Abstract

Globally, tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading cause of death. The emergence of multidrug-resistant strains (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant strains (XDR-TB) has fuelled the discovery for novel drugs and drug targets for its successful and better treatment. One of the potential candidates for drug target is PhoR sensory protein histidine kinase, a part of the Two Component System (TCS) PhoP/PhoR in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). This protein system was known for its role on regulating hundred of Mtb virulence factors, from genes for cell wall and lypid synthesis to genes for adaptation in human leukocyte and hypoxia response. Previous studies have successfully characterized, isolated, and cloned the putative sensory domain of PhoR protein gene into pRSET vector expression system. In this study, Escherichia coli was transformed with pRSET-SensPhoR and cultivated at 37oC under IPTG induction to express PhoR sensor-domain protein. Most of the proteins were overexpressed in the form of inclusion bodies.  Subsequent protein purification in Ni-NTA system under refolding condition on urea gradient was performed to isolate PhoR sensor-domain protein in soluble form. Arginine was supplemented in purified protein solution to prevent aggregation during long term storage.  While highly purified protein was acquired, small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis was conducted to obtain 3-dimensional (3D) protein structures in solution.    doi:10.5454/mi.9.2.1

Abstract

Aeromonas hydrophila bacteria can cause Motile Aeromonas Septicemia (MAS), a disease that impacts freshwater fish. The turmeric rhizome contains numerous bioactive compounds that act as antibacterials and might be utilized to inhibit A. hydrophila. This research aimed to identify the phytochemicals in turmeric (Curcuma domestica) infusion, evaluate its antibacterial activity against A. hydrophila, and define the toxicity effect of turmeric rhizome infusion. The agar dilution method was used to measure antibacterial activity, whereas the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) was used to assess toxicity. The research confirmed the presence of phytochemicals such as tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, and saponins in a turmeric rhizome infusion. According to the findings, the infusion from turmeric rhizome effectively inhibited the growth of A. hydrophila at concentrations between 750-1000 ppm. In toxicity tests, the LC50 value of the turmeric rhizome infusion against shrimp larvae was 381.18 ppm. Hence, the turmeric rhizome infusion has the potential to be further developed for the prevention and treatment of fish infected with A. hydrophila in freshwater fish farming.

Abstract

Textbooks play a pivotal role in the pedagogical landscape, serving as indispensable aids for learning, founts of knowledge, and platforms for practical application. This study endeavors to scrutinize the content of textbooks, specifically focusing on ninth-grade biology textbooks within the educational milieu of Yogyakarta City, and to juxtapose these contents with existing literature to discern potential misconceptions. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the investigation centers on printed biology textbooks utilized in ninth-grade curricula across junior high schools in Yogyakarta. The selection of textbooks for analysis was based on their prevalence as instructional materials, as determined through survey data. Genetic engineering emerged as the focal point for identifying misconceptions within the chosen textbooks. The tool employed for this purpose was a meticulously crafted misconception analysis sheet, utilized alongside textual scrutiny. Analysis revealed the presence of misconceptions within both Textbooks A and B. Textbook A exhibited one instance of misidentification and one of oversimplification, while Textbook B featured two instances of oversimplification. The prevalence of misconception categories in Textbook A was calculated at 5.88% for misidentification and an equal percentage for oversimplification. In Textbook B, the percentage rose to 15.38%, exclusively attributed to oversimplification. Despite the relatively low incidence of misconceptions in both textbooks, these findings underscore the imperative of mitigating such inaccuracies in future editions.DOI: 10.17977/jps.v12i22024p063

Abstract

Preventing the action of pancreatic lipase is believed to be an effective method for treating obesity. Pancreatic lipase inhibitor act by suppressing the activity of pancreatic lipase, leading to a decrease in lipid absorption. Kombucha is a traditional fermented drink believed to have numerous health benefits, including as anti-obese. It can be produced using a range of substrates, such as butterfly pea flowers. The aim of this research was to investigate the inhibiting activity of kombucha made from butterfly pea flowers towards pancreatic lipase. The fermentation parameters monitored in this study included changes in cell density (OD600), the dry weight of the kombucha mushroom, pH, reducing sugar content, and the % titratable acid. The total phenol and total flavonoid content were also analyzed before and after fermentation. The inhibitory effect on pancreatic lipase of butterfly pea flower kombucha was presented as an IC50 value. The findings indicated that as fermentation progressed, the pH level and amount of reducing sugar decreased while the % titratable acid, cell density (OD600), and dry weight of the kombucha mushroom increased. The phenol and flavonoid content of butterfly pea kombucha was found to be greater compared to that of butterfly pea infusion, with respective levels of 0.040 mg GAE/g and 0.017 mg QE/g. This study confirms that butterfly pea flower kombucha has the ability to inhibit pancreatic lipase in vitro with an IC50 value of 162.83 μg/mL. Compared to butterfly pea flower tea infusion, butterfly pea flower kombucha has been found to be more effective in inhibiting pancreatic lipase. Thus, butterfly pea flower kombucha might be a promising candidate for being developed as an agent for combating obesity.

Abstract

The banana commodity is one of the prioritized commodities in Gunung Kidul Regency. The Young Farmers' Studio and Youth Organization “Solid Berkarya” in Serut Village are trying to develop banana plants by managing critical land into productive land using smart-farming irrigation systems. The concept of smart farming includes using technology such as sensors, connected devices (IoT), data analytics, artificial intelligence, and agricultural management software to create an efficient farming system. The irrigation system needs to apply optimization of timing and intensity tailored to the needs of the plants. The geographical terraced land conditions require unique methods to maximize agricultural yields. In banana cultivation, geographical conditions, climate, soil conditions, and water availability are crucial, so the community's knowledge and skills in irrigation on critical land must be improved. Therefore, banana irrigation training is conducted in this community service, especially related to water availability optimization. In this training, the participant's level of knowledge is measured by conducting pre-tests and post-tests related to irrigation optimization materials. From the test results, it can be seen that there is an increase in community knowledge from 6.44 before training to 9.0 after training. Thus, there is an increase in knowledge by 53.4%. The level of community satisfaction with the implementation of this service activity is 96.43%. keywords: Serut Village, Optimization, Smart-farming, Irrigation

Abstract

Lemea, a traditional fermented food of the Rejang people in Bengkulu, is made from young bamboo and fish. The fish commonly used in the making Lemea is Mozambique tilapia or Mujair (Oreochromis mossambicus). The fermentation process typically lasts between 3 to 7 days. This study aimed to assess the sensory characteristics, including taste, color, texture, and aroma, of Lemea, based on the preferences of panelists. The variations examined were fermentation duration, and the amount of Mujair fish added. The research followed a completely randomized design, incorporating three fermentation durations (24, 96, and 144 hours) and three fish quantities (250 grams, 500 grams, and 750 grams). Sensory evaluations were conducted on the fermented samples, encompassing taste, aroma, texture, and color. The data revealed that the most favored taste and texture of Lemea were achieved with 500 grams of fish and a fermentation duration of 144 hours (J2W3). Likewise, the preferred aroma and color were observed in the sample with 750 grams of fish and 24 hours of fermentation (J3W1). The data analysis indicated that the sample with 500 grams of fish and a fermentation duration of 144 hours (J2W3) exhibited the most favorable sensory characteristics (taste, aroma, texture, and color). Thus, the quantity of fish added and the duration of fermentation influenced the sensory attributes of Lemea.

Abstract

Indonesia's warm and humid tropical climate provides an ideal setting for the flourishing of fungi. Fungi are pivotal in the intricate balance of nutrient cycles and soil fertility within forest ecosystems. They can be broadly categorized into two types: microscopic fungi, which are minuscule and require observation under a microscope, and macroscopic fungi, which can be identified based on visible morphological features without additional tools. Forests, with their limited sunlight and high humidity due to the dense canopy of trees, serve as fertile grounds for a myriad of fungal species. This research aims to analyze fungal diversity using the exploratory survey method, involving direct search and observation of macrofungi. The sampling was conducted in May 2023 within the Wisdom Park UGM area, covering an area of 3,762.12 m² with coordinates 7° 46'09"S 110°22'59"E. The findings revealed a commendable diversity in terms of shape and size. However, the color palette of fungi in the area exhibited limited variation, primarily consisting of subdued white and brown hues. Some identified fungal species include Ganoderma sp., Mycena sp., Trametes sp., Lepiota cristata, and Panaeolus fimicola. These fungi predominantly thrived on substrates such as trees, soil, leaf litter, and decaying wood.
