Abstract

Sponge-associated marine fungi are potential source for secondary metabolite compounds. The aim of this research was to investigate sponge-associated marine fungus as secondary metabolite producers against Escherichia coli. The fungus was isolated from Indonesian marine sponge Stylissa sp. and identified as Aspergillus hortai through a combination of morphological and molecular characteristics of ITS DNA and β-tubulin genes. The fungus was tested against E. coli using fungal broth and mycelial extracts. The optimized condition was achieved by fungal broth grown in corn meal broth at 6-days of shaking incubation. Fungal extract was produced using three liters of filtered fungal broth and extracted in ethyl acetate. The antibiotic activity of the extract is vulnerable to 45°C heat and basic or acidic conditions. Therefore, the extraction was done at pH 7 with evaporation at 40°C. The extract shows 7 major bands on TLC with 1 band shows activity against E. coli (Rf 0.81) on bioautogram. The band was observed as a yellow color and turned black in short-wave UV and did not show any fluorescence in long-wave UV. This research shows that sponge-associated marine fungi obtained from Indonesia has the potential as anti E. coli worth to be explored for searching new antibiotics.

Abstract

Temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza) is known to be used as ingredient in Jamu and traditionally utilized to cure a range of illness. The global market demand for the rhizome of the temulawak affecting the urgency of sustainable rizhome production. The aim of this research was to analyze the effects of root endophytic and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on growth and rhizome curcumin content of the temulawak. There were five fungal inoculation treatments on C. xanthorrhiza seedling grown in sterilized and unsterilized growth media. They were root endophytic fungi A. niger (A), Glomus sp. (G), combination of A. niger and AMF Glomus sp. applied at the same time (GA) and at different time (G-A) and control. The experiment was conducted under greenhouse condition. The plant growth parameters, fungal colonization, and rhizomes curcumin content were measured. The result showed that there was a significant interaction between fungal inoculation and control treatments. In general, fungal inoculation on both sterilized and unsterilized growth media increased the plant growth and rhizomes curcumin content. On the sterilized growth media, C. xanthorrhiza inoculated by A. niger showed the best growth parameter. On the other hand, the best growth parameter on the unsterilized media was showed by C. xanthorrhiza inoculated by mixed fungal inoculums. The highest amount of curcumin content was showed by C. xanthorrhiza inoculated by Glomus sp. as a single inoculation.
