Abstract

DNA isolation is an important step for further molecular analysis. Coffee plants contain polysaccharides, polyphenols, and secondary metabolites which can contaminate the results of DNA isolation. This study was conducted to isolate DNA from arabica and robusta coffee leaves using a modified CTAB method and PCR optimization for amplification of matK and rbcL genes. DNA was isolated using buffers (CTAB 10%, PVP 1%, β-mercaptoethanol 1%, Tris-HCl 1M, NaCl 5M, and EDTA 0.5%), and eluted with TE-RNase. Genomic DNA of ten coffee plants was successfully isolated with concentrations ranging from 33-146 nm/µL with purity (A260/A280) 1.7-1.9. Based on the genomic DNA isolated, matK and rbcL  genes were amplified with initial denaturation conditions of 94°C (for 1 minute of matK and 4 minutes of rbcL) followed by 35 cycles of denaturation at 94°C for 30 seconds, annealing (adjusted to each primer), and extension at 72°C for 1 minute. The optimal PCR conditions were effective to amplify matK (900 bp) and rbcL (600 bp) genes. Thus, the modified DNA isolation method and PCR optimization can be used as an efficient tool for further molecular analysis of Coffea arabica L. and Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner.

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the secondary metabolite compounds and evaluate the antimicrobial activity of ethanol extract of jamblang stem bark (Syzygium cumini). The method used in this research is experimental method. The extraction was carried out using the maceration method with 96% ethanol as the solvent. Secondary metabolite compounds of the extract samples were analyzed using a Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Antimicrobial activity of the extract against Cutibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans using disc diffusion method tested on MHA (Mueller Hinton Agar) media with extract concentrations of 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%.  Each experiment was repeated three times to ensure validity. The results revealed that the extract have dominant compounds such as 7-Tetradecenal (Z), Octadecanoic acid, and n-Hexadecanoic acid. The antimicrobial test showed that the highest inhibition zones were 7.45 mm for C. acnes, 8.04 mm for S. aureus, and 4.60 mm for C. albicans at 100% extract concentration. The inhibition zones increased with higher extract concentrations, indicating a dose-dependent relationship. Compared to the positive control results (20.70 mm; 22.29 mm; and 18.62 mm) the extract showed moderate antimicrobial activity. These findings suggest that jamblang stem bark extract has potential as a natural antimicrobial agent.

Abstract

Feed is one of the important factors in fish farming, because it can account for 60–70% of the total operational costs of cultivation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of providing water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) fermented with Aspergillus niger as feed on the growth performance of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). This study used an experimental method and a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of five treatments and three replications, with the composition of P0 (commercial pellets) as the control, P1 (30% unfermented water hyacinth flour), and P2 (10%), P3 (20%), and P4 (30%) fermented water hyacinth flour. The results of this study showed that the addition of water hyacinth flour fermented with Aspergillus niger had no significant effect (P > 0.05) on tilapia protein retention. It was also known that the water quality in the tilapia maintenance media was within the optimal range.
