Abstract

16S rRNA analysis has been used for decades to identify and identify phylogenetic relationships for microorganisms, for instance bacteria. 16S rRNA analysis can identify at the genus and species level. One of the most frequently identified microorganisms using 16S rRNA analysis is endophytic bacteria. Endophytic bacteria have a symbiotic relationship with plants and can synthesis the same compounds as their hosts. The existence of endophytic bacteria benefits their hosts because it can protect plants against insects or pathogens and can help plant growth by producing plant growth regulator compounds, such as IAA, GA3, and cytokinins. In addition, some endophytic bacteria such as Bacillus Burkholderia Enterobacter species, and Staphylococcus sp have antibacterial, antioxidant and anticancer activity. Hence endophytic bacteria need to be identified molecularly. Literature studies show that endophytic bacteria have been successfully isolated from various plants such as Bacillus cereus, Baicillus pumilus, Baicillus siamensis, Burkholderia Enterobacter, and Staphylococcus sp. These endophytic bacteria have antibacterial activity, especially on pathogenic bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella sp.

Abstract

This study aims to qualitatively analyze the presence of formalin and borax in chicken meat sold in several traditional markets in Makassar City. The method used is a qualitative test using specific reagents for detecting formalin and borax on five chicken meat samples randomly collected from five different markets. The results show that no borax was detected in any of the tested samples. However, four out of five chicken meat samples were found to contain formalin. These findings indicate that there are still vendors or producers using hazardous substances that are prohibited in food processing. This highlights the need for increased supervision by relevant authorities and public education on the dangers of consuming food products containing harmful chemicals. This study is expected to serve as a reference for policymaking to ensure food safety in Makassar City.

Abstract

Endophytic fungi are microorganisms that inhabit healthy plant tissues without causing disease symptoms and represent a promising source of bioactive secondary metabolites for drug discovery. This review evaluates current approaches to endophytic fungal isolation and their implications for microorganism-based drug development. A systematic literature search was conducted across Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for publications from 2014–2024. Of 6,583 identified articles, 257 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The review found that surface sterilization using 70% ethanol combined with 2–3% sodium hypochlorite is the most effective and widely adopted protocol. The use of diverse culture media (PDA, MEA, and CDA) enhances isolate diversity, while molecular identification based on ITS-rDNA, supported by LSU, β-tubulin, and TEF1-α markers, provides reliable taxonomic resolution. Furthermore, integrating culture-dependent methods with high-throughput metagenomic sequencing expands access to previously unculturable endophytic fungi. Optimized and standardized isolation protocols, together with omics technologies, are essential for maximizing the potential of endophytic fungi as a sustainable source of novel bioactive compounds and future therapeutic agents.

Abstract

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, while conventional therapies are often limited by drug resistance, toxicity, and poor selectivity toward cancer cells. Endophytic fungi represent a promising source of anticancer compounds due to their ability to produce a wide variety of bioactive secondary metabolites. However, much of their biosynthetic potential remains unexplored because many biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) are cryptic or remain silent under standard laboratory conditions. This review aims to evaluate the roles of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics in the discovery of anticancer compounds from endophytic fungi and to highlight the potential of multi-omics integration for accelerating natural product discovery. The review was conducted using a systematic literature review approach based on the PRISMA 2020 guidelines.. The findings demonstrate that genomics facilitates BGC identification, transcriptomics reveals gene expression dynamics, proteomics identifies key enzymes and molecular targets, metabolomics enables metabolite characterization, and epigenomics contributes to the activation of cryptic gene clusters. The integration of these omics platforms provides a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between genotype and metabolic phenotype, thereby enhancing the efficiency of discovering novel anticancer compounds. Nevertheless, challenges related to data integration, functional validation, and clinical translation remain significant. Therefore, multi-omics approaches combined with artificial intelligence and machine learning are expected to play a crucial role in advancing endophytic fungi as a valuable source of future anticancer drug candidates.

Abstract

Indigofera tinctoria (Linn.), commonly known as true indigo, is a medicinal plant traditionally used in various ethnomedical systems, including Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and African traditional medicine. Beyond its historical role as a natural dye source, the plant has attracted increasing scientific interest due to its diverse pharmacological properties and bioactive constituents. This review aimed to systematically evaluate the ethnopharmacological uses, phytochemical composition, and pharmacological activities of I. tinctoria, while highlighting its potential for evidence-based therapeutic applications. A narrative review with a systematic literature search approach was conducted using electronic databases, including Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. Relevant studies published between 2020 and 2026 were identified using keywords related to Indigofera tinctoria, ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, and pharmacological activity. Study selection followed PRISMA guidelines, and a total of 45 eligible studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. The findings demonstrated that I. tinctoria has been traditionally utilized for the treatment of inflammatory disorders, skin diseases, infections, liver dysfunction, fever, and metabolic abnormalities. Phytochemical analyses revealed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, phenolic compounds, indigo, and indirubin, which contribute to its biological activities. Experimental studies reported significant anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, antidiabetic, and immunomodulatory effects. Among the identified compounds, indirubin showed notable pharmacological potential due to its anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative properties. However, the current evidence remains predominantly based on in vitro and animal studies, while clinical validation in humans is still limited. In conclusion, Indigofera tinctoria possesses promising ethnopharmacological and therapeutic potential supported by growing scientific evidence. Nevertheless, further studies focusing on standardized phytochemical characterization, mechanistic investigations, toxicological assessments, and randomized clinical trials are necessary to facilitate its translation into evidence-based phytotherapeutic applications.
