Abstract

The distinctive flavor and aroma possessed by Arabica coffee are an attraction for coffee enthusiasts. Post-harvest processing of coffee such as coffee fruit fermentation also contributes to the formation of the flavor and aroma of Arabica coffee. In this study, spontaneous fermentation was conducted by adding distilled water, with treatments on fermentation days 4 and 7 aimed at detecting acid-forming bacteria that played a role in the fermentation process. The bacterial isolates were characterized through macroscopic and microscopic observations, physiological, and biochemical tests. Identification of bacterial isolates was performed using the profile matching method based on Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology (Holt et al., 1994) and Axellson (2004) until the genus level. The identified bacterial genera were Asaia, Gluconobacter, Neoasaia, Saccharibacter, and Lactobacillus.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine whether fishmeal-based media could be used to grow L. sphaericus and induce its toxicity against Aedes aegypti larvae. Three concentrations (10, 20 and 30%) of fishmeal-based media were used to grow L. sphaericus isolate Bs2-1-2. Cell growth and endospore production were observed every 12 hours for 72 hours. The lethal concentration was measured every 24 hours for 72 hours of fermentation. The highest cell concentration was found in L. sphaericus grown on the media with 30% fishmeal concentration (3.03x1008 cells/mL), followed by 20% concentration (2.43x1008 cells/mL) and the lowest at 10% concentration (2.20x1008 cells/mL). At the end of fermentation, the highest concentration was found in L. sphaericus grown on 30% fishmeal-based media (1.51x1008 cells/mL), followed by 20% media (6.95x1007 cells/mL) and 10% media (3.21x1007 cells/mL). After 72-hour incubation, the highest endospore concentration was achieved by L. sphaericus grown on 20% (2.51x1008 cells/mL) and 10% (2.19x1008 cells/mL) fishmeal-based media. Initial larval toxicity of L. sphaericus showed the highest mortality on 20 and 30% fishmeal-based media (both reaching 53.33%), while 10% fishmeal-based media gave only 26.67% larval mortality. The LC50 value at 72 hours was achieved by L. sphaericus cultured on 30% fishmeal-based media (2.47 x 1008 cells/mL), followed by 20% concentration (4.82 x 1008 cells/mL) and 10% concentration (9.01 x 1009 cells/mL). The conclusion of this study was all concentrations of fishmeal-based media could support cell growth, endospore production and larval toxicity induction of L. sphaericus.

Abstract

One way to biologically control mosquitoes is by utilizing bacteria. Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus sphaericus are commonly used bacteria for this purpose. However, Bacillus subtilis has recently attracted the attention of researchers, as it is reported to have potential for use as a biopesticide. In this study, B. subtilis was isolated from several habitats in Mataram and West Lombok and tested on Aedes aegypti larvae to determine its potential toxicity. B. subtilis was isolated from the soil using a heating technique to separate it from other bacteria that do not have endospores and then grown at 33oC for 24 hours. The bacteria that grew were then tested on third-instar Ae. aegypti larvae. From several sampled locations, eight B. subtilis isolates with low toxicity levels were obtained. Toxic B. subtilis isolates were obtained from garden soil (isolate LT2C, 20%) and rhizosphere soil (isolate LB1A, 30%). The toxicity obtained is lower than the toxicity of B. thuringiensis and B. sphaericus, therefore further exploration is needed to be able to utilize B. subtilis as a biopesticide agent.

Abstract

This study aimed to enumerate, detect, and identify potentially pathogenic bacteria contaminating fresh marine fish sold at Kebon Roek Market, Mataram City. This preliminary laboratory-based descriptive survey focused on the fish species most frequently purchased by consumers: eastern little tuna (Euthynnus sp.), sardinella (Sardinella sp.), and Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger sp.). Fish samples were collected from nine purposively selected vendors located in different sections of the market, comprising three vendors each from the front, middle, and rear areas. Laboratory analyses included determination of the Total Plate Count (TPC), bacterial isolation using selective media, and bacterial identification based on cellular morphology, Gram-staining reactions, and biochemical characteristics. The bacterial loads were 3.36 × 10⁶ CFU/g in eastern little tuna, 1.76 × 10⁶ CFU/g in Indian mackerel, and 4.85 × 10⁵ CFU/g in sardinella. The bacterial counts detected in eastern little tuna and Indian mackerel exceeded the maximum limits specified in the Indonesian National Standard SNI 7388:2009. Bacterial identification revealed the presence of potentially pathogenic bacteria, including Enterobacter spp., Citrobacter spp., Escherichia coli, Edwardsiella spp., Vibrio spp., and Aeromonas spp. These findings indicate that fresh marine fish sold at Kebon Roek Market may serve as a vehicle for transmitting pathogenic bacteria to consumers. Therefore, improved hygiene and sanitation practices are required throughout the fish distribution and retail chain to ensure food safety.
