Abstract

Probiotics are a group of beneficial microorganisms that can improve the health of their host. Lactobacillus species are lactic acid bacteria that have great potential as probiotics, in which cow’s milk is a great source of lactic acid bacteria. In this study, Lactobacillus spp. were isolated from fresh local Indonesian cow’s milk. The methods used to characterize the Lactobacillus spp. were (i) biochemical tests including catalase, hemolytic and sugar fermentation tests; (ii) tolerance tests against salt (NaCl 2%, 4% and 6%), low pH (2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) and temperature (7°C, 37°C and 45°C); and (iii) 16S rRNA sequencing. The isolation yielded 14 isolates matching the criteria of Lactobacillus spp. colony and cell (i.e., Gram positive rods that did not produce endospores and did not have a waxy layer covering its cell wall). Based on subsequent biochemical tests, 5 isolates were suspected as potential probiotic Lactobacillus spp. The 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that the isolate L was Limosilactobacillus fermentum. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that local cow’s milk could be used to isolate Lactobacillus spp.

Abstract

Lactobacillus species are particularly noteworthy due to their ability to synthesize a variety of antimicrobial substances, including organic acids and bacteriocins. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum SU-KC1a, a member of the genus of Lactobacillus, had been previously isolated from human breast milk by our group. A preliminary in silico investigation had identified that Lpb. plantarum SU-KC1a possessed genes responsible for plantaricin, which is a type of bacteriocin produced by Lpb. plantarum strains. This study therefore aimed to assess the antibacterial activity of Lpb. plantarum SU-KC1a against pathogenic Listeria monocytogenes ATCC-7644 and to induce the biosynthesis of plantaricin by Lpb. plantarum SU-KC1a through co-culture with L. monocytogenes ATCC-7644 as the inducer strain. Our results showed that the cell-free supernatants from both co-culture and monoculture of Lpb. plantarum SU-KC1a exhibited a modest antibacterial activity against L. monocytogenes ATCC-7644. However, it was further determined that the inhibitory effect was not due to the production of plantaricin. Instead, it was primary attributed to the production of organic acids, which decreased the pH and inhibited the growth of L. monocytogenes ATCC-7644. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that Lpb. plantarum SU-KC1a could exert a modest antibacterial activity towards L. monocytogenes ATCC-7644, but not through the induction of plantaricin.

Abstract

The negative impact of fungal contamination in food products is profound. The contamination could be caused by fungi that threatens human health as well. Effective and safe antifungal compounds therefore are crucial to control this issue. It had been reported that certain strains of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens exerted an antifungal activity. As a strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (called strain N1) had been isolated by our laboratory from a chicken gizzard, we investigated whether this strain had an antifungal activity as well. Two species of fungi, i.e., Aspergillus welwitschiae and Penicillium sp., were utilized as the target in the whole-cell co-culture method. The result showed that Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain N1 significantly inhibited the growth of Aspergillus welwitschiae and Penicillium sp. (percentages of inhibition were 73.3% and 100%, respectively). Next, with the availability of whole genome data of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain N1, the bioinformatic analyses with RAST and nucleotide BLAST database suggested that Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain N1 could secrete antifungal compounds of bacillomycin D, surfactin and fengycin. In conclusion, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain N1 has a potential to be further utilized due to the presence of its antifungal activity. BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK:Dewasa ini, permasalahan kontaminasi pada produk makanan banyak ditemukan.

Abstract

Antioxidants are substances that mitigate the impacts of free radicals on the body, in which they can be extracted from plants. One common Indonesian plant that has a potential to be used as a source of antioxidants is the ambarella plant (Spondias dulcis). The aim of this research is to measure the antioxidant activity of ambarella leaf’s extract via response surface methodology to determine the optimum conditions required to facilitate maximum extraction. Ambarella leaves were dried and soaked in methanol by using various combinations of time, methanol concentration and solid:solvent ratio (SSR). Antioxidant activity was measured using the DPPH test. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was utilized to determine the optimum conditions. The obtained optimum conditions were 26.5 hours, 82.2% methanol and a solid:solvent ratio of 1:14.6.

Abstract

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), including Lactiplantibacillus species, are important within the food industry, as antimicrobial-exhibiting LAB are utilized as a bioprotective culture to increase food quality and safety. However, antimicrobial substances and other beneficial properties should be considered strain-specific, hence further characterization at the strain level is needed. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum SU-KC1a and F75 have been isolated by the Biology Study Program, Universitas Pelita Harapan. In this study, the antimicrobial activity of L. plantarum SU-KC1a and F75 against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was evaluated. The results showed that supernatants of L. plantarum SU-KC1a and F75 could inhibit the growth of E. coli and S. aureus. Subsequent experiments suggested that the antimicrobial activity of both strains of L. plantarum were likely due to the production of organic acids that eventually decreased the pH.Bahasa Indonesia Abstract:Bakteri asam laktat (BAL), termasuk Lactiplantibacillus species, memiliki peran yang penting dalam industri makanan, karena BAL yang menunjukkan aktivitas antimikroba dipergunakan sebagai kultur bioprotektif untuk meningkatkan kualitas dan keamanan pangan. Namun, senyawa antimikroba dan juga sifat menguntungkan lainnya seharusnya dianggap lebih spesifik terhadap masing-masing strain, sehingga karakterisasi lebih lanjut pada tingkat strain perlu dilakukan. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum SU-KC1a dan F75 telah diisolasi oleh Program Studi Biologi Universitas Pelita Harapan. Pada penelitian ini, aktivitas dilakukan evaluasi antimikroba dari L. plantarum SU-KC1a dan F75 terhadap Escherichia coli dan Staphylococcus aureus. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa supernatan dari L. plantarum SU-KC1a dan F75 memiliki aktivitas antimikroba terhadap E. coli dan S. aureus. Hasil uji lebih lanjut mengindikasikan bahwa aktivitas antimikroba dari kedua strain L. plantarum lebih dikarenakan oleh produksi asam organik yang menurunkan pH.
