Abstract

The Physalis angulata L. (ciplukan), originating from the Solanaceae family, contains secondary metabolites that can be used as medicinal materials. The provision of Physalis angulata seeds is hindered by seed dormancy. Dormancy can be broken by employing a 0.2% w/v KNO3 solution with a specific soaking period. This study aims to optimise the duration of the soaking period for Physalis angulata seed germination and the in vitro growing medium. The seeds were soaked in a 0.2% w/v KNO3 solution for 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours. The soaked seeds were planted in sterile tissue media moistened with Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium solution, a 0.2% w/v KNO3 solution, and distilled water. Generally, the dormancy of Physalis angulata seeds can be broken by soaking them in a 0.2% w/v KNO3 solution. The results of this study indicated that Physalis angulata seeds soaked in a 0.2% w/v KNO3 solution for 6 hours and 12 hours, then planted in sterile tissue media moistened with the MS medium solution, exhibited an optimal germination response.

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 is a virus that initially appeared in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019. In Indonesia, multiple variants of SARS-CoV-2 have been identified, as well as various local variants that are not yet considered to be ‘variants of concern’. Therefore, this investigation is intended to understand the prevalence and epidemiology of the virus, along with detecting the mutations that occur in genes associated with whole-genome-sequences (WGS) isolated in Indonesia. Analyses were performed to investigate SARS-CoV-2 prevalence in Indonesia using data obtained from GISAID.org. Whole-genome sequencing was performed on random samples taken from GISAID.org utilizing the BLAST tool from NCBI. The variants identified in Indonesia are alpha, beta and delta variants, as well as local variants B.1.470 and B.1.466.2. In total there are 9,260 isolated genomes collected in GISAID were located in Indonesia. Using BLAST, the variants were compared with the Wild-Type from Wuhan NC.045512.2. Multiple mutations were observed in the samples. The results from whole-genome sequencing of variants isolated in Indonesia have found that multiple mutations have occurred in genes of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and it caused alterations in the characteristics of the virus and may affect vaccine efficacy.

Abstract

Anaerobic digestion (AD) of dairy cow feces (DCF) has low methane production per ton of waste. A strategy to overcome this drawback is to co-digest DCF and carica seed (CS). Currently, CS is still a waste from the candied carica in the syrup industry and is often just thrown away into the environment. This research aims to evaluate the optimal level of combination for methane production from DCF with co-substrates of germinated (CGM) and non-germinated (CNG) CS meal using Respond Surface Methodology (RSM). This research uses a completely randomized design with a factorial pattern consisting of the first factor being CGM and CNG, and the second factor being the combined level of DCF and CS (CGM or CNG. The result showed that utilization of CS can increase significantly (p<0.05) methane production of the final substrate compared to the control (digester treating DCF only). Utilization of CGM as co-substrate with DCF can also increase methane production (p<0.05) compared to CNG. All parameters in the liquid phase were in the normal range for AD. Based on the research results, the optimum point with a desirability value close to 1 was achieved at a ratio of CGM10 and DCF90. CS was proven can be used as a co-substrate with DCF to increase methane production of the final substrate and germination can be used as a method to increase the methane yield of CS.

Abstract

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Shikimate Kinase (MtSK) has a crucial role in the shikimic pathway, which is essential for this bacteria but is absent in humans, making it a potential target for novel anti-tuberculosis drugs. This study used enzyme-coupled fluorescence to examine the stability of MtSK stored in 50% glycerol at -30 ℃, 4 ℃, and ±28 ℃ for six days. Results showed stable enzyme activity values (α=0.05) at all temperatures. This research underscores that MtSK’s stability depends on its molecular properties, including GC content, hydrophobic residues, Mg2+ binding, and intra-helical salt bridge. Despite some activity decline over time due to glycerol-induced aggregation, MtSK can be safely transported at ±28 ℃ for up to six days without special cooling compartment. Understanding MtSK stability ensures its active conformation remains consistent, reducing off-target effects on drug design and enhancing drug efficacy. This insight ultimately leads to high-quality and commercially viable tuberculosis treatment development. Future research should explore MtSK stability at higher temperatures and assess the optimal glycerol content for cryopreservation.

Abstract

Oxidative stress is the result of an imbalance between antioxidant production and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Leydig cells have a high content of PUFAs in their cell membrane, making it easy to bind ROS. Most natural antioxidants are found in plants, including Moringa. In this work, aged Wistar rats' Leydig cells will be used to test the antioxidant activity of an ethanol extract from the leaves of Moringa oleivera (Rattus norvegicus). The study involved the division of 36 elderly rats, who were between the ages of 18 and 19 months, into two groups. For thirty days, the control group received the same quantity of 0.5% CMC every day, whereas the treatment group received 50 mg/kgBW/0.5 mL of Moringa leaf ethanol extract daily. The rats were healthy and free of physical impairments. The Independent Samples T-Test is used to assess the data in order to find any variations between the treatment and control groups. The significant difference (p < 0.00) in Leydig cell counts between the extract-treated group and the control group suggests that the ethanol extract of Moringa leaves can have a major effect on the number of Leydig cells in Old Wistar rats (Rattus Norvegicus).

Abstract

Skin infections caused by Candida albicans and Candida krusei pose a serious health issue. One major concern regarding these infections is the resistance to antifungal drugs, highlighting the need for natural antifungals. Chaetoceros calcitrans, a microalgae, is known to contain natural antimicrobial compounds. This study aims to evaluate the antifungal potential of C. calcitrans n-hexane extract against both pathogens. The antifungal activity was tested using the diffusion method. The results indicated that the extract at a concentration of 100 mg mL⁻¹ inhibited the growth of C. albicans and C. krusei, showing the highest inhibition zones of 10.3 ± 0.9 mm and 9 ± 1.4 mm, respectively. GC-MS analysis revealed that the C. calcitrans extract contains antifungal compounds, including 2-Butyl-1-hexyloctahydro-1H-indene, at a concentration of 30.72%. Therefore, it can be concluded that C. calcitrans extract possesses antifungal activity and has potential as a drug candidate for fungal skin infections.

Abstract

The mRNA expression system has revolutionised biotechnology, notably in viral mRNA vaccine development, cancer immunotherapy, and gene therapy. However, recent safety concerns regarding the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine have emerged, particularly regarding its rare adverse effects and its possible connection to cancer. This review explains several approaches used in developing viral mRNA vaccines, the past obstacles solved in generating the current COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, and finally the current advancements and ongoing challenges in the viral mRNA vaccine field. We particularly focus on strategies and methods to improve the safety and translation efficiency of the mRNA vaccine, such as enhancing the vaccine’s transfection specificity to targeted dendritic cells (DC) and using viral IRES or self-amplifying mRNA format to improve mRNA translation efficiency.

Abstract

Sonchus arvensis is a plant widely found in Southeast Asia and often used in traditional medicine. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is a bacteria isolated from S. arvensis and categorized as qualified presumption of safety by the European Food Safety Authority and the US Food and Drug Administration. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the bioactive metabolites of Lpb. plantarum as antimicrobial agents. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated using the serial dilution method, followed by isolation and amplification of the DNA through a 16S rRNA universal primer. Antimicrobial activity was screened using the well-diffusion method. Plantaricin gene identification was performed using PCR and the determination of lactic acid content was conducted using Spectrophotometric. In addition, the titration method was used to measure and determine the hydrogen peroxide. The results showed that Lpb. plantarum had higher inhibition toward pathogen bacteria than Lc. lactis. Lpb. plantarum had the largest inhibition zone against B. subtillis, followed by S. aureus and E. coli, respectively. It was discovered that Lpb. plantarum precipitated with ammonium sulfate had a greater protein content and antibacterial activity. Furthermore, Lpb. plantarum, which encodes plnA and plnEF, produced lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide at concentrations of 3.0158±0.2774 mg/mL and 0.195±0.04 mg/mL, respectively.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify female goats with the potential to give birth to triplets by examining morphological characteristics correlated with FSH and LH hormone levels in the blood. It included four triplet-bearing Boer goats and four triplet-bearing Etawah grade goats, each with 12 kids, and four single-bearing Boer goats and four single-bearing Etawah grade goats, each with four kids. Morphological indices of body sizes, including weight, height slope, length index, width slope, depth index, foreleg length, and hormone levels, were observed. A t-test and descriptive analysis were conducted. The average body size of Boer goats was larger than Etawah grade goats, but there were no significant morphological differences between triplet-bearing Boer and Etawah grade goats. However, single-bearing Boer goats had a significantly higher height slope than single-bearing Etawah grade goats. FSH levels significantly increased in the blood of triplet-bearing Boer goats compared to single-bearing Boer goats. Morphological indices and hormone levels can help select goats likely to give birth to triplets.
