Abstract

This study aims to analyze the growth rate of marine bacteria producing protease using variations in the concentration of skim milk media and to observe the relationship between cell growth and enzyme activity. The study was conducted using three concentrations of skim milk media (1%, 2%, and 3%) and observation of growth and enzyme activity for 108 hours. The results showed that 1% skim milk concentration produced the largest proteolytic zone diameter (13.8 mm) with the fastest growth (1 day). Observations of cell growth patterns and enzyme activity showed that the highest enzyme activity (0.5933 U/mL) occurred in the early growth phase and decreased in subsequent phases even though cell growth increased. This indicates that there is no linear relationship between cell growth and enzyme activity in marine bacteria-producing protease, where enzyme production and activity are influenced by various complex factors such as physiological conditions of the cells and nutrient availability.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the toxicity and cytotoxicity of the fragment peptide from symbiotic bacteria in the lung cancer LK-2 cell line, compared normal M5S cell line. Protein hydrolyzates were separated using Molecular Weight Cut Off (MWCO) to isolate peptide fragments. Fragments were categorized as ≤ 5 kDa, > 5-10 kDa, and > 10 kDa to evaluate their toxicity through the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method and to study cytotoxicity effects and proliferation in LK-2 lung cancer cells against normal M5S cells. MTT assay was used to analyze the percentage of living cells and cell growth. The Selectivity Index (SI) equation was applied to determine selectivity. Findings indicated that the peptide fragment ≤ 5 kDa had the highest toxicity, with an LC50 of 8.15 µg/ml. The number of LK-2 cells that died increased when exposed to peptide fragments of sizes ≤ 5 kDa, > 5-10 kDa, and > 10 kDa over 16 hours. Moreover, cell growth in LK-2 cells decreased after 16 hours, while there was no significant decline (P < 0.05) in M5S cells compared to the controls. The peptide fragments with molecular weights ≤ 5 kDa and > 5-10 kDa demonstrated the highest selectivity, resulting in an SI value of 3. These results suggest that the selected peptide fragments may serve effectively as anticancer agents. This study highlights the potential of peptides from symbiotic bacteria as possible treatments for cancer, particularly lung cancer.

Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 9 Agustus 2025 dengan melibatkan 40 peserta. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan peserta sebesar 38,75% berdasarkan perbandingan skor pre-test (rata-rata 10,575) dan post-test (rata-rata 18,325). Kegiatan praktik pembuatan pengawet alami menunjukkan antusiasme tinggi dari peserta, dengan mayoritas merasa percaya diri menerapkan teknologi ini di rumah. Kitosan yang dihasilkan terbukti dapat memperpanjang masa simpan produk perikanan hingga 2-3 kali lipat dan memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi sekitar Rp 75.000-100.000 per kilogram. Program ini berhasil meningkatkan kesadaran nelayan tentang pentingnya ekonomi sirkular dalam perikanan dan memberikan solusi berkelanjutan untuk mengatasi masalah limbah cangkang rajungan sekaligus menciptakan peluang ekonomi baru bagi masyarakat pesisir. Kata kunci: limbah cangkang rajungan; kitosan; pengawet alami; pemberdayaan nelayan; teknologi pengolahan limbah. Abstract Crab shell waste, which accounts for 40-60% of the total weight of crabs, is often dumped into the environment, causing pollution in coastal areas. This community service activity aims to provide education and training to the "Mappedeceng" fishing group in Lasitae Village, Tanete Rilau District, Barru Regency, on the utilization of crab shell waste into chitosan as a natural preservative. The implementation method consists of three stages: preparation, implementation (counseling, processing technology training, and direct practice), and evaluation through a pre-post test. The activity was carried out on August 9, 2025, involving 40 participants. The evaluation results showed an increase in participant knowledge of 38.75% based on a comparison of pre-test scores (average 10.575) and post-test (average 18.325). The practical activity of making natural preservatives showed high enthusiasm from the participants, with the majority feeling confident in applying this technology at home. The resulting chitosan has been proven to extend the shelf life of fishery products by two to three times and has a high economic value of around IDR 75,000-100,000 per kilogram. This program has successfully raised awareness among fishermen about the importance of a circular economy in fisheries and provided a sustainable solution to address the problem of crab shell waste while creating new economic opportunities for coastal communities. Keywords: crab shell waste; chitosan; natural preservative; fishermen empowerment; waste processing technology.

Abstract

Mining has been a practice spanning millennia, leaving behind a legacy of mine waste containing hazardous substances, including various metals in nearly every country. Indonesia is one of the most nickel-rich regions in the world. Some of these resources are located in the Sulawesi and North Maluku regions. Sulawesi includes Central Sulawesi, South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi. Pollutants in the form of mercury metal (Hg), lead metal (Pb), cadmium metal (Cd), and chromium metal (Cr) are considered toxic and difficult to remove due to their stable nature. Effective remediation methods are imperative in response to this issue, among which bioremediation and phytoremediation stand out. Bioremediation employs microorganisms to detoxify the environment of heavy metals, while phytoremediation utilizes plants for the same purpose. Both methods involve intricate interactions among plants, microbes, and their substrates to purify the environment and facilitate further filtration. Bioremediation encompasses two primary approaches: the in-situ method and the ex-situ method. In situ methods include bioventing, biosparging, bioaugmentation, and biostimulation. Ex-situ methods, contaminated soil or water is retrieved from its origin and purified elsewhere by living organisms; this process utilizes bioreactors, aeration, steam regulation, and additional nutrients to increase the rate of pollutant decomposition. The bioremediation mechanism involving microorganisms employs biosorption, bioaccumulation, biotransformation, and bioleaching. Phytoremediation employs several methods, including phytoextraction, phytofiltration, phytovolatilization, phytodegradation, and phytodesalination. Identifying efficient hyperaccumulators is the most direct approach for successful heavy metal phytoremediation. Bioremediation and phytoremediation techniques are economical and suitable solutions to address heavy metal pollution in polluted environments. With a deeper understanding of these techniques, it is hoped that we can more effectively address these complex environmental challenges, particularly in mining areas in Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Abstract

The incorporated metal nanoparticles in a polysaccharide-based film exhibit efficient antibacterial activity against harmful germs. However, previous studies have used a commercial polysaccharide for their film production. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a natural polysaccharide-based film extracted from the local algae Gracilaria sp. originating from Sinjai Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Firstly, the polysaccharide agarose was isolated and its properties compared with those of commercial agarose. A present low-cost isolation process produces agarose with 1.8% (w/w) of yield. Results also showed physicochemical properties similar to those of the commercial agarose. Secondly, the agarose-based antibacterial film was synthesized at 0, 0.5, and 1% glycerol concentrations. The synthesized film was incorporated with silver (Ag) and copper (Cu) nanoparticles (NPs). Morphological, mechanical, and physicochemical properties of the incorporated Ag-agarose and Cu-agarose films were characterized using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), Universal Testing Machine (UTM), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. Results showed the film stiffness and tensile strength increased by incorporating either AgNPs or CuNPS. The interaction of AgNPs-agarose most likely involves physical bonds, while the interaction of CuNPs-agarose forms coordination bonds. An antibacterial test showed that the Ag-agarose nanocomposite inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Bacillus subtilis. In the meantime, Cu-agarose prevented the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. Overall, antibacterial activity was influenced by the interaction between metal nanoparticles and agarose, the concentration of metal nanoparticles, and the film's solubility. An agarose-based antibacterial film from Gracilaria sp. has the potential for use in various applications, including food packaging, pharmaceuticals, and other industries.
