Abstract

Transposon is well-known as mobile element found abundant both in prokaryote and eukaryote genomes. In bacteria, transposon (famous name of a transposable DNA) could jump from chromosome to plasmid and its contrary. One type of transposons in bacteria known as insertion sequence (IS), it does not contain any additional genes except a gene encoding transposase, an enzyme that correlated to transponsition activities. The finding of transposon insertion unfortunately found during cloning of a fragment derived from deep-sea metagenomic DNA in this research. In the initial, this research was aimed to clone and characterize the á-amylase encoded gene derived from metagenomic DNA isolated from deep-sea water and sediment of Kawio Island, North Sulawesi. Metagenomic DNA has been isolated from deep-sea water and sediment and by using Whole Genome Amplification (WGA) technique, the DNA it could be increased in quantities to 146,31 ng for each 1 ng of metagenomic DNA. A fragment of ~1000 bp in length was obtained by using touchdown PCR method. The presence of a transposon in this DNA fragment is proposed as a hypothesis for losing ~700 bp leaving just 310 bp cloned sequence. Analysis of sequencing result showed a highest similarity between this 310 bp partial fragment with a replication protein (Rep) encoded gene from Pseudomonas putida (Query Coverage: 88%; Max. Identity: 80%, Positive: 86%) and this protein is known to be involved in plasmid replication where transposase encoding genes known usually presence together with this gene (Rep gene) in a bacterial plasmid.

Abstract

Process Optimization for Endoglucanase Gene Expression Derived from Bacillus sp. RP1 by Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3)/egcABSTRACTCellulases are one of the most used enzymes in industrial processes. In an effort to increase production, industries have developed strategies such as isolating new cellulase producing strains, genetic engineering and process optimization since the last 50 years. One endoglucanase producing strain, Bacillus sp. RP1 was isolated from hot springs. The ribosome binding site and coding sequence of the endoglucanase gene (egc) from Bacillus sp. RP1 was cloned into pGEM-T Easy. The recombinant plasmid was used to transform E. coli BL21 (DE3). Cloning was followed by process optimization. Medium composition was selected using Plackett-Burman design. The medium components tested were rice hull, molasses, ammonium chloride, urea and fishmeal. Rice hull and molasses were found to be the factors most influencing enzyme activity and dry cell weight, respectively. The next step involved Box-Behnken method and response surface methodology to optimize the responses against molasses concentration, rice hull concentration and fermentation time. The concentration intervals used to test were 1%, 5.5% and 10% while the fermentation time used were 24, 36 and 48 hours. The conditions which optimized both enzyme activity and dry cell weight were 7.45% molasses, 6.45% rice hull and 39.52 hours of fermentation.Keywords: Bacillus sp.

Abstract

The face is an important visual stimulus in daily life and each face identifies a particular person. The bone structure of the skull along with various soft tissues and coloration influence perception of the face. Facial averageness, and bilateral symmetry are the two most commonly used criterion of facial attractiveness, yet, both may be perceived differently based on hormonal status of the person observed. Facial perceptions may also differ according to cultural norms. In this research, we examined variations in face-shape among Sundanese male and female adults aged 18 to 40. We applied geometric-morphometric methods to analyze the landmark-based morphological variations in the frontal and lateral views of subjects’ faces. We identified five types of female frontal face views and four of male. We also identified five types each of female and male lateral face views. The trichion, gonion and gnathion were three most variable landmarks among the face views in our study, and highly determined the shape of the individuals’ faces. Multiple face type variation may refer to many categories of attractive faces since there is no exactly perfect category in the assessment of facial attractiveness by the viewers. Therefore, we believe that the configuration of facial features cannot constitute the sole visual criterion of facial attractiveness.

Abstract

One of the important enzymes in cellulase complex is β-glucosidase. In this research, adding signal peptide of inulinase gene from Kluyveromyces marxianus, cloning, and expressing of bglp15.2 gene in S. cerevisiae BY4741 had been done. Gene of bglp15.2 encoding β-glucosidase has 90% identity to nucleotide sequence of Shewanella frigidimarina NCIMB 400 bacteria. Adding nucleotide sequence of signal peptide was aimed to secrete β-glucosidase and had been done with PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) method. The addition of nucleotide sequence of signal peptide in bglp15.2 gene had been done succesfully that indicated from nucleotide sequencing result and the increment of amplicon band size in electroferogram of the last addition PCR step. The bglp15.2 and bglp15.2INU gene (the bglp15.2 gene that has signal peptide nucleotide sequence) were cloned in Escherichia coli DH5α using pGEM-T-Easy vector and pBEVY-GL shuttle vector. The pBEVY-GL shuttle vector was used for transforming S. cerevisiae BY4741 with bglp15.2 and bglp15.2INU. The recombinant S. cerevisiae BY4741 carrying bglp15.2INU gene and growing in 48 hours had extracellularly β-glucosidase enzyme activity of 0,0178 U/ml and the intracellularly activity was 0,0181 U/ml. The  β-glucosidase enzyme without signal peptide was not secreted. With K. marxianus inulinase signal peptide, about 50% Bglp15.2INU protein could be secreted. The protein molecular weight of secreted Bglp15.2INU was 44 kDa in SDS-PAGE result.

Abstract

Endoglucanase is used in industries that apply high temperatures, such as bioethanol, detergent, paper, and animal feed industries. Most available endoglucanases have very low stability at high temperatures. Therefore, this study aimed to identfy a new thermostable endoglucanase that is able to maintain its actvity at high temperatures. Five isolates of thermophilic bacteria were previously isolated from the hydrothermal vent of West Kawio, Indonesia. Among them, the DSI2 isolate showed the highest endoglucanase actvity, and was identfed and named as Bacillus safensis DSI2. The EgDSI2 gene was cloned from B. safensis DSI2. EgDSI2 is 1851 bp long encoding a protein of 616 amino acids. The encoded protein, EgDSI2, has high sequence identty to other B. safensis endoglucanases and was predicted with the Compute pI/Mw tool to be 69.41 kDa. EgDSI2 was high in hydrophobic amino acids. The enzyme had higher percentage of Ala andPro, and lower percentage of Gly compared to thermolabile endoglucanases from two Bacillus species. EgDSI2 harbored a catalytc domain belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 9 (GH9) and a type 3 cellulose‐binding domain (CBM3). Propertes of endoglucanases with GH9‐CBM3 modular organizaton include actvity over a wide pH range, high optmum temperature, and thermostablity. Therefore, EgDSI2 has potental applicatons in the industries.

Abstract

In the present study, ten mercury-resistant heterotrophic bacterial strains were isolated from mercurycontaminated gold mine sites in Bandung, West Java Province, Indonesia. The bacteria (designated strains SKCSH1- SKCSH10) were capable of growing well at ~200 ppm of HgCl except for strain SKCSH8, which was able to grow at 550 ppm HgCl . The bacteria were mesophylic and grew optimally at 1% NaCl at neutral pH with the optimal growth temperature of 25-37 ºC. Phenotypic characterization and phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the isolates were closely related to the family Xanthomonadaceae, Aeromonadaceae, and Pseudomonadaceae and they were identified as Pseudomonas spp., Stenotrophomonas sp., and Aeromonas sp. Eight bacterial strains were shown to belong to the Pseudomonas branch, one strain to the Stenotrophomonas branch and one strain to the Aeromonas branch of the ã-Proteobacteria. Phylogeny based on their 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that four of the isolates (SKCSH1, SKCSH4, SKCSH7, SKCSH9) could be classified as representatives of four novel species in the genus Pseudomonas that were allocated to P. moraviensis (96.96% similarity) and P. plecogossicida (94.53, 96.61, and 96.73% similarity). Four other isolates could be allocated to P. plecogossicida (97.57 and 98.66% similarity) and P. hibiscicola (99.97% similarity), one isolate to Stenotrophomonas africana (99.69% similarity), and one other isolate to Aeromonas hydrophila subsp. ranae (99.43% similarity). The findings of this study provide the first information of the phylogenetically-diverse Hg-resistant bacteria in the Hg-polluted sites of Indonesia that may be highly useful for developing in situ bioremediation or detoxification of Hg-contaminated sites in Indonesia.

Abstract

Identification of sequence polymorphism on the D-loop region of mtDNA has been done for various purposes, including health and medical treatment. In this research, single nucleotide polymorphisms were identified in the D-loop region of mtDNA of the Sundanese population in western Java. A total of 118 unrelated and healthy Sundanese probands were collected from closed-traditional kampung adat and open communities distributed in 14 cities and regencies in western Java. DNA amplification and direct sequencing of the D-loop region were proceeded using primers L15990 and H409. Multi-alignment was conducted not only intrapopulation but also with D-loop sequence data stored in GenBank for comparison. In this research, we categorized high-frequency SNPs as less effective for identification in population studies because of their presence in other populations outside Indonesia. Meanwhile, lower-frequency SNPs showed typical variants of Sundanese haplotypes. On the other hand, rare or low-frequency SNPs should be re-examined in larger size of samples to have a better understanding of risk factors for many diseases.

Abstract

An endoglucanase gene from glycoside hydrolase family 5, had been isolated from Bacillus sp. RP1 and cloned into Escherichia coli. The cloned gene comprised the promoter, coding sequence and terminator of the gene.  This gene encoded a protein with 499 amino acid residues (Mr=55.2 kDa) with a typical Bacillus signal peptide. The recombinant endoglucanase (EG) had optimum activity at pH 5.0 and 50 °C. The recombinant EG was expressed in the extracellular, intracellular, and periplasmic fractions with the highest total activity (60.15%) in the intracellular fraction, measured at three hours after isopropyl-β-Dthiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) induction. Three hours after the addition of 1% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), there was a two-fold increase in intracellular EG specific activity compared to the uninduced cells. Three hours after the addition of 1 mM IPTG, 1% glucose, 1% galactose or 1% cellobiose the intracellular EG specific activity decreased compared to the uninduced cells.
