Abstract

Abstract Bacillus thuringiensis is one type of bacteria that has been used as a microbiological control agent for pests and a vector of plant disease. The presence of Cry proteins inside the B. thuringiensis can be acted as a specific insect repellent that only toxic to certain insects. The CryI protein is toxic to Lepidoptera insects which can attack various types of plants. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a common method that can be used to amplify the gene encoding CryI proteins from B. thuringiensis. This research aimed to design a good primer candidate for cryI gene amplification from B. thuringiensis. In silico analysis for designing cryI primer was carried out using some software, such as BLAST for searching cryI gene sequence, Bioedit for sequences alignment, and DINAmelt for analyzing dimer structure of primers. Ten primer candidates were successfully obtained based on the result of the primer3 software. A pair of primer was selected to amplify the cryI gene, with forward primer 5’- CGGTGAATGCCCTGTTTACT -3’ and reverse primer 5’-CGGTCTGGTTGCCTATTGAT -3’. Amplification of the cryI gene by PCR method using selected primer resulting in a PCR product with a length of approximately 200 bp.

Abstract

Corona Virus Disease 2019 or COVID-19 is a new type of virus that attacks the respiratory tract and can cause death. Laboratory examinations play an essential role in diagnosing COVID-19 with a set of reagents or kits. Sampiand sampling is carried out with a nasopharyngeal swab or oropharyngeal swab. Positive samples of COVID-19 patients used in this study were converted into RNA at the COVID-19 Referral Clinic in Bekasi, after which volume optimization was carried out with a total volume of 5 µl, 8 µl, and 10 µl with the Logix Smart™ kit. The method in this study uses One-Step Real-time PCR. This method is the best method for carrying out several bear tests because it can reduce the possibility of sample contamination. The procedure is fast and has high sensitivity. The fluorescence detection used in this study was FAM with a specific target of COVID-19 RNA and ROX with a particular DNA target of RNase-P. This research was conducted to obtain optimal volume conditions under the manufacturer's standards in detecting the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The results of this study indicate that a total volume of 5 l is the optimal total volume for detecting the presence of the SARS- CoV-2 virus in samples taken from patients.
