Abstract

D-tagatose is one of the products of L-arabinose isomerase which can be applied to food, cosmetics, and health. D-tagatose produced by L-AI has a low quantity. L-AI enzyme from thermophilic bacteria as Thermotoga thermarum (TTAI) can produce higher quantity of D-tagatose than mesophilic bacteria. Point mutation can increase L-AI activity. The analysis of enzyme structure and docking simulation can determine the variation in point mutations. Based on analysis of enzyme structure and docking simulation, TTAI has 494 amino acids compiled by 17 of α-helix dan 18 of β-strand. The analysis of TTAI structure get several active side residues Gln16, Leu18, Tyr19, Phe81, Gln125, His126,Met183, Phe273, Glu300, Glu327, Tyr329, His344, Met345, Ile366, His442, His443. The docking simulation suggested that the residues for binding D-tagatose are Trp422 and Tyr331. Two point mutations, i.e. M183A and F273L, are recommended based on the analysis of TTAI structure, homology structure, residues, and docking simulation. This variation in mutation can be used for further research in vitro.

Abstract

Dieng Plateau area has a geothermal energy power station with a capacity of 60 MW. Research Center for Geotechnology, Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) tried to expand the productive areas in Dieng to other prospective areas around Dieng Plateau using the Magnetotelluric method. Magnetotelluric measurement was done by taking path stretching from east to west and from north to south comprising of 24 locations, each with a distance of 2 to 4 km. The tools used are Phoennix MTU-5A by using two kinds of coils, namely MTC-30 for high frequency 1,000–10.000 Hz and MTC-50 for low frequencies from 0.00001 to 400 Hz. Three lines for the two-dimensional cross section were made. From the three cross-sections, there are rocks with resistivity value of ≤32 Ωm interpreted as soft rock or alteration rock and Dieng volcanic rocks as cap rock. Under the cap rock, there are rocks with resistivity value between 64–1.000 Ωm with thickness of about 1,000–2,000 meters which are interpreted as volcanic clastic rocks and lava from Jembangan, Damar, and Ligung Formation as reservoir rocks. In the very bottom rock, there are rocks with resistivity value of ≥1,000 Ωm interpreted as igneous rock which still contain heat from the Quaternary intrusion that are not exposed at the surface and the Kumbang Formation consists of andesite and basalt lava. The developing structure is classified as normal fault structures as seen on all of the line that make the reservoir trap better. On the western region, namely Wanayasa area and the north west area of Mangunan, there were rocks with the same system and structure as found on the eastern area (Dieng prospect area). Therefore, in addition to current productive Dieng area, there are also other prospective areas in Wanayasa and Mangunan area.

Abstract

The manufacture of low temperature superconductor (LTS) MgB2 with relatively high critical temperature (Tc = 39K) wire fabricated by powder-in-tube (PIT) is a multi-step process. The main difficulty is that the value of Tc superconductor wire is determined by various factors. MgB2 superconductor has been developed for possible utilization in various practical applications, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The fabrication process of 2 mm rolled-copper sheath monofilament superconductor MgB2 wire using mechanical deformation process, including rolling and drawing, has been carried out. Starting by inserting powders, containing nominal composition of MgB2 into Cu tube with inner ø of 4 mm and outer ø of 6 mm, then they were rolled and drawn into wires (ø 2 mm), subsequently. The process of copper tube rolling was subsequently repeated in order to obtain three samples using added 5% CNT and 10% CNT to the pure MgB2, then were heat-treated at 800°C for 2 hours respectively. The writers evaluated the doping effect of two types multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) with different aspect ratios on MgB2/Cu monofilament wires. Surface morphology was analyzed with SEM, crystal structure of MgB2 with XRD, whereas temperature dependence resistivity with four-point probe Cryogenic Magnet. SEM-EDS images showed that without addition of CNT, the crystal of MgB2 form dispersed uniformly in wire, but when added with 5% and 10% of CNT, the particle dispersed morphology was observed due to substitution of atom C into atom B. In contrast with pure MgB2, however, the pores increased as the CNTs doped increased of up to 5 wt%, makes it hard to identify the critical temperature. The temperature dependence of resistivity results showed that the critical temperatures were detected and kept shifting toward high 40 K with the addition of 10 wt% CNT. XRD analysis showed that some Mg may react with CNT to form MgB4 and graphite. Mg may react with oxygen to form MgO because the Cu sheath is not fully sealed and vacumed.

Abstract

Microalgal bloom occurrence is rapidly increasing in a very short time in a specific condition and dominating its habitat. Therefore, blooming often occurs in water ecosystems, from freshwater to brackish and marine. Although there is no officially acknowledged threshold concentration level, the amount of algae cells is estimated reaching hundreds or even thousands cells per mililiter, depending on the species and types. Algae blooming is considered harmful because it gives such a big impact varies on water ecosystems, depending on the species involved, the environment where they are found, and their mechanism metabolism. The hazardous algae poison causes severe effect to various species, such as mammals and other sea creatures, with each presenting specific toxicity in decreasing motor development, immunology, neurological capacity, and reproduction capacity.In this report, the tropical algal bloom biomasses were used for fermentation substrate as substituent of carbon sources in purpose to produce a useful compound of lactic acid. Lactic acid is base material used in forming polylactic acid (PLA) polymerase that is known as basic material for biohydrogen precursor. The lactate bacteria were isolated from local tropical fruit.The result showed all microalgal biomasses converted successfully into lactic acid for 68–92% based on total carbohydrates conversion into lactic acid compounds. Algal bloom biomasses contained mostly of carbohydrate complexes (60–70% of dry weight), protein (10–20% of dry weight), lipid (20–30% of dry weight), and other compounds (5–10% of dry weight). The fermentation result showed that various microalgal blooms biomasses were successfully converted into lactic acid ranging from 58–92% based on total carbohydrates conversion into lactates. Furthermore, the obtained lactic acid was converted into polylactic acid through direct polycondensation process with average result of 60–84% formation unit base on lactic acid weight. Therefore, lactic acid was also successfully converted into hydrogen gas using fermentation process with efficient value from 78–90% unit based on the weight of lactic acid molecules. All these results showed that the unuseful algal biomass could be utilized as a substrate or precursor of fermentation process in term of biodegradable material and energy production, and also lactic acid is an applicable compound in forming polymers and energy.
