Malaysia [email protected] Pada 17 Julai 1786, iaitu sekitar 217 tahun yang lalu, Francis Light dan kumpulannya memulakan penempatan di PuIau Pinang. Hampir kesemua rekod penulisan sejarah tentang ketibaan East India Company ini mendedahkan telah ada beberapa perkampungan melayu seperti di Sungai Pinang, Teluk Kumbar, Sungai Gelugor dan juga Tanjong Tokong. Walau bagaimanapun, tidak ada kajian terpeinci dan data yang holistik untuk membuktikan kewujudan masyarakat melayu awal ini. Dari segi arkeologi, bukti pertama prasejarah negara ditemui di Guar Kepah, Seberang Prai pada 1860 oleh G W Earl. Guar Kepah mendedahkan timbunan cengkerang kepah dan kerang yang di dalarnnya ditemui rangka manusia, alat batu, sisa makanan, manik dan pecahan tembikar. Earl tidak melaporkan sebarang pentarikhan bagi tapak tersebut. Walau bagaimanapun, apabila dibandingkan artifak yang ditemui di Guar Kepah dengan tapak prasejarah lain adalah dijangka berusia sekurang-kurangnya sekitar 3,000 - 4,000.tahun dahulu atau mungkin lebih tua. Selain Guar Kepah, laporan penemuan alat batu beliung. di Pulau Pinang seperti di tapak pembinaan Komtar, Kampung Gelugor dan Sungai Ara . menunjukkan bukti Neolitik, iaitu era pertanian awal juga ada di Pulau Pinang, yang dijangkakan berusia sekurang-kurangnya 5,000 tahun dahulu. Kajian terbaru juga menemui perkuburan yang batu nisannya berciri batu nisan Acheh di Mukahead. Berdasarkan bentuknya, batu nisan ini dijangka mewakili era awal1700. Maka, kesemua bukti arkeologi dan sejarah di atas menunjukkan bahawa telah ada penduduk di Pulau Pinang jauh lebih awal sebelum 17 Julai 1786. PALEOALAM PULAU PINANG Sebelum membincangkan tentang bukti arkeologi di Pulau Pinang, kajian paleoalam ataupun sekitaran kunonya akan dibincangkan terlebih dahulu.
