Abstract

In recent years, the development of probiotic-based fermented products with halal status has been a concern. The use of growth medium has relied on de Man Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) as a relatively expensive standard medium, and its halal status is still uncertain. Extensive research has been carried out to investigate the development of low-cost halal alternative media for the cultivation of probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB). This study aimed to develop a probiotic halal and low-cost culture medium using a tofu whey-based medium. This study used three tofu whey-based media – A (tofu whey 100%), B (tofu whey 94.5%, molasses 3%, skim milk 2.5%), C (tofu whey 92.5%, molasses 3%, cheese whey 2.5%, tomato extract 2%), and MRS broth as a standard medium. Bacterial populations, total sugars utilized, total lactic acids produced, low pH (2.0) tolerance, and high bile salt concentration (oxgall 1.5%) were assayed. The highest bacterial population after 48 h of incubation was shown by medium B compared to medium MRS (12.34 ± 0.87 and 11.48 ± 0.3 log CFU/mL). Total sugars utilized by 48.28 ± 2.89, 38.89 ± 6.94, 39.14 ± 4.24, and 76.00 ± 1.41 %; on the other hand, total lactic acids produced by 0.16 ± 0.12, 0.03 ± 0.04, 0.31 ± 0.03, and 2.25 ± 1.48 % in A, B, C, and MRS, respectively. Probiotic tolerance at low pH and the presence of bile salts of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum D4 consistently showed a high survival rate in medium B compared to MRS. Based on these results, the components and proportions used in medium B were suitable for the growth of L. plantarum D4 as a halal probiotic starter candidate.

Abstract

Microplastic degradation by bacteria can degrade low-density polyethylene (LDPE). This study aimed to analyze the potential of Ambon Bay bacteria for microplastic degradation, the condition of microplastics after degradation, and identification of the potential for microplastic degradation. The results of isolation revealed as many as 20 bacterial isolates, which correlated with physicochemical conditions in the waters of Ambon Bay. Nine of them could degrade microplastics as indicated by the presence of a clear zone, namely KA1, KA2, KA3, KA4, KA5, KA9, KA10, KS6, and KS8. They were checked for biofilm formation, microplastic hydrophobicity, and percentage of microplastic weight reduction. Four isolates with the highest percentage of microplastic weight reduction on day 40 were KA1, KA2, KA3, and KA10 at 36.19%, 10.16%, 28.39%, and 17.07%, respectively. The results of LDPE microplastic degradation showed differences using field emission scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (FESEM/EDS), attenuated total reflection-fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The bacterial isolates identified were KA1 (Bacillus cereus), KA2 (Bacillus toyonesis), KA3 (Bacillus paramycoides), and KA10 (Escherichia coli). Indigenous bacteria from the waters of Ambon Bay have the potential to degrade LDPE microplastics, which causes structural changes, decreased crystallinity, weight, and C=C groups in microplastics after degradation, with bacterial isolate KA1 identified as Bacillus cereus showing the best potential with degradation of LDPE microplastics by 36.19%.

Abstract

The present study evaluates the antibacterial efficacy of ethanolic extracts from Delonix regia leaves against diarrhea-inducing bacteria Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. Preliminary phytochemical screening revealed that D. regia leaves comprise flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, phenolics, and terpenoids. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis identified various functional groups in the D. regia leaf extract, including O-H, C-H, C=O, C=C, C-C, C-O, and C-O-C. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis further confirmed the presence of 16 distinct compounds comprising amino acids, alkaloids, phenolics, flavonoids, terpenoids, anthraquinones, n-acyl pyrrolidines, and fatty acids. The disc diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer) was employed for the antibacterial tests. The extracts of D. regia leaves at concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% generated inhibition zones measuring 5.26 mm, 6.37 mm, 7.27 mm, and 10.18 mm against E. coli, and 5.05 mm, 7.01 mm, 8.77 mm, and 10.04 mm against S. typhimurium, respectively. The commercial antibiotic ciprofloxacin (a positive control) produced inhibition zones of 30.02 mm for E. coli and 28 mm for S. typhimurium. The negative control, consisting of 10% ethanol, showed no inhibitory effect on bacterial growth. These findings indicate that the ethanolic extract of D. regia leaves possesses antibacterial properties against E. coli and S. typhimurium. It is likely that secondary metabolite compounds, such as flavonoids and phenolics, contribute significantly to the observed antibacterial activity

Abstract

Modification of montmorillonite with chitosan as an adsorbent of mercury (Hg) metal has been carried out. This study aims to determine the characteristics of the adsorbent, the optimum adsorption capacity of Hg metal, and its adsorption isotherm equation. The optimum conditions for Hg metal adsorption are determined by varying the contact time and pH of the solution. Variations in adsorbate concentration are carried out to determine the adsorption isotherm. Characterization of the adsorbent using FTIR shows the presence of -OH, Si-O, Al-O, C-C, and N-H groups. The optimum conditions for mercury metal adsorption by montmorillonite modified with chitosan occur at a contact time of 80 minutes, and a pH of 4. The adsorption process of mercury metal ions using montmorillonite adsorbent modified with chitosan satisfies both isotherm models, namely the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms with R2 values of 0.971 and 0.967 respectively, and a maximum adsorption capacity of 13.513 mg/g. The regeneration test showed that the adsorbent can be reused for the absorption of mercury metal ions.

Abstract

The implementation of Merdeka Curriculum in high school requires Biology teachers to face new challenges in teaching, especially the topic of microbial evolution. Microbes play an important role as a model in understanding the evolutionary process, including through CRISPR technology (genome editing). In addition, the mechanism of antibiotic resistance is also a clear example of evolution through genetic changes. However, limited access to information and facilities is an obstacle for teachers in developing appropriate learning modules. This service activity aims to improve the insight and competence of Biology teachers related to microbial evolution, through the introduction of CRISPR technology and antibiotic resistance, both in theory and practice. The training began with a pre-training survey on antibiotic use, material delivery and continued with antibiotic sensitivity test practice. Evaluation in the form of pretest and posttest was also given to participants who were categorized on a scale of understanding: very low, low, medium, high, and very high. The training participants had sufficient experience in the use of antibiotics before the training, but their understanding of antibiotics still varied. The pretest results obtained an understanding of 8.3% very low, 20.8% low, 33.3% medium, 33.3% high, and 4.2% very high. The posttest results showed a significant difference, with only two categories, 38.1% high and 61.9% very high. This result shows that the participants' understanding has increased by 28.4% with an average pretest score of 62 and posttest score of 87. In addition, participants were also able to conduct antibiotic sensitivity tests and how to interpret the data. The participants' response was very positive, with a satisfaction index score between 94-97 which is classified as very good. The theory and practice obtained are expected to increase teacher innovation in learning for students to understand microbial evolution.

Abstract

Exploration of nitrogen-fixing bacteria as a sustainable alternative to conventional fertilizers is important in agriculture. The study aims to isolate and characterize the potential nitrogen-fixing bacteria (NFB) from soils of several sugarcane fields in East Java. Specifically, the bacteria were isolated from sugarcane fields in Blitar, Ngawi, and Glugur Malang. Soil samples were collected, and NFB were isolated using an Nfb medium. Next, the ability of these isolates to fix nitrogen in a liquid medium was evaluated by measuring the ammonium released after different incubation periods (24, 72, and 120 hours). The study obtained five potential isolates that grew well on the agar medium and changed the medium’s pH. Significant growth and pH increase at the liquid medium were observed across the isolates over time. This rise in pH was not always attributed to the ammonia production by those NFB. Only two isolates released ammonia at detectable concentrations as much as 1.13 mg.L-1 and 1.40 mg.L-1, respectively. Hence, isolates C and D were selected as potential NFB for application in replacing synthetic nitrogen fertilizer. Keywords: biofertilizer, environmental sustainability, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, rhizosphere.

Abstract

Taro is one of the food crops that has the potential to maintain food security. It has a high carbohydrate content and nutrients with a low glycemic index value. Taro is widely cultivated with intercropping techniques, especially in Kedungkandang District, Malang City. However, this technique caused a decrease in talas tubers production with only 7-10 tons ha-1. This number was lower than the total optimal production with 20.7 tons ha-1 of taro tubers. Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR), one of the most potential biofertilizers, can solve this problem with abilities such as phosphate-solubilizing, production of IAA, and nitrogen fixation. This research aimed to analyze the potency and identify the species of taro rhizosphere bacteria that had the best ability as PGPR agents. Taro rhizosphere bacteria were isolated using Pikovskaya medium and TSA (Tryptic Soy Agar) respectively. The PGPR abilities were evaluated on the phosphate-solubilizing, production of IAA, and nitrogen fixation. A total of 12 isolates for phosphate-solubilizing bacteria and ten isolates of IAA-producing bacteria. The highest concentration of phosphate solubilization was P1 isolate, with the concentration of 6.8 μg.mL-1; while I4 isolate had the highest potency for IAA production with the concentration of 23.11 μg.mL-1. Isolates P1 and I4 were selected for the nitrogen fixation ability test. P1 isolate shows the highest ammonia concentration of 2.52 μg.mL-1, and it was identified as Stenotrophomonas rhizophila with a similarity of 99.91% with Stenotrophomonas rhizophila R2A2 67. The potential isolates can be used as PGPR agents or biofertilizers to increase the production of taro plants.      Keywords: Colocasia esculenta, IAA, Nitrogen, PGPR, Phosphate.

Abstract

Ringinkembar Village, Sumbermanjing Wetan District, Malang Regency, is one of the centers for cocoa plantations using an organic farming system. However, over time this organic farming system experienced a decrease in fruit production, possibly from soil fertility and biofertilizers that were less available in the soil. This study aims to analyze the nitrogen-fixing ability and identify rhizosphere isolates that excel in nitrogen-fixing obtained from the rhizosphere of cacao (Theobroma cacao L) plant. Bacteria were isolated from the soil surrounding cocoa plant roots and grown on Nfb (Nitrogen free Bromothymol Blue) agar media. The nitrogen-fixing bacteria were analyzed with quantitative and qualitative methods. Six potential nitrogen-fixing isolates were identified based on the 16S rDNA sequence. The total number of isolates obtained from nitrogen-fixing isolation was six isolates. The R3.FN1 isolate showed the highest ammonia index at 0.52 µg.L-1 and was identified as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia KB13 with 99.87% similarity to the 16S rDNA sequence. Keywords: Cocoa, Nitrogen-fixing, Rhizosphere, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
