Abstract

β-glucan is a homopolysaccharide with biological activities that are beneficial to health as an immunostimulant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-cholesterol, and many more. β-glucan extraction results from yeast require characterization related to this bioactive quality, such as β-glucan weight, monomer analysis, functional groups, and cytotoxicity assay. Four Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolates were isolated from three local ragi samples, namely the SC-1, SC-2, SC-3, and SAF from instant ragi. This study aimed to obtain the best candidate of S. cerevisiae isolates to produce high β-glucan levels and low protein levels and to test the potential for cytotoxicity. The four isolates were rejuvenated on potato dextrose agar (PDA), then inoculated into the liquid glucose yeast peptone (GYP) fermentation medium for six days. Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells were extracted by neutralizing acid-base, dried and weighed as a crude β-glucan (mg per 300 mL). The highest yield was SC-2 (818 mg), followed by SC-3 (726 mg), SAF (597 mg), and SC-1 (433 mg). The presence of –OH (alcohol), -C-C-C- (alkane), and –R-O-R- (ether) groups were showed using FTIR characterization. Glucose equivalent β-glucan levels and protein levels were determined using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed that β-glucan SC-1 gave the best results with glucose equivalent β-glucan levels of 4,865% and protein levels of 3,804%. The crude β-glucan toxicity test using the brine shrimp lethality test (BSLT) method shows that the β-glucan of the SAF strain has LC50 cytotoxicity of 114.8 ppm followed by β-glucan cytotoxicity from local ragi LC50 was SC-2 (323.5 ppm), SC-1 (331.1 ppm), and SC-3 (354.8 ppm). Therefore, based on the results, SC-1 isolate obtained the highest β-glucan crude and the lowest protein content was SC-2. The β-glucan of SAF extract had the highest toxicity properties based on the IC50 value.

Abstract

Banana rhizosphere harbors a unique diversity of microbes including fungi that play critical roles in the growth of the plant host as well as might be important for biologically controlling the fungal soil-borne pathogens particularly Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (Foc), the causing agent of devastating Panama wilt. Among other fungi, we have succeeded to isolate a Trichoderma species from rhizosphere of healthy banana. Molecular identification revealed the isolate as Trichoderma virens InaCC F1030 (being collection of Indonesian Culture Collection or InaCC). Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the biological control of our isolate against Foc as well as plant growth promoting ability through its ability to produce auxin (indole-3-acetic acid/IAA). Two approaches were employed to evaluate the antagonism of our isolate against Foc, through direct confrontation test and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) producing. We found that our isolate was considered as antagonistic to the Foc, but not highly antagonistic according to direct confrontation assay. However, it was also revealed that our isolate produces the VOCs that inhibited around 50% of the mycelial growth of the test pathogen after six to seven days of exposure. Our isolate was able to produce the IAA in axenic submerged fermentation condition particularly in the presence of the precursor L-tryptophan. IAA production ability as well as the mycelial biomass of fungus were increased approximately 17% and 120% respectively as the effect of supplementation of 0.1% of L-tryptophan. These in vitro bioassays lead us to conclude that somehow our isolate T. virens InaCC F1030 has potency to be utilized as biocontrol and biofertilizer agent.
