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

Anthracnose disease caused by the fungus Colletotrichum sp. is one of the main problems in chili cultivation (Capsicum annuum L.) and can cause significant yield losses. The intensive use of chemical pesticides in controlling this disease has a negative impact on the environment and health. This study aimed to evaluate the antagonistic potential of phyllosphere fungi isolated from five medicinal plants, namely Phaleria macrocarpa, Curcuma domestica, Kleinhovia hospita, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, and Morus macroura, against the pathogen Colletotrichum sp. Isolation was performed from leaf surfaces, and a total of 7 phyllosphere fungal isolates were tested using a double culture method with three replicates. The results showed that all isolates were able to inhibit the growth of Colletotrichum sp. through mechanisms of competition for space and nutrients as well as antibiosis, with inhibition levels ranging from high to very high. Among the tested isolates, Trichoderma sp. exhibited the highest inhibitory activity with an inhibition percentage of 92.78%, categorized as very high. Macroscopic and microscopic characterization supported the identification of several isolates belonging to the genera Trichoderma. This study concluded that phyllosphere ungi from medicinal plants have the potential as environmentally friendly biological control agents in combating anthracnose disease in chili plants.

Abstract

Etawa goat milk is a highly nutritious food source with strong potential to be developed as a functional food. Its nutritional components—such as protein, fat, and water content—along with the presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), contribute to its health benefits. This study aimed to analyze the proximate characteristics and pH value of Etawa goat milk and to evaluate their relationship with the total LAB count. Milk samples were collected from three locations in Padang City: Gunung Pangilun, Korong Gadang, and Padayo. Proximate analysis was conducted using standard methods from the Indonesian National Standardization Agency, while total LAB was determined using the Total Plate Count method on MRS Agar media. The results showed that moisture content ranged from 86.11–88.93%, protein content from 3.64–4.17%, fat content from 4.00–5.00%, and pH values from 6.70–7.00. The total LAB ranged from 30.66×10⁸ to 48.33×10⁸ CFU/mL, exceeding the minimum threshold required for probiotic sources. Samples with higher protein and fat content tended to have higher LAB counts. In addition, high moisture content and near-neutral pH supported microbial growth. Therefore, the proximate characteristics and pH value of Etawa goat milk are associated with LAB counts, indicating its potential as a natural probiotic source. The findings of this study provide scientific evidence for the utilization of Etawa goat milk as a natural probiotic product and may contribute to the development of dairy-based functional foods and community nutrition programs.

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

Antibiotics were essential medicines in Indonesia, and due to the high prevalence of antimicrobial resistance, new sources of antibiotic substances were urgently needed. One of the microorganisms capable of producing novel antibiotics was thermophilic bacteria. This study aims to isolate thermophilic bacteria from Garara Hot Spring that had potential as antibiotic producers. The results indicated that isolate TUA107 exhibited the strongest antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, with inhibition zones of 6.56 mm and 7.70 mm, respectively. These findings suggested that molecular identification of thermophilic bacteria and metabolomics studies of potential antibiotic-producing isolates from Garara Hot Spring were needed to optimize their potential.

Abstract

Fungal diseases remain a major constraint in chili cultivation, particularly anthracnose and Fusarium wilt. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro biocontrol potential of Trichoderma atroviride and Trichoderma harzianum against Colletotrichum sp. and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. capsici. The study was conducted experimentally using the dual culture method on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) medium with three replications for each treatment. Results showed that both Trichoderma isolates exhibited strong inhibitory activity against the tested pathogens. Trichoderma atroviride showed inhibition percentages of 92% against Colletotrichum sp. and 90% against Fusarium sp., while Trichoderma harzianum inhibited pathogen growth by 73.6% and 85%, respectively. The primary antagonistic mechanism observed was competition for space and nutrients, indicated by the rapid growth of Trichoderma colonies covering the Petri dishes. This study indicates that T. atroviride and T. harzianum have promising in vitro biocontrol potential against Colletotrichum sp. and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. capsici.
