Abstract

Mitochondrial gene mutation plays a role in the development of type two diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A point mutation in the mitochondrial gene Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase 1 (mtDNA ND1) gene mainly reported as the most common mutation related to T2DM. However, several studies have identified another SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) in the RNA region of mtDNA from patients from specific ethnic populations in Indonesia. Building on those findings, this study aimed to use PCR and DNA sequencing technology to identify nucleotides in RNA and ND1 fragment from 20 Gorontalonese and 20 Javanese T2DM patients, that may trigger T2DM expression. The results showed successful amplification of RNA along 294 bp for all samples. From these samples, we found two types of point  mutation in Javanese patients in the G3316A and  T3200C points of the rRNA and ND1 gene. In samples taken from Gorontalonese patients, no mutation were found in the RNA or ND1 region. We conclude that T2DM was triggered differently in our two populations. While genetic mutation is implicated for the 20 Javanese patients, T2DM pathogenesis in the Gorontalonese patients must be traced to other genetic, environmental, or behavioral factors.

Abstract

Biofouling is a settlement process from marine organisms initiated by biofilm (microbial layers). Corrosion on the vessels, pipelines under the sea, oil plants, etc are big problems in the industrial today cause adversely affects. Antifouling paints have been developed to prevent settlement of organisms, however antifouling paints contain heavy metals and biocides which have toxic effects on marine ecosystems. Antifouling compound which environmental friendly is a solution for one of the paint component. The aim of this research was to isolate bacteria associated with brown algae which had potential to produce antifouling compound from Karimunjawa islands, Jepara.Isolate KS1-1 showed antifouling activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa as biofilm-forming bacteria.This isolate had been characterized in morphology, moleculer and biochemichal identification.Moleculer analyses of 16S rRNA sequence, KS1-1 showed similarity 94% from 287 bp with Vibrio sp. W-137-16S ribosomal RNA gene, partial sequence. Keywords : Antifouling, Phaeophyta,Biofouling, 16S rRNA, Vibrio
