Abstract

Ganoderma lucidum and Rigidoporus microporus are two examples of macro fungi that are commonly found in forest areas in the highlands of Indonesia, and are even found in lowlands such as in urban forests in DKI Jakarta. Many of these macro fungi have been reported as potential medicinal substances, especially from the species G. lucidum, whose fruit bodies are usually obtained from forests in upland areas. The purpose of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of the fungi G. lucidum and R. microporus obtained from several places in South Jakarta against the growth of E. coli and S. aureus bacteria. Testing for antibacterial activity was carried out using the Kirby-Bauer diffusion method. The results showed that the extract of G. lucidum fruit bodies was only able to inhibit the growth of S. aureus bacteria. While the fruit body extract of R. microporus was able to inhibit both types of tested bacteria (E. coli and S. aureus). The results showed that G. lucidum extract was only able to inhibit S. aureus bacteria. Meanwhile R. microporus extract was able to inhibit E.coli and S.aureus. There was no significant effect of increasing the concentration of mushroom fruit extract on the inhibition zone of the tested bacteria.

Abstract

Indonesia is a newly developing country, with many problems, one of which is health problems related to medicinal ingredients (antibiotics). Many microorganisms, especially bacteria, are resistant to various types of antibiotics. Various efforts have been made by the government to find new antibiotics, to reduce the use of semisynthetic or synthetic antibiotics which are very dangerous. One of them uses macrofungi.The antibacterial activity of eight species of macrofungi (Ganoderma applanatum, G. boninense, Ganoderma sp1, Ganoderma sp2, Trametes sp1, Trametes sp2, Trametes sp3, Microporus xanthopus and Suillus sp1) against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus has been carried out, using the diffusion method. The results showed that six species were able to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. The species were Ganoderma applanatum, Ganoderma sp1, Trametes sp.1, Trametes sp.2, Trametes sp.3, and Suillus sp. The resulting limiting zone ranged from 6.5-11 mm. The zone of inhibition produced by Trametes, the smallest inhibition zone of Ganoderma sp1. The higher the concentration of the extract, the greater the ability to inhibit the growth of the test bacteria.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of science and technology has brought numerous benefits to human life; however, it is unfortunate that this progress has not extensively tapped into one of Indonesia's abundant biological resources, which is fungi, especially marine fungi. This research was conducted to explore the antimicrobial potential of marine fungi isolated from the Thousand Islands against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli using the dilution method. The study aimed to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of the obtained isolates against the two test bacteria. The research comprised two phases: the collection of samples in the field, followed by the antimicrobial activity assay using the dilution method in the laboratory. The findings are expected to reveal several types of marine fungi from the Thousand Islands with antimicrobial capabilities that could be developed as alternative antibiotics to replace those that have lost their potency. The results of the study showed that out of the 10 tested marine fungi isolates, all of them exhibited inhibition against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The concentrations of 100% and 75% proved to be the most effective in inhibiting bacterial growth. The MIC of the tested marine fungi extracts was determined to be 25%. Moreover, five isolates of marine fungi demonstrated MBC against S. aureus and E. coli: S.KL5 isolate at concentrations of 75% and 50%, S.AL and S.KL1 isolates at concentrations of 100% and 50%, and S.MA2 and S.KL1 isolates at concentrations of 100% and 75%. The identified best isolates were found to belong to the species Penicillium sp. and Aspergillus niger .

Abstract

Moringa oleifera has long been valued in traditional skincare, but its molecular interactions with key aging regulators remain poorly understood. This study elucidates the anti-aging potential of Moringa oleifera bioactive compounds through their modulation of sirtuin proteins (SIRT2, SIRT5, SIRT6), which govern genomic stability and oxidative stress responses. Using computational approaches, we performed molecular docking simulations (AutoDock Vina) on 20 bioactive compounds against sirtuin crystal structures from the Protein Data Bank. Comparative analysis with commercial anti-aging agents (niacinamide, AHA, ceramide) identified three Moringa compounds with superior binding affinities: rutin (-10.7 kcal/mol), quercetin (-8.9 kcal/mol), and chlorogenic acid (-7.9 kcal/mol), all outperforming niacinamide (-6.1 kcal/mol). SwissADME profiling confirmed their drug-like properties, including high oral bioavailability, blood-brain barrier penetration, and minimal toxicity risks. Mechanistically, these compounds demonstrated dual antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities, suggesting synergistic protection against oxidative damage and inflammation-driven aging. Our results position Moringa oleifera as a rich source of multitarget anti-aging candidates, combining computational validation with biological relevance to advance natural product-based interventions against cellular senescence.
