Abstract

The rhizome of Etlingera elatior or Wualae (Tolakinese) has many advantages on traditional remedies and cooking in Sulawesi Tenggara. To support those advantages, two secondary metabolites derived from steroid and phenylpropanoic acid classes, stigmast-4-en-6β-ol-3-one (1) and p-coumaric acid (2), respectively, have been firstly isolated and identified from the E. elatior rhizome. Isolation of these two compounds was performed using several chromatography techniques, including thin layer chromatography (TLC), vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) and radial chromatography (RC). Identification of isolates was carried out using 1 H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and comparing the spectroscopy data with the library. The potency of antibacterial of the methanol extract of Wualae rhizome and the isolates were evaluated against Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Bacillus subtilis FNCC 0060, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 35218, Salmonella enterica ATCC 14028, and Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175 using agar diffusion method. Antioxidant activity was evaluated against DPPH radicals (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). The results show that the antibacterial potential of Wualae methanol extract is better than compound 1 and 2. Furthermore, the antioxidant properties of Compound 2 (IC50 159.47 μg/mL) was stronger than the antioxidant properties of Compound 1 (IC50 219.95 μg/mL) and the methanol extract (IC50 586.38 μg/mL).

Abstract

The review addressed aspects of plant fertilisation and the phenomenon of genetic cross-incompatibility in maize controlled by the Gametophyte1 locus. This phenomenon determines the failure to accomplish successful fertilisation and a full seed set when pollen grains carrying the ga1 allele pollinate female inflorescences carrying the Ga1-strong (Ga-1s) allele in the homozygous state (Ga1-s/Ga1-s). We divided the review work into several topics — first, the introduction of sexual plant reproduction. Second, pollen-pistil interactions in plants. Third, reproductive barriers during plant reproduction. Third, Incompatibility in plants. Fourth, fine mapping of the Ga1 locus in maize. Fifth, recent researches on Ga1-related cross-incompatibility in maize.

Abstract

One of the factors that influence the yield of cassia oil is the age of tree. Cassia bark is normally harvested at a tree age of 5 years old and continue to be harvested until 15 years of age. This study investigated the effect of tree age of Cinnamomum burmannii (5, 12 and 20 years old) on the yield, productivity and chemical composition of essential oil from leaf, branch and trunk bark. The essential oil was extracted using steam distillation and liquid-liquid extraction methods. The results showed that the optimum yield of Cinnamomum burmannii oil was obtained when the water content was in the range of 36-47%. The optimum yield of essential oils from the leaf was obtained at 1.36±0.31 wt% (5 years old) and for the branch and the trunk bark were obtained at 3.2±0.07 wt% and 2.95±0.30 wt% (both were 12 years old). Chemical composition of the essential oil was also analysed. The major components of Cinnamomum burmannii oil were determined as cinnamaldehyde (68.3%-82%), cinnamyl acetate (2.5%-16%), cinnamyl alcohol (2.25%-4.6%), and cinnamic acid (3%-8%). The productivity of essential oil was estimated at 336 kg/ha.year (5 years old), 577 kg/ha.year (12 years old) and 387 kg/ha.year (20 years old).

Abstract

Goat’s milk is white liquid derived from ruminant types of dairy goats. Milk is one of habitats of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). LAB have a potential as antimicrobial because capable to kill the pathogenic bacteria. LAB isolated from Etawa crossbreed goat’s milk were characterized to stipulate the genus of the isolates. Characterization of LAB consists of colony, morphology and biochemical assay. The morphological examination of the colony, cell morphology and biochemical assay showed that three isolates were identified as Leuconostoc, Enterococcus and Lactobacillus. The antimicrobial activity assay showed that those isolates exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, but those isolates did not exhibit antifungal activity against Candida albicans.

Abstract

A modification of bacterial medium using calcium lactate pentahydrate was developed for calcium carbonate precipitation. A total of five strains of bacteria were cultivated on the solution medium containing nutrient broth and calcium lactate pentahydrate. In this study, the variation of 3.2 mM and 16.2 mM of calcium lactate pentahydrate was used to obtain the optimum condition for bacterial growth. The results showed that isolated strains CPB 1, CPB 3, and CPB 5 with medium containing nutrient broth and 3.2 mM calcium lactate pentahydrate gave the optimum growth, pH and Eh, thus being favourable for the process of calcium carbonate precipitation. Hence, this will be useful for self-healing concrete.

Abstract

Jruek drien is an Acehnese traditional fermented food containing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from durian arilus fermentation. Lactic acid bacteria from jruek drien were considered as potential probiotics. The LAB from jruek drien were first identified by phenotyping and genotyping analysis. The aim of the research is to isolate DNA from lactic acid bacteria (JD-2 and JD-3) from jruek drien for identification based on 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis. The research steps consist of samples regeneration in MRSA medium with temperature of incubation at 37°C, samples culturing in TSB medium, DNA isolation, and measurement of the DNA concentration and DNA purity using nanophotometer. The result showed that the JD-2 and the JD-3 isolates grow well on selective media MRSA by incubation temperature at 37°C. JD-2 has a DNA concentration of 40.0 ng/μl with a purity level of 2.0, and JD-3 has a DNA concentration of 32.5 ng/μl with a purity level of 1.8 at the A260/A280 ratio. The 16S rRNA gene of JD-2 isolate was successfully amplified at 1426 bp and JD-3 isolate at 1435 bp. The JD-2 isolate was identified as Bacillus subtilis because it has the highest similarity with Bacillus subtilis strain WA3-4. The JD-3 isolate was identified as Lactobacillus plantarum because it has the highest similarity with L. plantarum strain CSI9 and strain CSI3.

Abstract

Triadica cochinchinensis has been used traditionally to treat diseases related to oxidative stress. Nonetheless, little is known about its biological activity. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity of this plant. For this purpose, qualitative phytochemicals, total phenolic, total flavonoid, antioxidant assays (DPPH and FRAP), and xanthine oxidase assay were evaluated towards methanol and organic fractions of its stem bark. Results showed the occurrence of flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, steroids, and saponins in the methanol extract. The extract and its two fractions (ethyl acetate and methanol) exhibited promising radical scavenging (IC50 values between 3.6-4.5 μg/mL) and ferric reduction activities (4.2-5.5 μg/μg of equivalent trolox amount). They also exhibited inhibition on the xanthine oxidase activity ranging from 43.8 to 80.5% at a dose of 100 μg/mL. These activities could be attributed to the amount of phenolics in the methanol extract and active fractions (136.6-174.1 mg GAE/g of sample). Our results suggested that the methanol extract of T. cochinchinensis stem bark could be used as a promising source of lead molecules for antioxidant and xanthine oxidase inhibitors from natural source.
