Abstract. Anita S, Haryono, Wahyudewantoro G. 2019. Nutritional component of Barbonymus balleroides: A wild fresh water fish from Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 581-588. Barbonymus balleroides is a native species of fish from Indonesia that threatens by overfishing activity and habitat damage whereas little is known about its nutritional information. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional content of wild barb fish that was collected from two different sites in Indonesia. Fishes were collected from Serayu and Cipunagara River. The body part of fishes was grouped and weighted to identify the ratio. Proximate composition was determined for flesh and byproduct parts. Flesh parts of fish were then examined for mineral content, fatty acid, and amino acid profile. Barb fish samples mainly form Cipunagara River contain high protein compare to several Indonesian freshwater fishes that commonly consumed. Flesh samples from both fish group were the heaviest part followed by its edible byproduct that often wasted. The amount of moisture and protein were higher in the flesh parts while byproduct showed higher content of fat and ash. Both samples contained a dominant amount of macro elements K and P. Fatty acid profile of flesh samples showed essential fatty acid that is good for human health. Amino acid profile showed the most dominant amino acid found in both samples was glutamic acid.

Living organisms live within a narrow zone of tolerance of climatic conditions. Fresh water fish Ophiocephalus unmourilius is found in Chanakapur dam of Girna river in Kalwan (M.S.). The fish showed irreversible changes in carbohydrates, proteins and Ascorbic acid content when exposed to cold stress. Due to cold stress glycogen and protein content of brain and muscles tissue show considerable increase where as liver tissue show decreasing trend. Similarly ascorbic acid content show increasing trend in brain but considerable decrease in liver and muscular tissue was observed.

Abstract The colourless algae, Prototheca portoricensis, Polytoma oviforme, Chlorella variegata (Chlorophyta), and Chilomonas paramecium (Pyrrhophyta) mainly synthesize the 16 : 0, 18 : 1, and partly also 1 8 : 2 and 18 : 3 fatty acids. The major lipids formed were neutral lipids (glycerides and sterol esters) and phospholipids. In their fatty acid content, these organisms resembled fresh water green algae. They differed from the photosynthesizing fresh water green algae, however, in containing none or very low amounts of polyunsaturated C16 acids (16 : 2 , 16 : 3) and glycolipids.

Effect Of Light

Cyanobacteria are Gram negative prokaryotes that are capable of oxygenic photosynthesis. Although there are many similarities between eukaryotes and cyanobacteria in electron transfer and phosphorylation during photosynthesis, there are two features of the photosynthetic apparatus in cyanobacteria which distinguishes them from plants. Cyanobacteria contain phycobiliproteins organized in phycobilisomes on the surface of photosynthetic membrane. Another difference is in the organization of the photosynthetic membranes. Instead of stacked thylakolds within a chloroplast envelope membrane, as seen In eukaryotes, IntracytopIasmlc membranes generally are arranged in three to six concentric layers. Environmental factors such as temperature, nutrition and light fluency can significantly affect the physiology and morphology of cells. The effect of light Intensity shifts on the ultrastructure of Internal membrane in Anabaena variabilis grown under controlled environmental conditions was examined. Since a major constituent of cyanobacterial thylakolds are lipids, the fatty acid content also was measured and correlated with uItrastructural changes. The regulation of fatty acid synthesis in cyanobacteria ultimately can be studied if the fatty acid content can be manipulated.
