Abstract

The efficiency of expression of recombinant proteins in host cells depends on achieving proper protein folding, solubility, and biological activity. Critical environmental factors, including temperature, pH, nutrient availability, and inducer concentration, significantly influence protein yield, stability, and functionality. Optimizing these conditions is essential to minimize protein misfolding and aggregation, which can adversely affect expression efficiency and reduce bioactivity. This study aims to measure the effect of temperature on the growth of Escherichia coli BL21 harboring the recombinant JSU protein, derived from the ENV-SU gene of the Jembrana virus. A controlled laboratory experiment was conducted in which bacterial cultures were incubated at 25°C and 37°C under identical conditions, except for temperature. The results indicate a statistically significant difference in bacterial growth between the two temperature conditions (p = 0.08), suggesting that E. coli BL21 exhibits enhanced growth at 37°C compared to 25°C. The mean bacterial growth rate at 37°C was 1.756, whereas at 25°C, the average growth was 1.425, demonstrating that higher temperatures facilitate bacterial proliferation. However, due to the relatively small sample size, further validation with a larger dataset is required to confirm these findings. These findings highlight the critical role of temperature optimization in enhancing bacterial growth and improving recombinant protein production efficiency, emphasizing the need for further investigation with a larger dataset to validate the results. Keywords: recombinant protein; temperature; IPTG; Escherichia coli BL21; JSU construct.

Abstract

Nutmeg seeds (Myristica fragran Houtt.) are natural materials containing active compounds with potential antibacterial properties. This study aims to determine the antibacterial activity of nutmeg seed methanol extract and the effective concentration for inhibiting the growth of S. aureus and E. coli, as well as to compare the inhibition zones produced against both bacteria. The nutmeg seed extract was obtained through maceration extraction using 96% methanol solvent. The antibacterial activity was tested using the disc diffusion method with three different concentrations of the extract: 20%, 30%, and 40%, along with chloramphenicol (positive control) and 10% DMSO (negative control). The inhibition zone data were analyzed using ANOVA with SPSS 26, followed by the DMRT test. Phytochemical testing revealed that the methanol extract of nutmeg seeds positively contains alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, quinones, and triterpenoids. The results showed that the methanol extract of nutmeg seeds at concentrations of 20%, 30%, and 40% produced inhibition zones against S. aureus of 11.83 mm, 12.56 mm, and 15.06 mm, respectively, and against E. coli, the inhibition zones measured 11.83 mm, 12.56 mm, and 15.06 mm. The study concludes that the methanol extract of nutmeg seeds exhibits strong antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli, with the most effective concentration being 40%. Additionally, the nutmeg seed methanol extract tended to have better antibacterial properties against E. coli than against S. aureus.

Abstract

North Sumatra is the largest durian-producing province in Indonesia. As a result, durian skin waste has increased, reaching 332,712 tons annually. Durian skin is divided into the outer layer, known as the flavedo and the inner layer called the albedo. Durian skin contains chemical compounds such as lignin and tannins, which hinder its efficient decomposition. Therefore, environmentally friendly solutions for processing durian skin waste are needed. One such solution is the production of eco-enzyme. Eco-enzyme is a complex solution produced by fermenting organic waste with molasses and water, using selective microorganisms. It has various applications, such as household cleaners, organic fertilizers, and pest control. The purpose of this study was to identify the physicochemical characteristics and quality of the eco-enzyme produced, as well as its potential to reduce environmental pollution. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with an experimental approach. The process involved coarsely chopping durian albedo and mixing it with molasses and water in a 1:3:10 ratio (sugar, albedo, and water). The mixture was fermented for three months, sealed tightly in a container, and periodically opened. The resulting liquid was the eco-enzyme. Physicochemical tests were conducted to evaluate pH, aroma, color, total dissolved solids (TDS) and other properties, including Wagner's Reagent test, Alkaline Reagent test, Foam test, and Quinone test. The results showed that durian albedo is highly suitable for producing eco-enzyme, yielding a product with a pH of 2.4, a TDS value of 855, a blackish-brown color, a fruity fermentation aroma, and containing phytochemical compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and quinones.
