Abstract

The rapid increase in antimicrobial resistance has encouraged development of new natural and urgent strategies to fight drug-resistant pathogens, one of which is using endophytic fungi. Endophytic fungi found in Ceriops tagal mangrove plant, which can adapt to extreme salinity environments of up to 60 ppt. Endophytic fungi are isolated from leaves, branch, and roots. Each isolate was identified morphologically and cultured in potato dextrose broth media for 21 days. After incubation, liquid culture was extracted with ethyl acetate and evaporated to obtain a thick extract. The Kirby Bauer method was used to evaluate the antibiotic potential of each endophytic fungal extract against pathogenic microbes Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. Concentration used was 5%, antibiotics used as positive controls were chloramphenicol (30μg/disk), nystatin (100 IU/disk), as negative controls DMSO. Three endophytic fungi were isolated from roots (ECT7, ECT 8, ECT 10), two from leaves (ECT 26, ECT 28) and six from branches (ECT 31, ECT 47, ECT 48, ECT 51, ECT 55 and ECT 85). Fungal isolates ECT10 has been proven to effectively exhibit strong antibiotic activity against microorganisms E. coli, S. aureus, and C. albicans, with inhibition zones measuring 13.0 mm, 11.8 mm, and 11.6 mm, respectively.

Abstract

The rising incidence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria presents a considerable global health threat, requiring the immediate creation of new antimicrobial drugs. A possible strategy involves investigating antibiotics sourced from endophytic bacteria, which are microorganisms that inhabit plant tissues symbiotically. This research is to assess the inhibitory efficacy of endophytic bacteria derived from Lagenaria sicerari against, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The identified endophytic bacteria were cultivated in a fermentation medium to synthesize antibiotics, and their growth curves were examined. Subsequently, antibacterial activity assays were performed against the three harmful bacteria, measuring the sizes of the clear inhibitory zones. The results indicated that Isolated Bacteria Endophytic (IBE) 1 attained optimal inoculum levels at 24 hours and sustained the stationary phase from 24 to 36 hours. The isolates exhibited optimum fermentation on a medium utilizing glucose as the carbon source, with a carbon-to-nitrogen ratio of 5. IBE 1 had the most effective antibacterial action against P. aeruginosa, with a moderate inhibition characterized by clear zone widths of 10.80 mm. The findings indicate that endophytic bacteria from Lagenaria siceraria may serve as promising sources of new antimicrobial drugs, especially against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract

Indonesia encounters many significant challenges in organic waste management, with 37.87% of the total 38.7 million tonnes of national waste (in 2024) unmanaged. Organic waste, such as fruit peels, which are often dumped into landfill, contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution. Ecoenzyme, a fermentation product of organic waste (1:3:10 ratio of sugar, substrate, water), is emerging as an innovative solution for waste conversion into value-added products. Besides reducing waste volume, ecoenzymes produce ozone (O₃) that suppresses the greenhouse effect, antimicrobial acetic acid, and natural cleaning compounds. Fruit peels such as orange, banana, papaya, watermelon and pineapple are potential substrates due to their cellulose and pectin content, but the characteristics of ecoenzyme depend on the interaction of chemical (pH, Total Acid Titration/TTA) and biological (Lactic Acid Bacteria/BAL, yeast) parameters. Previous studies focused on ecoenzymes based on one type of fruit peel, while the potential of combinations of various fruit peels has not been explored holistically. This study aims to analyse the characteristics of fruit peel combination ecoenzymes through evaluation of chemical (pH, TTA) and microbiological (LAB population, yeast) parameters. The results are expected to provide scientific guidance for the production of high-quality ecoenzymes while supporting sustainable organic waste reduction strategies.

Abstract

Bioplastic P(3HB) is a plastic that can be decomposed by decomposing microorganisms. Bacteria can produce P(3HB) in conditions of low nutrition and high carbon sources accumulated in cells as energy reserves. Isolation of bacteria-producing bioplastic P(3HB) was carried out in mackerel fish's gills and intestines, allowing direct contact with polluted waters. This research aimed to determine the presence of P(3HB) bioplastic-producing bacteria in mackerel fish samples and to screen for P(3HB) bioplastic-producing bacteria. The stages of the research were the isolation of P(3HB) producing bacteria from the gills and intestines of mackerel fish, screening of P(3HB) bioplastic-producing bacteria by using Nile Blue A staining, and molecular identification of bioplastic-producing bacteria using 16S rRNA gene. The results of bacterial isolation in the gills and intestines of mackerel obtained 10 bacterial isolates. P(3HB) screening found 1 bacterium showing orange fluorescence, namely IKE-1 isolate which was isolated from the gills of mackerel fish and included in the Gram-negative group with a monobacilli cell shape. Molecular identification of bacteria by using the 16S rRNA gene that isolate IKE-1 is Enterobacter roggenkampii. These results indicate that Enterobacter roggenkampii can produce P(3HB) which was confirmed by the screening results

Abstract

Tumbuhan mangrove Ceriops tagal diketahui sebagai salah satu sumber jamur endofitik yang mampu menghasilkan senyawa metabolit bioaktif dengan berbagai aktivitas biologis, termasuk potensi sebagai antibiotik untuk mengatasi masalah resistensi antimikroba yang terus meningkat secara global. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengisolasi jamur endofitik Aspergillus spp. dari daun, akar, dan ranting C. tagal, serta mengevaluasi potensinya sebagai penghasil senyawa antibiotik terhadap Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, dan Candida albicans. Isolat dikultivasi pada suhu ruang selama 7 hari dalam kondisi statis, kemudian metabolit sekundernya diuji menggunakan metode difusi cakram (Kirby-Bauer). Sebanyak delapan isolat Aspergillus spp. berhasil diperoleh, yaitu AS7, AS8, AS12, AS26, AS47, AS51, AS53, dan AS85, yang menunjukkan variasi morfologi koloni serta potensi antibakteri. Hasil uji menunjukkan sebagian besar isolat mampu menghambat pertumbuhan E. coli dan S. aureus, tetapi tidak menunjukkan aktivitas terhadap C. albicans. Aktivitas terhadap E. coli umumnya lemah, kecuali AS8 (10,45 mm) yang tergolong kuat. Aktivitas terhadap S. aureus lebih tinggi, dengan tiga isolat AS7 (11,89 mm), AS12 (11,45 mm), dan AS51 (10,92 mm) masuk dalam kategori kuat. Dari delapan isolat yang diperoleh, AS7, AS8, AS12, dan AS51 menunjukkan aktivitas kuat terhadap Staphylococcus aureus dan Escherichia coli, namun tidak menunjukkan aktivitas terhadap Candida albicans.

Abstract

This study aimed to isolate, screen, and partially characterize protease-producing thermophilic bacteria from the Padang Dama hot spring, Solok, Indonesia. The main issue addressed in this study is the limited information regarding thermophilic bacteria capable of producing protease enzymes from this geothermal environment, despite their potential use in industrial processes requiring stable enzymes. Isolation was carried out using Nutrient Agar followed by incubation at 50 °C for 24 hours. Screening of protease activity was performed using Skim Milk Agar based on clear zone formation, and the proteolytic index (PI) was calculated to evaluate enzyme activity. Selected isolates were further characterized through macroscopic, microscopic, and biochemical analyses. The results showed that three isolates exhibited proteolytic activity, with isolate TUA-109 showing the highest proteolytic index, indicating superior enzymatic potential compared to other isolates. Partial characterization revealed that isolate TUA-109 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium with positive catalase activity and motility, which are important traits supporting its adaptability and potential for enzyme production under extreme conditions. These findings highlight the potential of thermophilic bacteria from the Padang Dama hot spring as sources of protease enzymes, with isolate TUA-109 identified as a promising candidate for further investigation, particularly for industrial enzyme production. Future studies are recommended to optimize enzyme production and evaluate its application in industrial processes.
