The molds and other contaminant microbes are the causing agent of rotten fruits. Snake fruit (Salacca zalacca (Gaernth) rotten fungi were found in the garden, market or during transportation to the market. The purpose of the experiment is to study the molds in rotten fruits at the three traditional fruit markets, Bogor, Depok and Jakarta. The mold from 122 fleshy up rotten snake fruits were isolated and identified. Colonies were grown for 3-7 days, at 25-30 o C on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) using direct isolation methods. Growth rate were observed every day. Molecular techniques were applied to confirm species identification. Morphology characteristics and DNA sequencing results showed that the isolates were Thielaviopsis paradoxa, (98.3%) and Thielaviopsis ethacetica (1.7%). The molds found in snake fruit from the garden and from the market were similar. Thielaviopsis paradoxa, is the main causes of snake fruit rotten agent in the fruit traditional markets and the initial occurrence of pollution is in the garden.

Comparisons were made to the essential oils made from the peel of 3 types of citrus fruits: Pomelo, Sweet orange, and Lime. The research was conducted in 2016 at the Medicinal Plants Research Center and the Bogor Veterinary Research Center. Essential oils of all three types of orange peel were obtained by distilling in water and steam. The effectiveness of fungal growth inhibition was determined using the agar plate dilution method by using the Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) method. Furthermore, an analysis was carried out with a Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrophotometer (GC-MS) to determine the content of essential oils in each orange peel. Aspergillus spp., Fusarium spp., and Candida spp. were selected as representatives of the fungal pathogen test. It was revealed that the content of essential oils in each orange peel used differed. It was concluded the essential oil from the Lime peel had in its composition the most excellent antifungal properties compared to the Sweet orange and Pomelo.

Limited non-toxic antifungal and the presence of resistance are triggering the search for novel alternative. Antifungal peptides gain more interest since their native protein are very abundant and showed broad spectrum activity. This research was conducted to evaluate antifungal activity of goat, mare and soybean milks hydrolysate and their peptide fraction against Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Goat, mare and soybean milk proteins were hydrolyzed using Bacillus thuringiensis protease enzyme. Hydrolysate products were fractionated using molecular weight cut off membrane 30 kDa, 10 kDa, and 3 kDa. Each peptide fraction was assayed for antifungal activity against to Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The result showed hydrolysis of mare milk, goat milk produced bioactive peptides to Candida albicans but less effective to Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Generally, the peptide fractions derived from whole, casein and whey from mare milk showed higher antifungal activity compared to the peptide fraction derived from goat or soybean milk. Whole mare milk peptides fractions with molecular weight >3 kDa were very effective to inhibit the growth of Candida albicans compared to peptide fractions from goat's milk or soybean milk. Peptide fractions >3 kDa from mare casein and whey protein also showed high activity against to Candida albicans, while fractions <3 kDa was more active to inhibit Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Based on the result, it can be concluded that the hydrolysates and their peptide fraction from whole milk, casein and whey from mare milk are very potent to be developed as antifungal.

Dermatophytosis is a zoonotic disease that easily spreads to other animals as well as to humans. Long treatment will give great loss not only to livestock but also to humans. Miconazole and sulfur are antifungals that have often been used to treat fungal-caused dermatophytosis. The purpose of this study was to obtain the composition of sulfur and miconazole combination which was effective in killing dermatophytes fungus. The fungus used was Trychophyton mentagrophytes. The antifungal doses used were single miconazole with a graded dose of 10mg/g, sulfur with a graded dose of 30 mg/g, and a combination of miconazole and sulfur. The test method used was the diffusion test to see the width of the inhibition zone and the dilution test (pour plate) to calculate the growth of the fungus. The concentration of fungus used for the test was 10 6 cfu/ml. Solutions of antifungal and fungus active ingredients were tested using Sabouraud Dextrose Agar media. The results of the in vitro test showed that the width of the inhibition zone on miconazole 10 mg/g was 35.2 mm (diffusion test) with 0 fungal growth (dilution test). Sulfur concentration 30 mg/g the inhibition zone was 4,83 mm (diffusion test) with 34 cfu/ml fungus growth (dilution test). In the combined of sulfur 7,5 mg/g and miconazole 5 mg/g, the width of the inhibition zone was 30.3 mm with the growth of fungus colonies is 0. Based on the results of the diffusion and dilution tests, the best combination composition between sulfur and miconazole was obtained at a concentration of 7,5 mg/g sulfur and 5 mg/g miconazole.

Although the mortality rate is low , the morbidity is high leading to economic loss. The island of Sulawesi has about 151.000 horses and they are distributed in 5 provinces: North, Central, West, South, and South-East Sulawesi which potentially has endemic outbreaks caused by the Selakarang fungus, Histoplasma farciminosum. The disease might be endemic throughout Indonesia if the horse trading is not monitored . I n Maros, South Sulawesi , the disease is found with symptoms in the form of nasal , cutan, and ocular symptoms. Ignorance of the appropriate authorities will increase the likelihood of spread of the disease . According to the Staatblad act produced in 1912 and the disease belonged to the zoonotic disease and when it is not well handled and properly managed, infection to human may occur. Prevention is better than treatment . In the future , we may propose to produce inactive vaccines and develop serological test to detect an...

The contamination causes health disturbance of animals. The disease is not only caused by the mold, but also by toxin produced. Health loss in term of economy due to the mold contamination is quite significant. Some factors can support the appearance of mold and toxic contamination in feed, especially humidity and temperature. In Indonesia, Aspergillus sp. especially A. flavus is the dominant mold contaminant in feed. Controlling as prevention by early detection or visual inspection and good management is a better choice compared to cure.

The utilization of post-mining area causes serious health problem in animals and humans due to heavy metal waste pollution (Ag, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, and Pb). Efforts to overcome the pollution of heavy metals on farms can be carried out by preventing and controlling waste in post-mining and industry areas. There are several mycoremediation methods to recover heavy metal polluted land such as biosorption, bioaccumulation, bioprecipitation, bioreduction, and bioleaching. Mycoremediation is a process to remove pollutants or heavy metals from soil using potential fungi (Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium sp, Fusarium sp, Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Mycoremediation is chosen due to economical cost, efficient, and environmentally friendly.
