Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus becomes a normal flora in humans, especially on the skin and in the nose. However, if it becomes excessive or if there are pathogenic variants, it can cause various health problems. The purpose of the study is to develop a molecular-based detection method for Staphylococcus aureus using the norA primer gene. The norA gene in Staphylococcus aureus is known to play a role in pathogenesis with its antibiotic resistance ability. This type of research is analytical observational with a cross-sectional method. The methods in the study include the isolation and identification of Staphylococcus aureus from healthcare facility equipment. Isolation and identification include bacterial isolation using Blood Agar Plate (BAP) media; isolate purification, Gram staining; biochemical tests using Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) media, glucose tests, Voges Proskauer (VP) tests, catalase tests, and coagulase tests. Furthermore, S. aureus isolates were tested using a molecular-based method, namely Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). This method includes DNA isolation stages, qualitative testing with agarose gel electrophoresis, semi-quantitative testing with image J software, amplification with Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) using norA gene primers. The Mann-Whitney test results gave a value of p = 0.334 (p> 0.05) indicating the suitability between the culture method and the PCR method with the developed protocol in detecting Staphylococcus aureus. The developed method includes the use of base sequences in the norA gene primer, optimization of annealing and extension temperatures, and the concentration of DNA templates used.

Abstract

Microplastic contamination in water provides an ideal surface for biofilm formation. It facilitates other pollutants, such as heavy metals, to attach to their surface. This interaction leads to biological and environmental problems. We tested this phenomenon by investigating the presence of microplastics in water, biofilms on surfaces, and heavy metal accumulation during September 2024. It further examines the relationship between microplastic and their contamination in fish. Samples were collected from two stations, namely Kondang Buntung Fish Auction Place (TPI) and the Indonesian Navy Post, water from Sendang Biru, using a purposive sampling method. A total of 20 liters of water and 6 Banyar fish (Rastrelliger kanagurta) specimens were analyzed. In contrast, biofilm morphology and heavy metal content were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray. The result found that fibre-shaped microplastics, with fragments and filaments, dominated water samples. Microplastics 1-5 mm in size show that their colors included black, blue, red, and transparent. Five biofilm morphologies on the microplastic surfaces were identified: platelet, thin film, solid film, sporous, and diatoms. Heavy metals (Pb, Hg, Cd, Al, Mg, Fe) were detected with weight percentages ranging from 0.473 to 2.533%. Microplastics are found in the digestive tracts of fish, predominantly microplastic as filaments followed by fragments and fibers. We found that biofilm-coated microplastics accumulate heavy metals, posing a risk of pollutant transfer to aquatic organisms.

Abstract

This research explores the correlation between microplastic abundance and water quality parameters in Sendang Biru Waters, Malang Regency, focusing on two sampling locations: TPI Kondang Buntung and TNI Naval Post. Water samples were collected and analyzed for microplastics using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify various polymer types. Statistical methods, including Spearman's correlation and Kruskal-Wallis tests, were employed to assess the relationship between microplastic presence and water quality indicators such as pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), total suspended solids (TSS), and biological oxygen demand (BOD). The results show significant correlations between microplastic abundance and water quality parameters. The correlation coefficient for pH was -0.823 (p < 0.05), indicating an inverse relationship between microplastics and pH. For DO, the correlation coefficient was -0.612 (p < 0.05), suggesting that higher microplastic concentrations are associated with lower oxygen levels. TSS showed a correlation coefficient of 0.711 (p < 0.05), indicating a positive relationship. BOD revealed a coefficient of 0.794 (p < 0.05), suggesting higher microplastic abundance corresponds to greater organic pollution. The study highlights the impact of human activities, especially fishing and tourism, on microplastic pollution and its potential effects on marine ecosystems and human health. Additionally, the presence of microplastics in water bodies raises concerns about their role as carriers of toxic pollutants.
