Abstract Starch-based bioplastic from sago is one of the potential sources in Indonesia. Since it is made from natural ingredients, it is easier to absorb water and susceptible to the activity of microorganisms. Betel leaf extract is one of natural antimicrobial agent that rich of tannin and flavonoid. This study aims to investigate physical properties and antimicrobial activity of sago (Metroxylon sp.) starch-based bioplastic. The betel leaf was extracted by using the ultrasonication method with ethanol as a solvent. Betel leaf concentrated extract is diluted using aquadest with a concentration of 2 g/100 mL (2%) to be applied as an antimicrobial agent in bioplastics. The compositions of glycerol were varied from 10-30% whereas betel leaf extract from 3-9%(v) in the manufacture of bioplastics. The results show that the highest density of 1.5 g/cm3 was achieved at the composition of glycerol and betel leaf extract, respectively, 30%(v) and 9%(v). The highest water absorption percentage was shown by sample with 30%(v) glycerol without addition of betel leaf extract, that was 83.31%. The antibacterial activity showed that the addition of betel leaf extract to bioplastics was able to inhibit the activity of bacteria (Bacillus cereus). The best inhibition were shown in bioplastics with a variation of 20%(v) glycerol and 9%(v) betel leaf extract addition. However, all variation did not show their inhibition with fungal activity (Aspergillus niger).

<p>In Indonesia, strawberry is one of fruits which has high economic values. The growth of strawberry has increased significantly, but its productivity is still low because of disease attack. Disease that attacks strawberry started from nursery to post harvest is anthracnose that can be caused by Colletotrichum spp. Control efforts of anthracnose disease up to now has been done with application of synthetic chemicals which are known to be hazardous to the environment and human health. Betel leaf (Piper betle L.) is natural plant that potentially used as phytofungicide. Essential oils on betel leaf extract is reported can decrease the growth of pathogenic fungi. The objectives of the research were to identify Colletotrichum spp. in strawberry fruit that showed anthracnose symptoms, to test the potency of betel leaf extract as phytofungicide, and to evaluate the effect of betel leaf extract in inhibiting infection and disease severity of Colletotrichum in strawberry. Samples were taken from strawberry nursery in Magelang, Indonesia. The disease symptoms were isolated on Potato Dextrose Agar, followed by identification of fungal colony and morphology by semi permanent slide preparation. Betel leaves were extracted with water to get a concentration of 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100%, respectively. An in vitro experiment was done to evaluate the inhibition rate of betel leaf extract to the growth of Colletotrichum spp. colony. An in vivo experiment was done by submersion of strawberry to betel leaf extract before (preventive method) and after antrachnose attack (curative method), then disease infection and disease severity were measured after 7 days. The result of the research showed that anthracnose disease in strawberry was caused by C. gloeosporioides (Penz.). Twenty percent of betel leaf extract in an in vitro test had potential as phytofungicide and concentration of 100% betel leaf extract was the best concentration to inhibit the growth of C. gloeosporioides (Penz.) colony by 70.26±0,61%. In an in vivo experiment, submersion of strawberry before pathogen infection (preventive) with 100% betel leaf extract decreased disease infection by 40% and disease severity by 16%, respectively. While treatment of submersion of strawberry after pathogen infection (curative) decreased disease infection by 33,4% and disease severity by 17%. </p><p>Keywords: strawberry, anthrachnose, disease, betel leaf</p>

High mortality rate and antimicrobial resistance are still becoming world-wide problems, due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa’s (P. aeruginosa) virulence and its ability to form biofilm. Biofilm’s formation is affected by the presence of rhamnolipid, whose production is regulated by quorum sensing systems. Piper betle (P. betle) possesses antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of P. betle leaf’s extract against biofilm formation and rhamnolipid production of P. aeruginosa. Active compounds of P. betle were identified using plate chromatography. Agar dilution method was used to determine the minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) of methanolic leaf extract of P. betle. A biofilm-producing P. aeruginosa isolate in the polystyrene plate adherence test was selected for confirmation of biofilm production by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), after P. betle administration. Rhamnolipid detection and evaluation were performed by interpreting halo formed around the well. After administration of various concentrations of P. betle leaf extract on the microplate well, it was concluded that the MBIC of P. betle leaf extract on P. aeruginosa was 0.4%. Methanolic extract of P. betle leaf extract at concentration of 0.4% showed that P. aeruginosa could not form biofilm at all, although the bacteria could still aggregate and form a matrix. After linear regression analysis, beta-coefficient was obtained at -0.931 for P. betle leaf extract. It can be concluded that P. betle leaf extract was effective in inhibiting the growth of biofilm and formation of rhamnolipid by P. aeruginosa. The increase in concentration of P. betle leaf extract was inversely proportional to the diameter of the halo rhamnolipid formed. The higher the level of P. betel leaf extract, the smaller the diameter of the halo rhamnolipid formed.
