Box 10626, 88806 Kota Kinabalu Sabah, Malaysia 3Faculty of Science and Natural Resources, Universiti Malaysia Sabah 88400 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract This research was conducted to rapidly propagate Paphiopedilum rothschildianum using semi-solid and liquid culture systems. Calli were induced from seed, leaf segments (LS), seed-derived protocorms (SDP) and secondary protocorms (SP) cultured on half-strength semi-solid MS media supplemented with 0-22.6 µM 2,4- dichlorophenoacetic acid (2,4-D) and 4.54 µM 1-phenyl-3-(1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl)- urea (TDZ). Regeneration of PLB from callus was optimized on semisolid medium and were evaluated in various concentrations and types of PGRs. PLB regeneration was further optimized using callus originating from a different induction medium, and cultured on different concentrations (0, 15 and 58 mM) of sucrose. For PLB regeneration using liquid culture system, 0.5 g callus were inoculated in a temporary immersion bioreactor system (RITA®) containing 150 ml liquid medium with immersion time of 5 minutes in every 125 minutes. SE, SDP and SP explants produced calli as early as 30 days with the percentages of explant forming callus at 77.0% ± 4.5, 94.4% ± 11.0, and 66.7% ± 14.4 respectively after 90 days of culture. The calli regenerated on medium supplimented with 2.27 µM TDZ and 12.0 µM BAP, but with very low percentage (15.0% ± 13.7 callus produced the average of 3 PLBs). PLB regeneration capacity increased to 37.5% ± 13.7 with the average of 5.9 PLBs for callus originating from an induction medium containing 4.54 µM TDZ, when a lower sucrose concentration (15 mM) was used in the regeneration medium. Callus proliferation using RITA® system showed an almost 2-fold increased in fresh weight and 168 PLBs per gram calli were regenerated. In contrast to semi-solid culture, the regeneration capacity in liquid culture system increased to 190 PLBs per gram calli when sucrose concentration in the medium was elevated from 15 mM to 58 mM.

Fikri 1 Institute for Tropical Biology and Conservation, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Sabah, Malaysia; 2 Water Research Unit, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Sabah, Malaysia. Corresponding author: A. H. Fikri, [email protected] Abstract. Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (EPT) are particularly sensitive and well suited as bioindicators for monitoring stream health. This study aims to investigate the EPT communities between disturbed and undisturbed areas of Ranau-Beluran District. Based on National Water Quality Standards of Malaysia, the sampled streams were categorized as Class I and II of water classes. Nonparametric Mann- Whitney test showed that only canopy cover was significantly different between disturbed and undisturbed sites. The sampled insects were dominated by Ephemeroptera (80.42%), followed by Plecoptera (14%) and Trichoptera order (5.58%). The Leptophlebiid family was the most abundant (44.82%). Family richness, the Simpson’s and Shannon-Weiner diversity indices all showed similar trends, EPT diversity being lower in disturbed sites. The diversity of EPT was strongly related to canopy cover.

Tongkul Geology Program School of Science and Technology I Universiti Malaysia Sabah 1\ I January, 2002 II Summary In an attempt to understandthe evolution of Maliau Basin a structural geology study within and outside the basin based on secondary information, satellite and radar imageries,aerial photographs, primary field and laboratorydata was carriedout. The study has documentedthe natural architectureof Maliau Basin, unravelled the tectonic evolution of the basin and detenninedongoing geologicalprocesses. These are importanttowards the managementof Maliau Basin. Maliau Basin is made up interbedded layers of sandstoneand mudstone, approximately 7500 metres thick, which were deposited, in an ancient deltaic-coastal environment, between 9-15 million years ago. The layers at the base of the basin consist mainly of mudstones reaching up to 2000 metres thick. Near the rim of the basin, thick sandstone interbedded with thin mudstone and coal seams occur. Towards the centre of the basin a series of sandstone-dominated and mudstone-dominated strata of various thicknesses occur. The youngest sediment is located near the Camel Trophy Field Station, whereas the oldest can be found near Lake Linumunsut. The basin sits on older sedimentary rocks, also comprising of thick layers of sandstoneand mudstone, with slight unconformity. The evolution of Maliau Basin was structurally controlled. Faults trending NW -SE and NE-SW together with the structural trends and topography of the underlying sedimentary I rocks played important roles in the development of the basin.

    The Outlook of Rural Water Supply in Developing Country: Review on Sabah, Malaysia

    BORNEO SCIENCE 41 (1) : MARCH 2020 THE OUTLOOK OF RURAL WATER SUPPLY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRY: REVIEW ON SABAH, MALAYSIA Rosalam Sarbatly1, Farhana Abd Lahin2*, Chel-Ken Chiam3 1, 2, 3 Membrane Technology Research Group, Material and Mineral Research Unit, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Jalan UMS, 88400 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, MALAYSIA Email: [email protected], 2*[email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT. This paper reviews the challenges in the water supply provision, water source availability and quality and the distribution approaches in rural Sabah. The main challenges to provide potable water in Sabah is the variance in terrain and geographical distance between populated regions. Review reveals that other than the river water, average annual precipitation of 3000 millimetres (mm) could be harvested for domestic and agricultural purposes. Numbers of aquifer uncovered in the eastern and western region of Sabah with underlying sandstone and Quaternary Alluvium have significant potential for groundwater reservoirs. Aquifer along the coastal areas and islands around Sabah also gives sufficient potable water supplies. Minimal pollutant content was found in all water sources and acceptable under the National Water Standard of Malaysia, except for contaminants coming from septic tanks and agricultural activities. A decentralized water system is more beneficial for Sabah’s rural areas. Smaller scaled plants are flexible to collect from any water sources and treat at the point of use. Expenditure is significantly decreased by a shorter distribution network and lower installation and maintenance cost. Nonetheless, the treatment utilized may be limited to a simpler process as semi- skilled or un-skilled personnel will be required to operate and maintain the system.
