Abstract

This research was carried out by developing the carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to determine the synergism between microalgae consortium and the optimum nutrient ratio as an effort to obtain higher CO2 removal efficiency and CO2 utilization efficiency. The microalgae consortium consisting of Chlorella sp., Scenedesmus sp. and Ankistrodesmus sp. have been selected previously as potential candidates for Microbial Carbon Capture and Storage (MCCS) agent and already cultured continuously in PHM (Provasoli Haematococcus Media) artificial medium, in vertical column photobioreactor. Pure CO2 gas at a high concentration of 10% (v/v) flowed from the bottom of vertical column photobioreactor continuously with optimum flow rate of 5 L.min-1. A growth medium (PHM) containing artificial nutrients was flowed continuously at flow rate 7L.day-1 and detention time 3.8 days. Four fluorescent lamps were positioned outside the photo-bioreactor to obtain light intensity of 4000 lux, set for 16 hours light exposure and 8 hours dark, with operating temperature 30°C maintained during the study. Three compositional variations of microalgae consortium were used. They are as follows;  Ch : Sc : An = 1: 1: 1; Ch : Sc = 1: 1; and Ch : An = 1: 1, where Ch, Sc, and An  were  Chlorella sp., Scenedesmus obliquus and Ankistrodesmus sp., respectively. The following variations of nutrient composition were used; C: N: P = 100: 10: 1, C: N: P = 100: 50: 1 and C: N: P = 100: 25: 1. The C, N, and P sources were CO2 (inorganic), KNO3, and KH2PO4, respectively. This study proves that synergism between the types making up the consortium also determined the ability to utilize inorganic carbon source. Without the presence of Ankistrodesmus sp., synergism between Scenedesmus obliquus and Chlorella sp. showed twice higher CO2 utilization efficiency in comparison to the synergism between Ankistrodesmus sp and Chlorella sp. Increased nitrogen concentration in medium increased the growth of Chlorella sp and Scenedesmus obliquus as a consortium, the CO2 removal efficiency, the CO2 utilization efficiency and the Carbon Uptake Rate. The nutrient ratios C:N:P of 100:50:1 could increase CO2 utilization efficiency upto 50% higher than the C:N:P of 100:10:1.

Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) belongs to the Hepadnaviridae family and it infects hepatocytes, which is the most common cell in liver. HBV infection is distinguished into acute and chronic infection based on the duration of infection. Chronic infection of HBV exists more than six months and it can develop into liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The development of chronic HBV infection is affected by viral particle load, genotype and subgenotype, as well as its association with HBV X gene mutation. The aim of this study is to determine the genotype and subgenotype based on X gene, and to detect its mutation. The X gene in DNA samples was amplified with nested PCR, which produced two fragments with size of 469bp and 395bp. The DNA sequencing results of the amplified product were analyzed by BLAST program to determine their HBV genotype and subgenotype based on the X gene sequences. The analysis showed that patients were infected mainly by HBV subgenotype B3, which are common in Indonesia. The obtained HBx gene sequences were aligned with HBx gene sequences from database to determine the genotype, subgenotype and amino acid substitution. In this study, we described the presence of known HCC-related HBx mutant, i.e. V5L, A47T, I127T and K130M/V131I, as well as new HBx mutant, i.e. G22S and A85T. The presence of HBx T118N mutant was detected at the highest percentage and occurred from samples with high HBV DNA titer.

Abstract

Until presently, relatively toxic and expensive chemical reageants are routinely used in the flotation of sulfide and oxide minerals. To establish a more environmentally friendly flotation process, alternative flotation reagents have been explored extensively by using microbes and their metabolic products such as biosurfactants or EPS (extracellular polymeric substances) as high molecular weight biosurfactants. Hence, the present work focused on the application of the mixotrophic bacteria capable of both producing biosurfactants and oxidizing iron-sulfur (herein Bacillus pumilus strain SKC-2 and Citrobacter youngae strain SKC-4) as flotation bioreagents in the microflotation of chalcopyrite, pyrite and silica. Laboratory microflotation tests using both bacterial strains as bioreagents were evaluated as a function of conditioning time, pH and bacterial cell concentration. Experimental evidence indicated that the chalcopyrite recoveries could be achived using both bacterial strains but its better recovery was obtained with the bacterium Citrobacter youngae as bioreagents. The findings of this study thus suggest the possible application of these bacterial strains as flotation bioreagents in order for establishing a more eco-friendly mineral processing.

Abstract

Bacterial biofilms produced by pathogenic bacteria have become a serious issue in several chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis, cystic fibrosis, endocarditis, inner ear infections, and kidney stones. Thus, inhibition and destruction of bacterial biofilm from pathogenic bacteria is needed. The purpose of this study is to analyze biofilm inhibition and destruction activities of marine bacteria associated with hard and soft corals isolated from several oceanic regions in Indonesia. Fifteen marine isolates collected from several regions in Indonesia such as Bali Province, South East Sulawesi Province, East Java Province, Lampung Province, and Banten Province were tested using static biofilm assay against several pathogenic bacteria. Biofilm of the pathogenic bacteria tested were stained using 0.4% crystal violet. Several isolates were sequenced using 16S rRNA PCR method. Most of marine isolates presented higher inhibition and or destruction activity at 10% crude concentration. Few isolates were further identified using 16S rRNA and proven to have antibiofilm activity against several pathogenic bacteria. Marine bacteria have broad applications in medical and pharmaceutical industries and the oceanic regions of Indonesia are promising sources for the discovery of novel bacteria with antibiofilm activity.

Abstract

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of the urinary system. Women are 3 times more likely to have UTI than men. The UTI accounts for 15% infection cases in outpatients and 24% cases in hospitalized patients. Although the most common cause of UTI is certain bacteria, but it was not easy to choose the appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Strategy for choosing empiric antimicrobial treatments for UTI in female out- and hospitalized patients should be based on the pattern of the causative organisms. The aim of this study was to understand the microbial pattern causing UTI in female out- and hospitalized patients in Jakarta. The UTI -1 causative microorganisms were obtained from urine culture containing 100,000 cfu/mL . Twenty nine microorganisms were found as the causative agents of UTI in 317 pregnant women who came to six Community Health Centres (Puskesmas) in Jakarta: Makassar; Pulogadung, Cakung, Pasar Rebo, Duren Sawit, and Kramat Jati for antenatal care. Twenty nine microorganisms were isolated from 114 urine samples of female hospitalized patients who were diagnosed of UTI. The samples were obtained from the Microbiology Laboratory Clinic of FKUI-RSCM. The most common microorganisms causing UTI in female out- and hospitalized patients were Gram negative bacteria. In female outpatients, Klebsiella sp was the most common causative bacteria (31%), followed by Escherichia coli (24.1%). In female hospitalized patients, Escherichia coli was the most common causative bacteria (30%), followed by Candida sp (24.1%) and Klebsiella pneumonia (6.8%). There was more variation in the pattern of UTI causative organisms in hospitalized female patients in comparison to that of the outpatients. Candida sp. was only found in hospitalized UTI patients but not in outpatients.

Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus with liver as primary target organ.This virus caused chronic infection that can progress to cirrhosis, liver cancer and even death. In vitro model system of hepatocyte cultures is important and widely used to study a variety aspects of hepatitis B. Development of small animal Tupaia sp. for the in vitro model system is an alternative to the existinghepatocyte cultures. The specific purpose of the studyis to develop Tupaia javanica hepatocytes culture for HBV replication, and in a broader spectrum to answer the need for in vitro model of hepatocytes. Primary T. javanica hepatocytes (PTH) culture was successfully maintained for 14 days to reach 80% confluence, and infection of Javan gibbon HBV (GiHBV) and orangutan HBV (OuHBV) onto the culture on day 15 showed viral replication for up to eight days as measured by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR quantification indicated that the highest copy number of DNA virus was detected onday two anddecreased until day 8 after infection. Cell receptor for HBV attachment, known as sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide was expressed on the surface of PTH and shown as green luminenscent when observed by immunofluorescence assay. Sequence of partialS gene from the apes HBVs after the viruses have been infected to the PTH showed amino acid identity to their wildtype as high as 99.29% for GiHBV and 95.71% for OuHBV. This study suggested that the PTH can support the replication of GiHBV and  OuHBV.

Abstract

Aloe is a crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) species that are known to live in extreme enviroment such as drought condition. Nitrogen fixation procces influenced by the ability of plants to adapt in drought condition. Endophytic bacteria from Aloe and their ability for nitrogen fixation were little reported, but potential and its relationship between the ability for nitrogen fixing with resistance to drought conditions have not been reported. This research aimed study the endophytic bacteria from two varieties of aloe, namely Aloe barbadensis Miller and Aloe sp. in their ability on conducting the nitrogen fixing process and its relationship with resistance to drought. Characterization of endophytic bacteria were carried out by morphological observation of colony, Gram staining and molecular identification. Screening of nitrogen fixation was done using nitrogen-free semisolid NFb malate medium. Endophytic bacteria from Aloe sp. more than A. barbadensis in their potency of nitrogen fixation which related with habitat where their planted. A total of 40% of the endophytic bacteria isolates from the leaves of the aloe var. A. barbadensis and 62.5% of isolates from var. Aloe sp. are known to have a better ability to fixing nitrogen than the others. Isolates A barbadensis AB 12 and Aloe sp. AS 8 were the best isolates from each varieties on ability for nitrogen fixation. Based on 16S rRNA gene analysis those two selected isolates belonged to Bacillus methalotropicus strain DA 16-5 and Bacillus aryabhattai strain B8W22.
