Background: CPO refining which produces solid waste namely spent bleaching earth (SBE) in large quantities can pollute the environment. SBE from bentonite ores contains large amounts of silica, so it can be an alternative source of silica minerals. Silica plays an important role in increasing plant resistance and bioactive plant compound products. Methods: The application of Si in plants can increase secondary metabolites such as phenolic and anti-fungal compounds in response to disease pathogens. However, the low solubility of silica makes silica not sufficiently available for plants. Using microorganisms as silica solubilizing bacteria helps increasing solubility of silica in the soil. Bacteria dissolve silica by removing organic acids and producing indole acetic acid (AAI), which stimulates root hairs. Results: This review presents the results of a study on the utilization of silica-rich SBE waste as a source of available silica for plants with solubilizing method using bacteria to increase plant growth and resistance, as well as increase plant secondary metabolite compounds. Conclusions: The application of silica solubilizing bacteria has been known to play an important role in providing silica for plants, through enzymatic mechanisms, namely the production of organic acids and extracellular polysaccharides.

Background: Breadfruit [Artocarpus altilis (Parkinson ex F.A.Zorn) Fosberg] is a versatile plant that can be used by humans. Breadfruit has morphological variations that are thought to be related to anatomical variations that are formed as an adaptation mechanism to survive in a different area. This plant has the ability to live in different altitude ranges, from coastal areas to upland areas. This research was conducted for eight months in areas with altitude ranges of <350 masl, 350-700 masl, and >700 masl in Banyumas, Purbalingga, and Cilacap Regencies. Sampling of plants was carried out randomly selected (purposive random sampling), then described their morphological characteristics. Furthermore, the leaves are made for anatomical preservation to determine the anatomical character. Breadfruit plants that grow at an altitude of less than 350 m above sea level have the characteristics of a higher, larger diameter stem, have a tighter branching, more sap production, a higher number of fruit and have a larger fruit size. The anatomical characteristics of breadfruit plants that grow at an altitude of less than 350 masl have stomata characters that are wider and longer than those of 350-700 masl and > 700 masl. The highest stomata and trichomata density at an altitude > 700 masl. The highest mean cuticle thickness, epidermis, palisade ratio and mesophyll thickness were highest in breadfruit leaves at altitudes <350 masl.

Background: Entomopathogenic fungi are one of the potential biodiversity assets to be used as biological control agents. However, information about the diversity of entomopathogenic fungi, especially in the Gunung Tukung Gede (GTG) nature reserve is very limited. The purpose of this study was to provide information on the biodiversity of entomopathogenic fungi in the GTG nature reserve. Methods: The entomopathogenic fungi were explored from 3 different stations: primary forest, secondary forest and disturbed forest. Entomopathogenic fungi were isolated identified both macroscopically and microscopically.  Results: A total of 15 specimens of entomopathogenic fungi consisting of 5 families and 8 types of fungi successfully isolate. The entomopathogen fungi were Basidiobolus haptosporus, Beauveria bassiana., Metarhizium aniesophalie, Paecilomyces sp., Aschersonia sp., Aspergillus sp. 1, Aspergillus sp.2, and Septobasidium sp. These fungi infect insect hosts from the orders Lepidoptera, Hemiptera and Homoptera. The index of the diversity of entomopathogenic fungi at 3 consecutive stations is 1.5495; 1.3322; and 0.6365 (medium category). Conclusions: The GTG Nature Reserve has a unique diversity of entomopathogenic fungi. Therefore, further research is needed in order to determine the diversity and potential utilization of the existing entomopathogenic fungi.
