Abstract

Ijen geopark is one of Indonesia's geoparks, which is located in East Java. A total of 153 bacteria have been isolated from Pelangi Forest, which were then given the isolate code IHP. These bacterial isolates can be utilized in industries, including organic matter decomposer agents, plant biocontrol agents, and probiotics. To ensure these bacteria are safe to use in various fields, they must be non-disease-causing (non-pathogenic). Safety evaluations based on the hemolysis reactions offer simple tests to ease the analysis of potential pathogenic bacteria. The study aimed to evaluate the safety of bacterial isolates from Pelangi Forest for their hemolysis reactions. The hemolysis test was conducted using blood agar media, from which isolates with a negative (λ) reaction. Based on the results of hemolysis tests, 30 out of 153 bacterial isolates (19.60%) were found to be negative reactions. These bacteria are safe to proceed with for potential analysis.

Abstract

Preventing bacterial infections in poultry farms is a key aspect of effective disease management strategies. Enhancing innate immunity serves as a vital preventive measure in chicken farming. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a fundamental component of the bacterial cell wall, has been successfully utilized to boost the innate immune response in susceptible poultry hosts. This study focused on examining the impact of administering crude LPS from Salmonella typhimurium to a domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) strain during its early developmental stages up to the pre-maturation phase. Immune responses in the chicks were evaluated by observing changes in body temperature and leukocyte differentiation. The chickens were divided into two groups: control (injected with 0.85% NaCl) and treatment (injected with the LPS). The injections were applied in three different ages 7 days, 24 days, and 41 days. The body temperature and leukocyte differential data were collected following the LPS injection. Results showed a significant difference in body temperature and heterophil at the ages of 24 and 41, indicating an immune response characterized by inflammation and elevated heterophil levels. There was a significant increase in basal temperature during early development in line with chicks' development to maintain their homeostatic system. This study concludes that the chicks demonstrated resilience to the presence of LPS by exhibiting heightened responses. The increasing of heterophils concentration provided strong evidence of their immune capability to overcome bacterial infections

Abstract

Caffeine-degrading bacteria are organisms capable of utilizing caffeine as a carbon and nitrogen source. Acinetobacter gerneri KAFS 47 is known to possess the ability to degrade caffeine. The type of carbon source present in the growth medium influences the growth pattern and the caffeine degradation capabilities of caffeine-degrading bacteria. The objective of this study was to ascertain the growth pattern of A. gerneri KAFS 47 and to analyze the pattern of caffeine degradation by A. gerneriKAFS 47 in growth media following the addition of caffeine during the logarithmic phase.  The research methodology encompasses the following steps: 1.) Constructing a growth curve for A. gerneri KAFS 47 using M9 supplemented with 2.5 g/L glucose, M9 supplemented with 2.5 g/L caffeine, M9 supplemented with 2.5 g/L glucose with an additional 2.5 g/L caffeine introduced midway through the logarithmic phase (12 hours), and M9 supplemented with 2.5 g/L glucose with an added 5 g/L caffeine at the midpoint of the logarithmic phase (12 hours); and  2.) developing a caffeine degradation curve for A. gerneri KAFS 47. The addition of caffeine during the logarithmic phase at concentrations of 2.5 g/L and 5 g/L enhanced the logarithmic growth phase of  A. gerneriKAFS 47 in media with a glucose carbon source. Notably, the degradation of caffeine by A. gerneri KAFS 47 was observed to be slower in media containing glucose with added caffeine (2.5 g/L and 5 g/L) compared to media where caffeine served as the sole carbon source.
