Abstract

Most cases of bacterial resistance towards antibiotics, encourage various efforts to gain new sources of antibiotics. Endophyte bacteria is a microorganism has important role as the producer of bioactive compounds. Endophyte bacteria from Curcuma longa with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities have not been studied yet. Curcuma longa has been utilized as the main ingredients of traditional herbal medicines (jamu). The objective of this research was to investigate the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of endophyte bacteria associated with Curcuma longa rhizome. Based on morphological characteristics of bacterial colonies, eight endophyte bacteria was isolated from Curcuma longa rhizome. Screening of endophyte isolate has antimicrobial activity was done using agar well diffusion method. The culture supernatant of each endophyte isolate was dropped on agar well against pathogenic bacteria Salmonella enterica ser. Typhi, Staphylococcus aureus and yeast Candida albicans. Three endophyte isolates K3, K2 and M1b showed antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria and yeast. Isolate K3 showed strong antimicrobial activity against C. albicans and S. aureus, however, isolate K2 and isolate M1b showed antimicrobial activity against Salmonella enterica ser. Typhi and S. aureus, respectively. Those endophyte bacteria also had antioxidant activity shown by scavenging ability toward DPPH radical with consecutive percentage of isolate K3 (72.3 %), K2 (51.3 %) and M1b (64.6 %). Isolate K3 showed the highest antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. Based on biochemical characteristics using Microbact 24E kit, isolate K3 was identified as Paenibacilus alvei and isolate K2 as Enterobacter agglomerans. Keywords: antimicrobial, antioxidant, Curcuma longa's rhizome, endophyte bacteria.

Abstract

Tidore Island in North Maluku Province is one of the clove (Syzygium aromaticum) producing regions. Clove plant fertility is maintained even though it is not given organic and inorganic fertilizers, it also keeps the fertility of the soil and the environment as a whole. Therefore, this study aims to explore bacteria in the rhizosphere of the clove trees planted in Tidore island as biofertilizer agents of Indol-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) production, phosphate solubilization, and ammonium production. Bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere of clove trees. Screening of the isolates was done according to qualitative and quantitative methods. Data collection of the qualitative method were based on medium color changes for each variable while that the quantitative method (i.e. the concentrations of produced IAA, solubilized phosphate, and produced ammonium) were obtained based on spectrophotometry. The results obtained 110 bacterial isolates. Nineteen bacteria were potential as biofertilizer agents, of which isolate R11, R8P, and A1N showed the highest in IAA production (8.71 μgL-1), phosphate solubilization (8.37 μgL-1), and ammonium production (11.71 μgL-1), respectively. The three isolates respectively have similarities to the genus of Enterobacter, Burkholderia, and Stenotrophomonas. Keywords: Biofertilizer, Clove, Rhizobacteria, Rhizosphere.

Abstract

The increase of crab meat export activities in Indonesia leads to the accumulation of crab shell waste in a massive amount that can naturally degrade and causing bad odor. Naturally, microorganisms will degrade this waste through fermentation and enzymatic reaction, including protease and chitinase due to its high content of chitin and protein. Bacillus is the most potential bacteria to degrade crab shell waste, and indigenous Bacillus from this waste can increase the degradation rates. The aims of this study were to evaluate the proteolytic and chitinolytic activities of indigenous Bacillus species from crab shell waste. Bacillus cereus BP14 and Bacillus licheniformis CK20 as the chitinolytic bacteria, and Bacillus subtilis AP9 and Bacillus licheniformis AP5 as the proteolytic bacteria were isolated from crab shell waste and identified based on the 16S rDNA sequences. The bacterial isolates were grown in skim milk broth for proteolytic characterization and colloidal chitin broth for chitinolytic characterization. The growth rates of each bacteria were determined through the growth curves. The enzymatic activities were determined based on the international standard for protease and chitinase enzyme activities together with growth curve sampling to determine the best incubation time for obtaining the highest enzymatic activities. From the shortest to the longest generation times of the Bacillus species obtained were B. subtilis AP9, B. licheniformis CK20, B. cereus BP14, and B. licheniformis AP5, respectively. The best incubation time for producing the highest enzymatic activity varied among species. However, the end of the logarithmic phase was similar. All of the Bacillus species obtained from this study exhibited chitinolytic and proteolytic activity. Therefore, it can be used as promising candidates of biodegradation agents inenhancing the degradation rates of crab shell wastes.

Abstract

The ready-to-eat vegetables are often associated with the presence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. This study aimed to evaluate the potency of bacteriocin, Asam Sunti extract, and their combination against MDR E. coli in lettuce. Their antimicrobial activity was assessed using the disk diffusion method and bacterial enumeration after direct application in pre-inoculated lettuce with MDR E. coli. The bacteriocin was produced by Lactobacillus plantarum BP102 at optimum production time or during the stationary phase at 18 h. These bacteriocins were able to inhibit five MDR E. coli isolates, while Asam Sunti extract and the combination of bacteriocin and Asam Sunti extract were only able to inhibit three MDR E. coli (LL1.2, LL3.11, and LL3.12) and (LL1.2, LL1.3, and LL3.11), respectively. In direct application to pre-inoculated fresh lettuce, higher inhibition of MDR E. coli was observed after applying the combination of bacteriocin and Asam Sunti extract with a ratio of 1:1 and 1:2, compared to bacteriocin alone. However, the inhibitory activity of this combination treatment was not significantly different (p>0.05) with the Asam Sunti extract alone. The highest rate of decrease in total bacteria in lettuces was 97% occurred in isolate LL1.2 with bacteriocin treatment alone, and isolate LL3.11 with combination treatment of bacteriocin and Asam Sunti extract (1:2). While on MCA media, the best reduction rate of 94% occurred in isolate LL1.2 with treatment using bacteriocin only, Asam Sunti extract only, and their combination (1:2). The inhibition of MDR E. coli in fresh lettuces by bacteriocin, Asam Sunti extract, and their combination was strain-dependent which was indicated by various inhibition results in all treatments.Key words: Asam Sunti extract, Bacteriocin, multidrug resistant.

This study aims to confirm the ability of bacteria isolated from sago pulp waste to produce amylase, evaluate the ability of these amylolytic bacteria to produce IAA fix nitrogen, identify selected bacteria, and apply selected bacteria into granules biofertilizers. Bacteria were isolated from sago pulp waste and grown on a 1% starch agar medium. The amylolytic activity was analyzed qualitatively using iodine and quantitatively using the 3,5-Dinitrosalicylic Acid (DNS) method at pH 6. Amylolytic bacteria were analyzed for IAA production using Salkowsky reagent and nitrogen fixation ability through the Serra Kit method. Potential bacteria were identified based on the similarity of the 16S rDNA sequence. The selected bacteria were grown in a 10mL NB medium, and then bacteria were inoculated and air-dried to obtain the granules. The selected bacteria were put into granules and re-isolated using the total plate count (TPC) method. Eight amylolytic bacteria were obtained from sago pulp waste. L1E isolate had the highest amylolytic activity of 1.228 U.mL-1, and L1D isolate had the highest IAA production of 69.8 g.mL-1. Isolate L1E was identified as Alcaligenes faecalis with a 99.45% similarity index, and L1D was identified as Serratia surfactantfaciens with a 99.09% similarity index. Isolate L2G was identified as Alcaligenes aquatilis with a similarity index of 99.8% of the 16S rDNA sequence.

Abstract

Coffee production in Indonesia continues to increase each year, necessitating sustainable waste management to reduce the accumulation of coffee husk waste in the environment. This waste still contains natural carbon sources that can potentially be utilized as a fermentation medium for bacterial cellulose (BC) production, which is promising for vegan leather applications. This study aims to determine the most effective combination of molasses and ammonium sulfate (ZA) to enhance BC production and optimize the BC pretreatment process for vegan leather application. In this study, chemical composition analysis was also carried out using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis on samples of coffee fruit peel following the thermal delignification process to determine the optimal conditions for the process. BC production was carried out over 14 days with treatment variations of 5%, 10%, and 15% molasses and 0.3%, 0.5%, and 1% ZA. The pretreatment involved pressing and coating with a coconut oil–beeswax mixture, followed by characterization of BC through physicochemical properties, weight, and thickness. The effect of varying concentrations of molasses and ZA in the coffee husk extract medium had an effect on the weight and thickness of the cellulose membrane produced, with optimal results in treatment P3 (10% molasses and 0.3% ZA) (weight 509 g; thickness 9.69 mm). The pH value was measured before and after fermentation and showed a decrease caused by the activity of acetic acid bacteria.
