Abstract

Amylase is the most studied enzyme in biotechnology and also accounts for 25% of the total enzyme market worldwide. In industry, amylase has potential applications in the bakery, textile, detergent, syrup, pharmaceutical, and medical industries. One of the potential sources of amylase is microbes, because it is easy to isolate, culture, and also genetically engineered. Liquid waste is one of the most potential and abundant sources of microbes. In this study, the authors used palm oil waste as a source of amylase-producing microbes. The purpose of this study was to isolate and screen bacteria that showed amylase activity. Bacteria were isolated from palm oil liquid waste samples using the serial dilution method and the number of CFUs was calculated. The isolates were then characterized morphologically including Gram staining, elevation, color, edge, cell shape and also catalase reaction. Characterization results obtained 7 gram positive isolates and 8 gram negative isolates, the shape of cocci (12 isolates) and bacilli (3 isolates) and convex elevation and white isolates. Amylase activity was detected using nutrient agar media supplemented with 1% starch and the amylolytic index was measured. Amylolytic activity was indicated by the presence of a clear zone around the isolate. Of the 15 isolates, only 1 isolate showed amylase activity, namely LCF 4 with an amylolytic index of 0.57. Further research is recommended to identify and determine enzyme activity.Keywords : Activity; amylase; bacteria; palm oil liquid waste

Abstract

Wuluh starfruit in Aceh commonly called "Boh Limeung" is a plant that is very often encountered, because star fruit is one of the spices in cooking. The Acehnese use star fruit as "SUNTI ACID", which is star fruit that is dried and then salted and used as a spice in cooking. The chemical compounds in star fruit leaves are flavonoids, saponins, sulfur, formic acid, steroid peroxides and tannins which are able to inhibit microbial activity and damage cell membranes so that, they can inhibit bacterial growth. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of starfruit leaves (Averrhoal bilimbi L.) as antifungal candida albicans. The method used in this research is experimental laboratory. The treatments given in this study were 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% methanol extract concentrations. Then for the positive control (+), ketoconazole was used and for the negative control (-) aquadest was used. Based on the results obtained from the methanol extract of starfruit leaves (Averrhoal bilimbi L.) at concentrations of 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, the average inhibition zone values were 17.5 mm, 17.35 mm, 17.95. mm, 18.77 mm. In Table 4.2, it can be seen that the largest inhibition zone is in the positive control (+) which is 23.5 mm while the negative control (-) is 0 mm.

Abstract

Hyperuricemia is a state of uric acid in the body that is higher than the body's tolerance limit. The formation of uric acid will be accompanied by the formation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) by the changes of Xanthine Dehydrogenase to Xanthine Oxide with the help of NAD+ and Oxygen, which can trigger oxidative stress, causing cell damage and apoptotic cell, one of which is through lipid peroxidation followed by the release of Malondialdehyde (MDA) into the extracellular space. This study aims to analyze the effect of giving melinjo peel ethanol extract (Gnetum gnemon) on serum MDA levels in hyperuricemic Wistar strain rats. Rats were grouped into 4 treatment groups, namely K0 (without treatment), Kneg (hyperuricemia and CMC), Kpos (hyperuricemia and allopurinol), and P (hyperuricemia and ethanol extract of melinjo peel). Manufacture a hyperuricemic rat model by giving a high-fructose diet and then measuring uric acid levels to ensure that the rat is already in hyperuricemia. The high-fructose diet was continued until the rats were executed. Serum MDA was measured using the Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method. The results showed differences in MDA levels between groups of hyperuricemic rats. Based on the examination of lower MDA levels after administration of melinjo peel ethanol extract compared to the CMC group and the allopurinol group, statistically significant differences were obtained (p = 0.001). Based on the analysis results, it was concluded that the ethanolic extract of melinjo peel (Gnetum gnemon) could reduce serum MDA levels in hyperuricemic Wistar rats.

Abstract

Sumbawa horse milk is one of the local products in Sumbawa (West Nusa Tenggara). There is no research so far which discusses the potencies of LAB metabolite compounds as antimicrobials and probiotics for treating Diabetes Mellitus type 2. This study aims to obtain the antimicrobial and inhibitory activity of the LAB-extracted metabolite compounds from Sumbawa horse milk collected from Penyaring village and Lennanguar village, Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. LAB metabolites are extracted by using 96% ethanol. It has been found that metabolites extracted from media culture of LAB SKP K.9 (E. thailandicus) have the highest antimicrobial activity against S. aureus (ATCC 6538) (2.5 cm), S. typhimurium (2.5 cm), L. monocytogenes (BTCC B693) (2.53 cm) and EPEC K.1.1 (2.7 cm) when compared with other LAB isolates. Moreover, the inhibition of α-glucosidase enzyme obtained from LAB SKP K.5 isolate (L. garvieae) is 6.25%, 39.28% from LAB SKP K.9 (E. thailandicus), 53.57% from LAB SKP K.3 (W. confusa), 67.85% from LAB SKL K.4 (L. fermentum), and 78.57% from LAB SK 1.5 (E. faecium). The extract of LAB SK 1.5 metabolite compound (E. faecium) has the highest inhibitory activity against the α-glucosidase enzyme (78.57%) compared to other LAB isolates.

Abstract

The study was designed to evaluate the hematological effect of ethanol extract of Pirdot (Saurauia vulcani) (EES) in white rats induce rhodamine B and predict interaction of bioactive compound Pirdot to bind active site Keap1-Nrf2. Twenty- four Male Wistar rats (100-200 g) divided into four groups. Group P1 served as group control is administered with CMC 0.5%; group P2 is treated with Rhodamine B 750 mg/kg BW, Group KP1 administered EES 500 mg/kg BW; and Group KP2 is treated with EES 500 mg/kg BW+ Rhodamine B 750 mg/kg BW. Hematological parameters were assessed. The results revealed that red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC), thrombocyte count, and hemoglobin concentration (Hb) in rats induced Rhodamine B significantly lower than the control group. However, EES could improve the value of hematological profile. Our finding demonstrated that EES normalizes the value of hematological parameters in rats induce Rhodamine B. Moreover, beta-amyrin, pomolic acid and maslinic acid from Pirdot had good binding affinity to Keap1-Nrf2
