We tested several plants for the occurrence of unusual polyamines such as homospermidine, aminopropylhomospermidine, norspermidine, norspermine, thermospermine, and caldopentamine. The leaf and root of aquatic plants ubiquitously contained homospermidine in addition to usual polyamines such as putrescine, spermidine, spermine, and cadaverine. Homospermidine was widely distributed in the seed, seedling, leaf, and root of gramineous plants such as rice, millet, oat, rye, wheat, barley, corn, sorghum, and timothy as a minor polyamine. Aminopropylhomospermidine was found in the two aquatic plants, the water lily Nymphaca tetragona and the lotus Nelumbo nucifera as a major polyamine, and in the gramineous seeds as a minor polyamine. Norspermidine, norspermine, homospermine, and caldopentamine were detected in two floating aquatic plants, the duckweed Spirodela polyrhiza and the water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes. Thermospermine was sporadically detected in some aquatic plants and gramineous seeds. Key words: Gramineae, aquatic plant, polyamine, homospermidine, caldopentamine.

In order to study combination effect of aquatic plants for the purification of eutrophic wastewater, research was carried out in greenhouse with water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersumL) an water milfoil (Myriophyllum verticillatum L). In the treatment of water hyacinth + water milfoil , the removal efficiency of ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N), nitrite nitrogen (NO3--N) , total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and COD was 74.7%, 61.7%, 65.6%, 73.8% and 50.8% respectively. And that of water hyacinth + hornwort was 79.0%, 52.6%, 67.5%, 46.2% and 56.9%. The combination of different aquatic plants have better removal efficiency than single species. Water milfoil showed good removal ability for the eutrophication pollutants, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, while hornwort was good at the purification of COD.

Industry Wastewater

In the processing of chips using cassava (Manihot utilissima), it will produce waste in the form of solid and liquid waste. The liquid waste of processing cassava chips contains organic compounds that are easily decomposed and cause unpleasant odors. If the liquid waste is discharged directly into the environment, it will cause pollution and damage the environment. One of the steps that can be used to overcome this problem is phytoremediation. The purpose of this study was to determine the best treatment in the processing of cassava chips industrial wastewater so that the liquid waste is safe to dispose of into the environment. In this study, using two types of aquatic plants, namely water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and kiambang (Pistia stratiotes) and using alum to remediate liquid waste. This research was conducted experimentally using a jar with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 25 cm with 3 repetitions of each treatment. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively to determine the best treatment that can be used for remediation of cassava chips industry wastewater. The results showed that the use of water hyacinth plants (Eichhornia crassipes) could improve the quality of wastewater so that it is safe to dispose of into the environment.

Water shortage is now one of the major issues of the global world. Water scarcity is increasing day by day. The availability of water is decreasing. The need of hour is to treat the wastewater for dealing water crisis and using it for various purposes. This study involves the treatment of domestic wastewater using phytoremediation technique. The two aquatic plants named Eichhornia crassipes (Water hyacinth) and Pistia stratiotes (Water lettuce) were used. The parameters investigated in this research were pH, TDS, Turbidity, EC, TSS and temperature. These parameters were checked at various retention times after every three days interval. The objective of this study was to get higher efficiencies of these two aquatic plants in improving the parameters involved in the research. The adequacy of the treatment parameters was also validated using statistical analysis. It was established by the results at the end of the experiment that maximum efficiencies were achieved by this phytoremediation technique. This concluded that these two aquatic plants treated the wastewater to such an extent that it can be safely disposed in the drains.

The goal of the research is to find out the quality of the waters of the plankton community structure based on waters covered by water hyacinth in the Lake Rawa Pening. This research was carried out in Oktober and November 2016.  The method used is observatif field and taking of sampling in purposive and laboratory. The location of sampling is divided into four stations and each station is divided into two points. Station 1 is that there is water hyacinth is quite high (high density with a percentage ranging <70-100%). Station 2 is the area contained relatively water hyacinth are medium density (percentage of 40-70%). Station 3 is the station contained water hyacinth is relatively low (low density with a percentage ranging from 40%) as well as station 4 is there is no water hyacinth. The results showed that Phytoplankton abundance range 620-15690 Ind/L.  Types of Phytoplankton found consists of 4 classes namely Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Xanthophyceae. The abundance of Zooplankton range 620-1608 Ind/m3. Types of  Zooplankton found consists of 5 classes, namely Zoomastigopora, Pytomastigopora, Euglenaphyceae, Rotiferaceae Ciliata, Crustacea. The quality of the waters of Lake Rawa Pening is still within the limits that are reasonable for the life of the plankton. Saprobik index (SI) of 2 and the value of Tropical Saprobik Index (TSI) of 1,33 this indicated that these waters are in a phase of Oligosaprobik toward β-mesosaprobik.. Keywords: Plankton, Eichhornia crassipes, Lake Rawa Pening.

Existence of heavy metals in industrial waste is gaining global attention since their negative impact to environment. One of the efforts to solve the problem was to use plant to absorb metal in liquid medium, known as rhizofiltration. This research was aimed to select aquatic plants which showed relative resistantce and susceptibility to chromium. Four species of aquatic plants (Pistia stratiotes, Eichhornia crassipes, Lemna minor and Salvinia sp.) were grown in artificial medium (Hoagland) supplemented with 0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 ppm chromium. The plants resistance and absorption toward chromium was observed based on the morphology and chromium content in their biomass. Based on their resistance to and absorption of chromium, the selected plants were tested further in liquid waste of tanning industry. In Hoagland medium, Salvinia sp. demonstrated 67.2% higher resistance and absorption toward chromium while that of P. stratiotes 20.3% lower compared to other plants which were tested. This result could be applicable in reducing such environmental pollutant as the heavy metal chromium from industrial waste.

Salah satu upaya untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut adalah memanfaatkan tanaman untuk menyerap logam dalam medium cair atau dikenal sebagai fitoremediasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tanaman air lokal yang tahan dan peka secara relatif terhadap kromium. Empat spesies tanaman air (Pistia stratiotes, Eichhornia crassipes, Lemna minor, dan Salvinia sp.) ditumbuhkan pada medium buatan (Hoagland) yang dipasok kromium 0, 1, 2, 4, dan 8 ppm. Pengujian toleransi tanaman dan serapan terhadap kromium dilakukan berdasarkan pengamatan morfologis serta analisis kadar kromium dalam biomasa. Berdasarkan daya tahan dan serapan kromium, tanaman terseleksi diujikan lebih lanjut dalam limbah cair industri penyamakan kulit. Dalam medium Hoagland, Salvinia sp. mempunyai ketahanan dan serapan kromium lebih tinggi sebesar 67,2% sedangkan P. stratiotes mempunyai ketahanan dan serapan kromium lebih rendah sebesar 20,3% dibandingkan tanaman lain yang diujikan. Hasil penelitian ini dapat diterapkan untuk mengurangi bahan pencemar lingkungan berupa logam berat kromium dari limbah industri.Kata Kunci: Fitoremediasi, kromium, medium Hoagland, tanaman air, limbah cair
