Abstract

The termination of translation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is controlled by two interacting polypeptide chain release factors, eRF1, and eRF3. Two regions in eRF1, at position 281-305 and 411-415, were proposed to be involved on the interaction to eRF3. In this study we have constructed and characterized eRF1 mutants at position 295 from threonine to alanine and serine residues resulting in eRF1(T295A) and eRF1(T295S) respectively. The mutations did not affect the viability or temperature sensitivity of the cells. The stop codons readthrough of the mutants were analyzed in vivo using PGK-stop codon-LACZ gene fusion and the results showed that thesuppression of the mutants was increased in all of the codon terminations. The suppression of the UAG codon was the high for both mutants, with a 7-fold increased for eRF1(T295A) and a 9 fold increase for eRF1(T295S). The suppressor activity of eRF1(T295S) was higher compared to that of eRF1(T295A), suggesting that the accuracy of translational termination in eRF1(T295S) was lower than that of eRF1(T295A). Computer modeling analysis using Swiss-Prot and Amber version 9.0 programs revealed that the overall structure of eRF1 mutants has no significant difference with the wild type. However, substitution of threonine to serine on eRF1(T295S) triggered a secondary structure change on the other motif of the C-terminal domain of eRF1. This observation did not occur for on eRF1(T295A). This suggests that the high stop codon suppression on eRF1(T295S) is probably due to the slight modification of the structure of the C terminal motif.

Abstract

The microbial community in Kawah Hujan, Kamojang, West Java, Indonesia, was analyzed using 16S-rRNA-gene-sequencing combining with denaturing-gradient-gel electrophoresis (DGGE) technique. Two different cell lysis methods, enzymatic-based, and physical treatment-based DNA extraction, were used to isolate chromosomal DNA for 16S rDNA gene-fragment amplification. The DGGE profiles showed some differences in banding pattern that were obtained from both cell lysis methods. The DNA sequence analysis of the individual DGGE bands revealed that most of the band sequences obtained by physical treatment were close to 16S rRNA gene fragments from the bacterial domain, while most of band sequences performed by enzymatic method had high homology with 16S rRNA gene fragments from archaeal domain. Further analysis of the sequences from both methods performed by comparisons with the Ribosomal Database Project showed that some of DGGE sequences from Kawah Hujan consisted unique 16S rDNA sequences.

Abstract

Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis was used to identify the bacterial community at the Gedongsongo (WGS-2) hot spring. The bacterial samples were obtained from both culture dependent and independent strategies. Partial 16S rRNA genes were amplified by a set of primers to produce at around 400 bp fragments, including the highly variable V9 region of the 16S rRNA genes. The DGGE profiles showed that there were a few distinct bands, namely G1-G3, and G8-G12, which represent the predominant bacteria in natural habitat and the medium.Further analysis of these bands showed that most of them, except for G7, have a high homology to the 16S rRNA gene sequences of Thermus sp. As for G7, the highest homology was shown to unculturable bacteria. In addition to the distinct bands in DGGE, there were other three thin bands, namely G4, G5, and G6, which possibly represent non dominant microorganisms in the natural habitat, but could grow on GS-A medium. Further analysis of these bands showed that G6 has 80% similarity to the 16S rRNA of Burkholderia sp., while G4 and G5 have a high homology to each other but only contained 10-15% homology to the sequences of 16S rRNA from unculturable microorganisms. The phylogenetic analyses of the last organisms showed that there was branching from Burkholderia. From all the data obtained it was suggested that the WGS-2 hot spring was predominantly occupied by the genus Thermus. In addition, there were a few novel microorganisms found in the hot spring.

Abstract

This experiment was aimed at finding out the effects of usingnitrifying bacteria and Chlorella sp. and the application of a differing number of 3-dimensional cubical bamboo shelters for enhancing the growth performance of Giant Freshwater Prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii de Man) during the nursery phase in an indoor system. During 28 days of culture, treatment II (application of 4 shelters ~40% culture volume occupation) resulted in better prawn growth and culture performance compared to control (no shelter application) (p<0,05). At the end of the experiment, treatment II showed the highest biomass, specific growth rate, mean body weight and length of prawns with (1.96+0.05) g.cage-1, 8.24% BW.day-1, (2.18+0,89) g and (6.50+0.91) cm, respectively. However, these results were not significantly different compared to treatment I (application of 2 shelters ~20% culture volume occupation). The survival rate after treatment I and II (treatment I=90%, and treatment II=92%) was significantly higher compared to control (78%). During the experiment the increase of the concentration of ammonium and nitrate was controlled by the addition of nitrifying bacteria and microalgae, which can keep the microbial loop between ammonium reduction by bacteria and nitrate uptake by microalgae in balance. The addition of nitrifying bacteria and microalgae, and the availability of 40% bamboo shelter occupation in the culture can improve prawn culture productivity.

Abstract

Coal bed methane (CBM) is a renewable energy source produced through thermogenic and biogenic activity during the coal formation process. The aim of this research was to stimulate biogenic methane formation using simple carbon as stimulant. The microcosm set-up was done using subbituminous coal at 37°C in an anaerobic chamber. Stimulation with Na-acetate, methanol, formic acid, and no additions, respectively, was carried out for 54 days; observation took place on day 2, 15, 24, 45, and54. The results of all treatments showed differences in the initial pH of the basal medium: 7.76 (Na-acetate), 6.69 (methanol), 4.06 (formic acid), and 8.95 (no stimultant), respectively. Addition of Na-acetate resulted in the highest methane formation rate (5.034 mmol/g coal on day 24 of incubation), followed by methanol (4.377 mmol/g on day 24 of incubation), formic acid (2.520 mmol/g on day 22 of incubation), and no addition (1.2 mmol/g on day 15 of incubation). Using denatured gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) it was observed that the microbial population dynamics of the microcosm depended on the stimulant. A decrease of bands indicated that the addition of Na-acetate and methanol had caused a decrease of bacterial diversity during the stimulation process compared to the control treatment (without stimulant).

Abstract

Sludge oil contains 30%–50% hydrocarbon fractions that comprise saturated fractions, aromatics, resins, and asphaltene. Asphaltene fraction is the most persistent fraction. In this research, the indigenous bacteria that can degrade asphaltene fractions from a sludge oil sample from Balikpapan that was isolated using BHMS medium (Bushnell-Hass Mineral Salt) with 0.01% (w/v) yeast extract, 2% (w/v) asphaltene extract, and 2% (w/v) sludge oil. The ability of the four isolates to degrade asphaltene fractions was conducted by the biodegradation asphaltene fractions test using liquid cultures in a BHMS medium with 0.01% (w/v) yeast extract and 2% (w/v) asphaltene extract as a carbon source. The parameters measured during the process of biodegradation of asphaltene fractions include the quantification of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (g), log total number of bacteria (CFU/ml), and pH. There are four bacteria (isolates 1, 2, 3, and 4) that have been characterized to degrade asphaltic fraction and have been identified as Bacillus sp. Lysinibacillus fusiformes, Acinetobacter sp., and Mycobacterium sp., respectively. The results showed that the highest ability to degrade asphaltene fractions is that of Bacillus sp. (isolate 1) and Lysinibacillus fusiformes (Isolate 2), with biodegradation percentages of asphaltene fractions being 50% and 55%, respectively, and growth rate at the exponential phase is 7.17x107 CFU/mL.days and 4.21x107 CFU/mL.days, respectively.

Abstract

Streptomyces aureofaciens widely produces the antibiotic tetracycline and many other compounds during fermentation. The compounds have yet to be known for their antibacterial potential. This work aims to determine new antibiotics or other possible antibacterial compounds produced by marine S.aureofaceiens A3 through an in silico molecular docking method. The ethyl acetate (EA) extracts from fermented marine S. aureofaciens A3 in ISP4 medium enriched with seawater components showed strong antibacterial activity.  The antibacterial activity of EA extracts during 6-12 days of fermentation was carried out by the Kirby-Bauer method and the compounds of EA extracts were analyzed by GC/MS. Compounds identified by GC/MS were ligands for an in silico molecular docking study against four target proteins (DNA gyrase, topoisomerase IV, PBP 1a, and DHFR) of pathogenic bacteria. The drug-likeness of selected chemicals as antibacterial agents was assessed using Lipinski's Rule of Five. The results showed the prospective compounds as a narrow-spectrum antibacterial, including 3,5-di-tert-Butyl-4-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid against PBP 1a and Benzenepropanoic acid, and 3,5-bis (1,1-dimethyl ethyl)-4-hydroxy-, methyl esters against DHFR. Substances with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, such as 3-Acetylphenanthrene and 3-(p-Ethoxyphenyl)-5-(O-tolyloxymethyl)-2-oxazolidone, against multitarget DNA gyrase B and DHFR, 7,9-Di-tert-butyl-1-oxaspiro (4,5) Deca-6,9-diene-2,8-dione against PBP1a and DHFR, and isobenzofuro [5,6-b] benzofuran-8-carboxylic acid, 1,3-dihydro-7,10-dimethoxy-9-methyl-1-oxo-, methyl ester against DNA gyrase B, PBP 1a, and DHFR. On the 12th day of fermentation, two compounds were identified: isobenzofuro[5,6-b] benzofuran-8-carboxylic acid, 1,3-dihydro-7,10-dimethoxy-9-methyl-1-oxo-, methyl ester, and 3-(p-Ethoxyphenyl)-5-(O-tolyl oxy methyl)-2-oxazolidone.  This is the first report that these two compounds, known as potential drugs like antibiotics through in silico molecular docking, were first produced by Streptomyces species.
