Abstract

ABSTRACTSoil Actinomycetes Population, Enzymes Activity, and its Relation with Carbon and NitrogenContent, in Bukit Bangkirai, East Kalimantan. Bukit Bangkirai is one of the tropical forest inIndonesia have been exposed with intense forest fire. The affected forest is subjectivelydivided into three level of damages, heavily damage forest (HD), low damage forest (LD) andcontrol (K). The objective of this research was to observe the abundance of Actinomyceteswhich have important role in ecological process. Through decompotition of organic materialsand nutriens cycle. Actinomycetes were isolated and enumerated by SDS-YE method. CFU/ gsoil (x 104) in K, HD and LD are 41,86 ± 25,52, 16,09 ± 5,70 and 18,96 ± 4,19 respectively. Amylaseand cellulase were determined by DNS method. Carbon and Nitrogen total were determinatedby CN analyzer. The different of amylase, cellulase activities and abundace of Actinomycetesbetween HD, LD, and Control plot were not significant. However, carbon and nitrogen totalare different. LD plot has the highest carbon and nitrogen total, followed by control and HDplot. There has no significant different among plot observed may indicate microbial communitiesof soil in Bukit Bangkirai have been recovered.Key words : actinomycetes, fire forest, amylase, cellulase, nitrogen total, carbon total

Abstract

ABSTRACTThe objectives of study were to identify antimicrobial producing Actinomycetes using 16S rDNA analyses and morphology and physiology characteristics. Eight Actinomycetes strain with the higest antibacterial and antifungal activity were selected and identified using six primers (20F, 520F, 920F, 1500R, 920R, and 520R). Morphological observation and physiology analyses were performed to the selected strain to accurately identify the strains. Morphological characters observed were aerial mycelium, spore chain, colony form, and pigment production. Physiological characterizations were antimicrobial properties, growth temperature, pH tolerance, salinity concentration for growth, sugars assimilation, and some enzymes production (arginine dihydrolase, urease, ß-glucosidase, protease, ß-galactosidase). Based on homology search by BLAST program and phylogenetic tree analyses, all of isolates were identified as the genus Streptomyces. They belong to eight different spesies. Isolates RC-SS-37-4, RC-SS-37-16 and BL-22-3 have been identified as Streptomyces costaricanus (100 %), Streptomyces costaricanus (99.8 %) and Streptomyces parvulus (98.6 %), respectively. Five isolates were identified as Streptomyces spp. (BL-36-1, BL-20-2, BL-14-2, BL-22-1 and BL-06-5) and can be presumed as new species because of the low homology value to their closest related spesies. Keywords : actinomycetes, antimicrobial, morphology, phylogenetic, physiology, 16S rRNA gene.

Abstract

(+)-2,2’-Epicytoskyrin A, a bis-anthraquinone isolated from fungal endophyte Diaporthe sp. GNBP-10 associated with Uncaria gambir Roxb., was investigated for its antifungal activity. The broth microdilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against 22 yeast strains and three filamentous fungi. The MICs of (+)-2,2’-epicytoskyrin A ranged from 16 to 128 µg/mL, which exhibited lower activity than the antifungal nystatin. A study of the mechanism of action revealed similar effects of (+)-2,2’-epicytoskyrin A and nystatin on Candida tropicalis at their MICs (16 and 8 µg/mL, respectively) and 2 times of the MIC. Both compounds caused cytoplasmic material and ion leakages on fungal cell, which were characterized by an increase in absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm as well as Ca2+ and K+ ion concentrations. The morphology of the fungal cells after (+)-2,2’-epicytoskyrin A treatment was observed under a scanning electron microscope. The control cells, which were not treated with either (+)-2,2’-epicytoskyrin A or nystatin, showed a smooth surface, while the cells treated with either (+)-2,2’-epicytoskyrin A or nystatin shrank and displayed a donut-like shape. More shrinkage was observed in the 2 times MIC concentration and even more in the cells exposed to nystatin. The action of (+)-2,2’-epicytoskyrin A was proposed through membrane disruption.

Abstract

Penapisan Aktivitas Antimikroba dari Actinomycetes yang Diisolasi dari Raja Ampat, Papua Barat, Indonesia. Dalam rangka pencarian aktivitas antimikroba dari aktinomycetes di Papua, sebanyak seratus isolat Actinomycetes yang berasal dari tanah dan serasah dari beberapa ekosistem di Pulau Batanta dan Salawati, Papua Barat telah diuji. Sebanyak 200 ekstrak dari 100 isolat Actinomycetes telah diperoleh melalui dua tahap ekstraksi. Metabolit non polar diekstraksi menggunakan pelarut etil asetat : metanol (4:1), sedangkan metabolit polar diperoleh dari pemekatan medium menggunakan metode kering beku. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian menggunakan metode difusi agar, sebanyak 43 dari 200 ekstrak (21,5%) memiliki aktivitas antimikroba terhadap bakteri dan khamir (Escherichia coli NBRC 14237, Bacillus subtilis NBRC 3134, Staphylococcus aureus NBRC 13276, Micrococcus luteus NBRC 1367, Candida albicans NBRC 1594, dan Saccharomyces cerevisiae NBRC 10217). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan beberapa ekstrak Actinomycetes memiliki aktivitas anti bakteri gram negatif (1,5%), anti bakteri gram positif (17%), dan anti fungi (17%). Metabolit yang diekstraksi dengan pelarut etil asetat : metanol lebih aktif (35%) dibandingkan dengan pelarut air (17%). Sebanyak lima isolat yang memiliki aktivitas antimikroba tertinggi (BL-13-5, BL-06-5, BL-14-2, BL-22-3, dan Sl-36-1) diidentifikasi berdasarkan data sekuen gen 16S rRNA. Berdasarkan hasil pencarian homologi dengan program BLAST, diperoleh homologi spesies berturut-turut adalah Streptomyces kanamyceticus (92%), Streptomyces verne (92%), Streptomyces narbonensis (92%), Streptomyces malachitofuscus (98%), dan Streptomyces hygroscopicus (96%).

Abstract

Seven actinomycetes isolated from Waigeo’s soil rhizospere have been characterized in growth, cellulase activities and pH. These actinomycetes were chosen based on their capabilities in cellulose degradation which were recognized by previous study. Those isolates are belonging to Streptomyces and Actinoplanes genera based on morphological and molecular analyses. The growths of actinomycetes were investigated based on spectrophotometric approach and cellulase activities were conducted based on reduction sugar. Cellulase activities, cell growth, and pH had significant correlation based on statistical analysis.  The highest enzyme activities was acquired from  Streptomyces bobili LIPIMC-A-283 (0,519 µmol mL-1 minute-1) at 96 h of incubation. This study provided important basic information on potential cellulolitic alternative from actinomycetes group, as consideration on choosing low-cost technique using microbial agent in cellulose treatment.

Abstract

Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a significant contributor to global mortality, being responsible for one of the primary causes of death worldwide. The current problem is antibiotic resistance in the treatment of tuberculosis patients, which causes the decreasing effectiveness of drugs for tuberculosis therapy. Therefore, exploration for finding new drugs is still necessary. Actinomycetes represent a group of microbes known for producing bioactive compounds, particularly in the form of antibiotics. This microbe can be found associated with plants as endophytic actinomycetes may have the same or similar secondary metabolites as their host. In certain instances, metabolites generated by endophytic actinomycetes exhibit uniqueness and hold the potential to combat antibiotic-resistant pathogenic microbes effectively. This review focuses on new ideas for exploring the potential of endophytic actinomycetes from medicinal plants, especially in Indonesia, considering existing tuberculosis conditions using reviews from scientific sources such as scientific journals, case reports, official government websites, and tuberculosis drug development. This review was then compiled and created a new idea to explore endophytic actinomycetes from medicinal plants in Indonesia using validated methods and contemporary research.
