Abstract

The pollination of oil palm by Elaeidobius kamerunicus leads to an increase of over 70% in countries such as India, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The impact of insect-microbiome interactions on the pollination activity and fitness of E. kamerunicus is unknown. Our study aimed to gain insight into the bacterial communities of E. kamerunicus from two different sites with high and low fruit set percentages, using culturable and Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis. Our result revealed distinctive T-RFs profiles in E. kamerunicus from two different sites. Additionally, the culturable approach showed that some of this microbiome were found only in the weevil population from the high fruit set site. Our findings suggest that these bacteria could contribute to the fitness of E. kamerunicus, leading to a higher fruit set in oil palm plantations.

Abstract

An increasing number of diabetic patients and the demand for insulin encourage the development of recombinant insulin production on a large scale. Human insulin precursor (HIP) expressed by Mut+ Pichia pastoris using methanol as an inducer was developed. However, methanol above 5% (w/v) or 1.56 M is toxic for the host. Sorbitol was introduced as a co-substrate with methanol. To our knowledge, the study of methanol/sorbitol co-feeding on human insulin precursor (HIP) expression by Mut+ Pichia pastoris in a bioreactor has yet to be reported. This study aimed to investigate the influence of the methanol-sorbitol co-feeding ratio on the expression of HIP expressed by P. pastoris X33 Mut+. The study was conducted by comparing the cultivation of P. pastoris/pD902-IP Mut+ in a 10-liter bioreactor under three conditions: feeding 100% methanol, mass ratio of MeOH:sorbitol 12:1 and 3:1. The oxygen consumption of methanol/sorbitol is less than the methanol feeding. The mass ratio of MeOH:sorbitol 12:1 produced the highest HIP titer (1326.5 mg/L), 1.5 times higher than methanol feeding, the lowest specific growth rate, but the highest specific productivity at the induction phase. MeOH:sorbitol mass ratio 3:1 produced the highest dry cell weight (DCW) amount (96 g/L). These results suggested that an appropriate ratio of sorbitol-methanol can be a choice to replace methanol feeding in a Mut+ P. pastoris.

Abstract

Processing tuna fish (Euthynnus affinis) produces wastes like heads, tails, and viscera, which can pollute the environment. However, this waste is nutrient-rich and can serve as a source of peptones, antimicrobials, and antioxidants. Align with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the zero-waste concept, which emphasizes reducing waste production, this study aims to analyze the role of Pediococcus pentosaceusIL13 in the fermentation of tuna fish waste. The fermentation process was conducted over 30 days using two types of fermentation, spontaneously and with the addition of P. pentosaceus IL13 culture. Bacterial dynamics, pH, protein content, and amino acid concentration were monitored to assess fermentation performance. The study found a reduction in total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) along with an increase in pH in both types of fermentation over time. Maximum protein and free amino acid levels were observed on day 10. In the spontaneous fermentation, protein concentrations were 5.590.15% in the liquid phase and 20.051.19% in the solid phase. In the fermentation with added culture, protein concentrations were 6.590.57% in the liquid phase and 19.560.00% in the solid phase. Amino acid concentrations were 4821.11149.3 ppm for spontaneous fermentation and 6271.11377.1 ppm for fermentation with culture. The protein hydrolysates in the liquid phase have antibacterial activity against S. typhi.

Abstract

The type of coffee commonly grown by Indonesian farmers is robusta coffee (Coffea robusta). The processing of robusta coffee has so far focused on producing coffee beans with good flavor, leaving behind coffee pulp waste that needs to be utilized. This study aims to utilize coffee pulp waste to produce vinegar through a fermentation process using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Acetobacter aceti. Vinegar production begins by rejuvenating A. aceti in YPG media and creating a growth curve. The fermentation of coffee pulp into vinegar involves two fermentation stages: alcoholic fermentation and acetic acid fermentation. Observation of the culture at the end of fermentation includes pH value, total acetic acid content, sugar content, and substrate utilization efficiency in product formation. The growth curve of A. aceti reaches the log phase at the 6th to 8th hour with a µmax of 0.45 hours-1. Vinegar from coffee pulp has the highest total acetic acid in 10 days of alcoholic fermentation and 7 days of acetic acid fermentation, which is 2.37%, with a pH value of 3.02, a Yp/s value of 0.995, and a ∆S/S value of 0.69. The amount of acetic acid obtained does not fulfill the requirements of SNI 01-4371-1996.

Abstract

AHPND causes up to 80% of shrimp mortality, severely impacting Indonesia's aquaculture. Rising antibiotic resistance necessitates sustainable alternatives. This study investigates the probiotic potential of Pseudomonas alcaligenes SG03, a bacterium with unique genomic traits, to address antibiotic resistance and promote animal health. Genome analysis revealed a 6.17 Mb genome with 4,446 protein clusters, including genes for carbohydrate metabolism (26.63%), amino acid metabolism (19.93%), and energy metabolism (10.88%). Key probiotic-related genes, such as acid resistance (rpoS, actP), salinity tolerance (gshA, cysK), antibiotic resistance (vanB, gyrA), and metal resistance (copZ, zwf), were identified. In vitro, assays evaluated probiotic properties under conditions mimicking the shrimp gastrointestinal tract. Osmo-tolerance tests showed optimal growth at 10% glucose, with a significant drop in viability at higher concentrations. Autoaggregation increased progressively, reaching 0.78 at 18 hours and 0.13 at 48 hours. Optimal growth occurred at 30°C, with a 2.5-fold increase in optical density compared to 25°C. NaCl tolerance peaked at 2% (20.33×1012 CFU at 48 hours), while bile salt tolerance was highest at 0.1% (27.00×1012 CFU at 48 hours). pH tolerance was optimal at pH 5 (20.00×1012 CFU at 48 hours). Antioxidant (53.00%) and anti-inflammatory (60.33%) activities peaked after 48 hours. Phenotypic antibiotic resistance was observed against Tetracycline, Amoxicillin, Cefixime, Streptomycin, and Chloramphenicol, with proteolytic activity but no lipolytic or hemolytic properties. These findings highlight P. alcaligenes SG03’s potential as a probiotic in aquaculture to support shrimp health and reduce antibiotic dependency. Future studies should focus on in vivo validation and formulation development.

Abstract

The growth rate of chickens can be improved by using probiotics as alternatives to antibiotics. Bacillus spp. as probiotics are particularly beneficial due to ability to form spores, which remain stable as commercial products over extended periods. This study aimed to isolate and select Bacillus spp. from Jasinga soil as probiotic candidates for chickens. A total of 15 isolates obtained of these, 12 were identified as Bacillus spp based on microscopic observations and screening test including ascertaining hemolysis, protease, amylase, and cellulase activities. Only six isolates exhibited gamma hemolysis and the ability to hydrolyze proteins, starch, and cellulose. Isolates BTJ1.1, 1.2, 1.4, and 2.3 poliferated in 0.3% bile salts. BTJ1.1, 1.2 and 2.3 also exhibited antimicrobial activity and sensitivity to amoxicillin, tetracycline, and rifampicin. BTJ1.1 and 2.3 were highly hydrophobic, a key probiotic trait. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that BTJ1.1 and 2.3 were >99% similar to B. amyloliquefaciens strain B54 and B. subtilis strain ASI3, respectively, highlighting their potential as probiotics.

Abstract

There were 3 prospective isolates of cellulolytic bacteria resulted from the total of 31 isolates we found, i.e. C4-4, C5-1, and C11-1.  Four combinations of bacteria including C4-4 + Xilanolytic (A), C5-1 + Xilanolytic (B), C11-1 + Xilanolytic (C), 45I-3 + 234P-16 (D), and control (E, without bacteria) were applied as inoculant of rice straw decomposition.  In the incubation period the pH-H2O value of C4-4 + Xilanolytic (A) and C5-1 + Xilanolytic (B) was relatively stable.  The C/N ratio of all treatments decreased after 3 weeks of incubation.  The C/N ratio value of A, B, C, D and E treatments were 22.48, 23.43, 27.49, 26.82, and 29.53 respectively.  Decomposition rate all of combination treatments were faster than the control.  The content of macro-micro nutrient of A, B, C, and D treatments increased in the end of measurement, while the control didn’t.  The physical characteristic of substrate after incubation was better in A and B treatments that others.  The result indicated that the combination of C4-4 + Xilanolytic (A) and C5-1 + Xilanolytic (B) bacteria were the best combination for decomposition of rice straw.

Abstract

Sweet corn straw has nutritional value comparable to wheat and has the potential to be used as animal feed; however, its high crude fiber concentration reduces digestion. The purpose of this study was to assess nine lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolates from cocoa fermentation (H 0.3, H 0.13, H 0.17, H 0.24, H 0.26, H 1.22, H 2.34, H 3.1, and H 3.3) as inoculants in silage production from corn straw. LAB identification was done using CaCO₃-clear zone tests, morphological examination, and catalase testing. Isolates H 0.13 and H 2.34 performed the best, as evidenced by low pH, significant lactic acid generation, and reduced water-soluble carbohydrates. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, both were identified as Lactiplantibacillus species. Silage showed good qualities, both with and without inoculants: slightly fine to moderately coarse texture, yellowish-green hue, and sour scent. Minor fungal growth was seen in inoculated samples. The nutritional content met the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) for cow feed, with low crude fiber (13.11−13.58%) and ash level (2.72−3.36%). Fermentation quality was judged "very good," with a Fleigh value higher than 85. Finally, Lactiplantibacillus isolates H 0.13 and H 2.34 work well as inoculants for sweet corn straw silage, enhancing its nutritional and fermentative quality.

Abstract

Robusta coffee is widely cultivated in Indonesia, but it struggles to dominate the global market due to its bitterness, slightly sour taste, and higher caffeine content. Coffee bean fermentation can be done to reduce undesirable characteristics in robusta coffee. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of lactic acid bacteria fermentation on the quality of coffee and its brewing characteristics, comparing it to spontaneous fermentation. The goal was to explore the potential of fermented coffee beans as functional beverages with health benefits. Three lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolates were tested, and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum H 2.34 was identified as the most effective starter culture for coffee fermentation. After 12 hours of fermentation using coffee mucilage, LAB growth was significantly enhanced. A significant increase in flavonoid content was observed in coffee fermented with the starter culture. All brewed coffee samples demonstrated strong antioxidant activity, and LAB fermentation successfully reduced caffeine content by 4.85%. These results suggest that fermented robusta coffee could offer functional health benefits while improving its sensory profile.
