Abstract

The microbial community in Kawah Hujan, Kamojang, West Java, Indonesia, was analyzed using 16S-rRNA-gene-sequencing combining with denaturing-gradient-gel electrophoresis (DGGE) technique. Two different cell lysis methods, enzymatic-based, and physical treatment-based DNA extraction, were used to isolate chromosomal DNA for 16S rDNA gene-fragment amplification. The DGGE profiles showed some differences in banding pattern that were obtained from both cell lysis methods. The DNA sequence analysis of the individual DGGE bands revealed that most of the band sequences obtained by physical treatment were close to 16S rRNA gene fragments from the bacterial domain, while most of band sequences performed by enzymatic method had high homology with 16S rRNA gene fragments from archaeal domain. Further analysis of the sequences from both methods performed by comparisons with the Ribosomal Database Project showed that some of DGGE sequences from Kawah Hujan consisted unique 16S rDNA sequences.

Abstract

One hundred and twenty isolates of chitosanase producing bacteria were screened from water and soil from localies around Matsue city, Japan. In previous experiments, four isolates (isolates 96, 97, 99, and 100 strain ) were analyzed for their chitosanase characteristics, and one of the isolates (99) was detected as being both a chitosanase and a chitinase producer. Characteristics of the chitinase enzyme were analyzed in this study. Chitinase from bacterial isolate 99 showed higher activities compared to that Enterobacter sp. G-1 (isolated from water in Matsue city, Japan), the activity was 0.039 U/ml and the specific activity was 0.56 U/mg protein, while those from Enterobacter sp. G-1 were 0.029 U/ml and 0.48 U/mg protein respectively. Chitinase from isolate 99 was stable in a pH range between 4-7, while that from Enterobacter sp. G-1 was stable in pH range 3-7. Optimum pH of the chitinase produced by isolate 99 was 5 whereas the chitinase from Enterobacter sp. G-1 it was pH 7. Chitinase from isolate 99 was stable at temperature 20-60°C, while that from Enterobacter sp. G-1 at 20-50°C. Chitinase secreted by isolate 99 showed optimum temperature of 50°C while chitinase from Enterobacter sp. G-1 was optimal at 40°C. Several ions (Fe2+, Ba2+, Co2+) increased the activity of the enzyme from isolate 99 whereas Ca2+ and Co2+ increased activity of the Enterobacter sp. G-1 chitinase..

Abstract

In Hokkaido, Fusarium basal rot, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae is one of the important constrains since 1973 which contributes to a significant loss in onion production, either in the fields or during storage. Development of resistant cultivars is suggested as one of the effective control measures against the disease, however, this should be accompanied with thebetter understanding of the pathogen’s population dynamics. This study was performed to investigate the population structure of F. oxysporum f. sp. cepae based on vegetative compatibility groupings (VCGs). Vegetative compatibility groups of F.oxysporum f. sp. cepae were characterized using nitrate non-utilizing (nit) mutants. Four VCGs and 2 single self-compatible (SSC) isolates were identified among 48 isolates, designated as VCG 0420 (33 isolates), 0421 (9 isolates), 0422 (2 isolates), 0423 (2 isolates), and 042-(2 isolates). VCG 0420, to which 4 ATCC isolates out of 6 belonged, was the predominant group within the growing region encompassing Hokkaido Japan. VCGs 0421 and artificial VCG 042- were found less frequently. Four isolates from Welsh onion were not compatible with any recovered VCGs and were assigned to 2 distinct VCGs (VCG 0422 and 0423).

Abstract

Bacillus pumilus PU4-2 produces xylanase (â-1,4-D-xylan xylanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.8) in wheat pollard with high activity. Water and NaOH-soaked pollard were used in this research to enhance the production of assayable enzyme. Enzyme activity was produced in minimal media containing 3% w/v untreated or water or NaOH-soaked pollards in 250 ml flasks incubated on shaker incubator at 30°C and 150 rpm for 36 h. The production was also compared to untreated oatmeal known as an inducer substrate. The highest xylanase activity was obtained by using untreated pollard as a sole carbon source. The enzyme activity was 157 U ml-1 with specific activity at 718 U mg-1. Xylanase production using different soaking time for water pretreated pollard also confirmed that untreated pollard was the best inducer. The production was not influenced by different water soaking times used to remove reducing sugar. Although pretreatment decreased the reducing sugar, the reduction did not enhance assayable enzyme levels. The production was best induced by the soluble oligosaccharides of untreated pollard. We conclude that B. pumilus PU4-2 was able to produce xylanase with reducing sugar content up to 660 ppm present in production medium. With this reducing sugar level, repression of enzyme production was not detected in the production medium.

Abstract

A rapid and simple method to amplify genomic DNA sequences flanking mini-Tn5 transposon insertion was developed. This technique can be used to determine the location and orientation of the transposon insertion within genomic DNA of the bacteria. Based on the mini-Tn5Km1 transposon sequence, PCR primers can be designed to specifically amplify the DNA sequences flanking mini-Tn5 transposon by inverse polymerase chain reaction (inverse PCR) directly, upstream and downstream of the transposon insertion. The method involves: (i) digestion with a restriction enzyme that does not cut mini-Tn5Km1 sequence; (ii) self-ligation under conditionsfavoring the production of monomeric circles; and (iii) inverse PCR reaction using primers designed from mini-Tn5Km1 sequence to amplify the DNA sequences flanking mini-Tn5Km1 transposon insertion. Feasibility and reliability of this method were demonstrated with mini-Tn5Km1 mutants of the microaerobic magnetic bacterium Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 which are defective in magnetosomes synthesis. The inverse PCR products amplified from these mutant genomes showed the correct fragments as determined through Southern hybridization and DNA sequence analysis.

Abstract

Azotobacter chroococcum has a great potential as biosurfactant producing bacteria and was used as co-inoculant to promote the rate of hydrocarbon biodegradation. The rate of hydrocarbon biodegradation were 0.01212, 0.01582, and 0.01766 per day for Acinetobacter sp., Bacillus cereus and the consorsium culture respectively. On the other hand, the rates of biodegradation using Azotobacter as co-inoculant were 0.1472, 0.01612, and 0.02709 g per day. Azotobacter chroococcum co-inoculant has the capability of increasing biodegradation efficiency of crude oilhydrocarbon. The biodegradation efficiency of petroleum hidrocarbon was increated by 13.4, 14.6, and 14.4% within the Petrobacter cultures.

Abstract

A comparison of the protein patterns in root extracts from none mycorrhizal and mycorrhizal oil palm roots has been made. The polypeptides were analyzed every three weeks up to 11 weeks. A factorial design of fungi species (no mycorrhizal, Acaulospora tuberculata, Gigaspora margarita) and with or without fertilizer was assessed. The result showed that specific polypeptides were detected in primary and secondary roots. In unfertilized oil palm root, a 60 kDa polypeptide was detected while it was abcent in fertilized root. Inoculation of A. tuberculata with the addition of fertilizer application yielded a specific 26.7 kDa polypeptide in primary root on the 11th week after inoculation. A specific 64.2 kDa polypeptide of G. margarita was detected in unfertilized secondary root also on the 11th week.

Abstract

A total of 43 Escherichia coli isolates were identified from school street foods located in Northern and Southern Jakarta. The isolates were examined for antibiotic resistance using five antibiotics discs (ampicillin, kanamycin, streptomycin, trimethoprim, tetracycline) and screened for the class 1 integron with specific conserved region primer using PCR amplification. The antibiotic diffusion test revealed three isolates (7%) with resistance to multiple antibiotics. PCR detection of integron regions showed one isolate possessed a class 1 integron bearing one gene cassette with ~700bp amplicon size. DNA sequencing showed that the gene cassette was resistant to trimethoprim determinant type V (dhfrV). The integron bearing E. coli strain could become a threat for the widespread distribution of an antibiotic resistance gene especially for pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract

Monascus sp. isolated from Cikapundung River, Bandung was mutated using ethyl methanesulfonate (2.5%, 90 min). Previously, this wild type was identified as Monascus purpureus ITBCC-HD-F001 employing random amplification polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Stability of the mutant was observed using color consistency and mutant stability (sub-culturing for five generations) tests. Genetic variation of the mutant (M. purpureus ITBCC-HDF002) was confirmed by RAPD. One of the DNA bands of 1150 bp was found in the albino mutant but not in the wild type, so it was considered as a genetic variation resulting from the mutation process. The albino mutant was characterized by comparing the growth curve, biomass production curve, and the monascidin A production curve of both strains i.e. wild type and the albino mutant. Monascidin A production of the mutant was higher than that of the wild type.

Abstract

Burn injury causes mechanical disruption to the skin, which allows environmental microbes to invade the deeper tissues. A prospective study of infections in burn patients has shown that the incidence of hospital acquired bacterial infection in burn wounds was high. In the Burns Unit, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, 94 patients were hospitalized from January to July 2004. The objective of this study was to evaluate the hospital acquired infections in burn wounds. Using a cross sectional study, 49 patients were included. The specimens for bacterial investigation were obtained from clean eschar which has healthy tissue taken at day 1, day 5 and day 10. At the same time, bacterial investigations were conducted from the air and the water, as well as from the hand and nasal swabs of hospital personnel. The results show that Klebsiella pneumoniae is the most prominent bacterium found in the wounds, but it is also found in the air. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the number two causative bacteria which caused a change of the bacterial infectivity on day 5 and 10. These bacteria were always found when we conducted bacterial investigations from the water resource of the burns unit. Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus is also found in the nasal swab of hospital personnel. Using the antibiogram pattern, there were similarities between bacteria found in the wounds and in bacteria found in the air and water. In conclusion, hospital acquired burn wound infection in Burns Unit, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital is as high as 62%. The surveillance data are very important for developing good clinical practice guidelines in burn injury treatment and management
