Abstract

This research aims to isolate actinomycetes that produce the enzyme L-asparaginase from Olo Beach and to determine the activity of the L-asparaginase enzyme produced. Actinomycetes producing the enzyme L-asparaginase were obtained through the following steps: isolation on SCA medium using the spread plate method; selection of L-asparaginase-producing actinomycetes on M-9 liquid medium with phenol red as a color indicator; production of L-asparaginase based on the principle of fermentation in production medium, followed by measurement of L-asparaginase activity and protein content. Protein content was determined using the Lowry method with Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as the standard. The data obtained were analyzed using ammonia and BSA standard curves. The results showed that 11 actinomycetes isolates from Olo Beach were capable of producing L-asparaginase. Qualitative selection showed a change in media color from yellow to pink, indicating the presence of L-asparaginase activity. Quantitatively, the highest L-asparaginase enzyme activity was 40.688 U/mL and the highest specific activity was 123,677 U/mg, found in isolate SPO 6. The lowest enzyme activity was 31,651 U/mL and the lowest specific activity was 25,874 U/mg. Specific activity is influenced by enzyme activity and protein content.

Abstract

This study aims to stimulate the effectiveness of antibacterial solutions and methanol extracts of lo'i keta, a traditional medicine from Bima-Dompu, West Nusa Tenggara, against the growth of both bacteria. Lo'i keta solutions and methanol extracts were tested at concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% using the agar well diffusion method. The inhibition zones formed were measured to assess antibacterial activity. Ciprofloxacin was used as a positive control, and distilled water as a negative control. The results showed that lo'i keta solutions and methanol extracts had inhibitory power against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. Its effectiveness increased with increasing concentrations of the solution and extract. The best activity was shown at a concentration of 100%, approaching the positive control. This study shows that lo'i keta has the potential as a natural alternative to fight gram-positive bacteria, because resistance to antibiotics is increasing and lo'i keta can be used as a traditional herbal medicine, but there has not been much scientific exploration.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the antibacterial activity of Lo’i keta solution and methanol extract against the growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The research employed a true experimental design using a Posttest Only Control Group Design with the well diffusion method. A total of 80 samples were divided into 20 treatment groups with concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, along with a positive control (ciprofloxacin) and a negative control (distilled water). GC-MS analysis revealed nine bioactive compounds in the methanol extract of Lo’i keta. The results showed that the Lo’i keta solution inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis with inhibition zones ranging from 15–24 mm, while the methanol extract produced larger inhibition zones of 18–32 mm. Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, only the methanol extract demonstrated antibacterial activity with inhibition zones of 13–17 mm, whereas the solution showed no inhibitory effect. The Kruskal-Wallis test indicated significant differences among the treatment groups. In conclusion, both the Lo’i keta solution and the methanol extract were effective in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis, while antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa was observed only in the methanol extract. Lo’i keta demonstrates potential to be developed as a traditional medicine-based antibacterial alternative.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the pupicidal activity of ethanol extract from bilimbi ( Averrhoa bilimbi L.) leaves against Ae. aegypti pupal mortality. A true experimental design was employed to evaluate the toxicity of various ethanol extract concentrations against pupae over treatment periods of 24 and 48 hours. Mortality rates were recorded and calculated using the WHO mortality formula, and lethal concentrations (LC50 and LC90) were determined via probit analysis to identify concentrations causing 50% and 90% pupal mortality. The results showed that the ethanol extract exhibited dose-dependent pupicidal activity, with the highest mortality observed at 4% concentration, achieving 97.33% mortality after 48 hours. The LC50 values were 2.378% at 24 hours and 1.425% at 48 hours, indicating an increased effectiveness over time. The findings suggest that the ethanol extract of bilimbi leaves has potential as a natural pupicide, offering an eco-friendly alternative for controlling Ae. aegypti populations. Further studies are needed to optimize formulation and field application for sustainable mosquito vector management.
