DISTRIBUSI VERTIKAL DAN HORIZONTAL Asplenium nidus L. DI TAMAN NASIONAL GUNUNG HALIMUN, JAWA BARAT [Vertical and Horizontal Distributions of Asplenium nidus L. in Gunung Halimun National Park, West Java]

Studi taksonomi jamur di Taman Nasional Gunung Halimun (TNGH) belum dilakukan dengan intensif.Sebanyak 35 jenis Agarics dikoleksi dari kawasan TNGH meliputi 23 marga dan 9 suku.Kekayaan keanekaragaman jamur ini diperoleh dari eksplorasi di 3 lokasi yaitu Cikaniki, Gunung Botol dan Gunung Telaga (Ciptarasa).Sejumlah sampel belum teridentifikasi karena karakter yang belum jelas.Oleh karena itu, jumlah jenis-jenis baru dari eksplorasi ini belum dapat diketahui.Fifty strains of Bacillus sp. isolated from Gunung Halimun National Park (GHNP) were characterized. All strains are characterized by amylase, protease, phosphatase, ligninase, and cellulase activity.Thirtyseven isolates gave positive reaction for amylase activity, 46 isolates for protease activity, 3 isolates for phosphatase activity, 3 isolates for ligninase activity, and 36 isolates for cellulose activity.These findings indicates that Bacillus sp. that isolated from GHNP is a potential microbe for enzymes technology and biotechnology application.Fish fauna survey were conducted in Cimadur, Ciujung and Ciberang Rivers. From these studies six fishes species were found as additional record for fishes living in Gunung Halimun National Park and its adjacent area. This finding brings the fish species living at this park to be sixty.In this record, it includes Cypriniid fishes that attain large size: Barbodes balleroides and Osteochilus hasseltii, found in the segment of the middle of R. Ciujung (18.3 m asl).The fieldworks for inventory and collection on mammals in Gunung Halimun National Park (OHNP) had been carried out for long time; however the works only focused on the areas belong to Bogor District. Therefore, the fieldwork was carried out in the buffer zone of the GHNP in Lebak District.The fieldwork had collected 70 numbers consisted of 16 species of mammals, of which five species were new records for GHNP and of those five species, two species (Glischropus javanus and Myotis sp.)were new collection for the Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense-Research Center for Biology-The Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI).The Baduy people were noticed to hunt fruit-bats from some caves for their food.It was suggested a monitoring activity on the utilization of fruit-bats should be conducted for the conservation of the fruit-bats.Further fieldwork outside the Bogor District in the future should also be considered, particularly on the area along the river.
