Abstract

Chitin extraction from shrimp shells involves two processing steps, these are the deproteination and demineralization process. The aim of this experiment was to compare the order of the chitin extraction process. The first experiment was deproteination of fresh shrimp shells followed by demineralization process and the second one was demineralization of fresh shrimp shells followed by deproteination. Bacillus licheniformis F11.1, a proteolytic producing bacterium, was used for the deproteination process. Lactobacillus acidophilus FNCC116, a lactic acid bacterium, was used for the demineralization process. The deproteination was done in a 1 liter fermenter jar at 55 ºC, 250 rpm and 2.5 vvm aeration for 60 h. The demineralization was done in the same size fermenter at 30 ºC and 50 rpm agitation for 48 h. The experimental results showed that demineralization followed by the deproteination process resulted in a better chitin yield than when the process was conducted in the opposite order. The first process reduced 47.37% protein and 50.23% ash, whereas the second process reduced 79.61% protein and 88.65% ash

Abstract

Bacterial intercellular communication or quorum sensing controls the pathogenesis of many medically important organisms. Therefore, it is important to isolate bacteria that can disintegrate the communication, in a process called quorum quenching. Bacteria from ant lion (Myrmeleon sp.) were grown on Luria agar, and approximately 1.85 x 109 CFU mL-1 was obtained. Eleven morphologically different colonies were screened for quorum quenching activity using wild type Chromobacterium violaceum as an indicator. Two isolates (Myr7 and MyrB) were found to possess quorum quenching activity. Isolates with quorum quenching activity were later identified employing 16S rRNA. Both isolates were similar to bacteria in the genus Aeromonas

Abstract

Early diagnosis of dengue virus (DENV) infection is affirmative for patient management and control of the disease. Detection of nonstructural-1 (NS1) antigen has been proven to provide early detection of DENV infection. Commercial NS1 antigen assays are available in Indonesia with variable sensitivity. In an attempt to develop an NS1-based diagnostic test, we successfully cloned NS1 gene of DENV2 to a glutathione Stransferase- based vector pGEX6P-1 in Escherichia coli system. The recombinant protein (pG2NS12) was expressed in E. coli BL21. After induction with isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside 0.1 mM for 4 h at 25 °C a recombinant protein GST-NS1 with molecular size of approximately 75 kDa was  obtained. The fusion protein was insoluble and found in the pellet fraction of the cell lysate. Addition of lysozyme (10 mg mL-1) and DNase-I (7.2 mg mL-1) in the lysis buffer was necessary to collect proteins from the pellet fraction. The proteins in the cell pellet were fractionated through Sephadex-G100 column, and GST-NS1 was further purified with Glutathione-Sepharose 4B beads. To obtain pure recombinant NS1 protein to be used in the immunization of mice, the fusion protein was cut with PreScission Protease® by addition of 0.075% Triton-X 100 was necessary to cut the fusion protein. We found that antibodies that recognized the recombinant NS1 protein and DENV2 virus were produced in mice immunized with purified NS1 protein. Therefore, our recombinant NS1 could be used to produce antibody that is potentially useful for developing diagnostic assay to determine the presence of dengue virus NS1 antigen in patient sera.

Abstract

The pathogenesis of dengue virus infection is still being debated.  Based on the existing data, there is a strong evidence that the immunopathological mechanism plays a role in dengue virus infection with various complications.  Some unknown immune responses play a role in the pathogenesis of dengue virus infection. Researchers are trying to establish the role of several inflammatory mediators such as PLA2, IL-1, TNF-, PGE2, PGI2, Thromboxane A2, Leucotrien and MPTP, in relation to the severity degree of the dengue virus infection.  The aim of this study is to recognize the relation between the severity degrees of DHF (Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever) patients and the immunological profile in the sub-cellular level, such as PLA2, IL-1, TNF-, PGE2 and PLA 2.  The collected data was processed and presented analytically. The relation between each parameter (TNFα, SPLA2, PGE2,IL-1β) and the degree of DHF was analyzes, using Spearman's correlation analysis, ordinal regression, and using ANOVA.  It was shown that there was no relation between the levels of TNF-ά, PGE2, IL-1β, and SPLA2  in patients with various degrees of DHF, but there were significant differences between DHF grade 1 and 3, and also 2 and 3, on IL-1β.  There were increased levels of the four parameters in dengue grade 1 to 2, but decreased levels in grade 3. This can be caused by inflammatory processes, but the severity degree of DHF can also be influenced by complement, thromboxane, and leukotrien.

Abstract

The avian influenza A H5N1 outbreaks started in 2003 and Indonesia introduced a vaccination campaign in 2004 to control the disease. In 2007, anecdotal reports about reduced vaccine effectiveness were received from commercial farmers. This paper describes the evolution of viruses in Indonesia up till 2008 and focus on viruses from vaccinating farms reporting vaccine failure were compared to viruses isolated from outbreak areas with no vaccination program. Result of the study revealed that viruses from vaccinated chickens had more extensive mutation at the HA molecule compared to chicken and other avian species without vaccination. Substitutions occurred at the HA gene level as well as at NA, M1 and NS1 genes. Viruses isolated and characterized form 2008 vaccinated flocks had substitutions that were unique and different with the old viruses. The recommendation arising from this study to the avian influenza disease control program in Indonesia is that continuous monitoring of genetic character of viruses and the vaccine seed strain should be updated periodically and matched with the virus circulated in the field.

Abstract

Determination of bioactivity by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) methods and molecular structure identification of antibiotic produced by Streptomyces sp. have been carried out. The antibiotic was produced by liquid culture using Streptomyces sp. isolate. Purification of antibiotic was carried out by silica gel column chromatography and preparative HPLC. Molecular structure identification was carried out using ESI-MS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and 13C DEPT NMR. Pure antibiotic showed inhibition activity to Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. MIC to Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853 , Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923, and Bacillus subtilis ATCC66923 were 27.0, 68.7, 80.2, and 73.7 μg mL-1 , respectively. Identification using ESI-MS showed that the molecular weight of this antibiotic was 260 g mol-1 , and molecular formula was C14H16N2O3 . Elucidation of molecular structure using 1HNMR, 13C NMR, and 13C DEPT NMRshowed that antibiotic was cyclo(tyrosyl-prolyl).

Abstract

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) has therapeutic importance because of its antioxidant activity and protects cells from reactive oxygen species attack. This research was intended to screen bacteria isolated from Indonesia for producing novel SODs and to identify the producers using 16S rDNA approach. Intracellular proteins were each extracted and assayed for their inhibition reduction activity by colorimetric method and by zymography for the presence of SOD protein band(s). For species identification, each of 16S rDNAgenes was amplified by polymerase chain reaction from genomicDNAfollowed by sequencing, BLAST, multiple alignment and phylogenetic analyses. All 16 intracellular proteins gave inhibition reduction percentage in the range of 15 to 70% and in zymography, their SOD profiles were quite diversed with at least one intenseSOD band present in most isolates. The SOD producers were assigned to three species, Flavobacterium okeanokoites, Escherichia fergunosii, and E. coli, and to four genera, Pantoea, Escherichia,  Bacillus, and Pectobacterium. The remaining five were grouped in gamma-proteobacterium cluster and two formed a cluster with Pseudomonas. Three marine and four soil isolates could be attractive candidates for novel SODs based on unique properties of SOD producers. In conclusion, 16s rDNA-based identification of bacteria isolated from Indonesia reveals that seven isolates might be attractive candidates for novel SOD producers to be applied in pharmaceutical fields in the future.

Abstract

Nonhuman primates (NHPs) play as indispensable animal model in biomedical research for studying a variety of human health issues, diseases and disorders, therapies, and preventive strategies. Since the immunological and physiological responses of NHPs, at some extent, to experimental viral infections are similar to humans, it is possible that studies of dengue infection in NHPs may aid understanding of dengue infection in humans. In this study,we used pigtailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) as the experimental animal to study dengue-3 (DEN-3) virus infection.We evaluated DEN-3 viral distribution and replication sites after a primary infection in all collected tissues. Sequential localization in tissue of DEN-3 virus was studied in pigtailed macaques euthanized three days post viral inoculation (10 pfu mL ). Pigtailed macaque that was inoculated subcutaneously or intravenously; showed the highest viremia (62.94 pfu mL and 58.62 pfu mL ) detected by one step reverse transcription real time PCR. The virus inoculated in pigtailed macaques by subcutaneous injection was rapidly disseminated from the inoculation site to the lymph nodes, adrenal glands, kidneys, heart, thyroid, liver, prostate gland, and seminal vesicles. Meanwhile, dissemination of dengue virus in pigtailed macaques inoculated intravenously was detected in lymph nodes, thymus, salivary glands, liver, and prostate gland. This study suggested that the above mentioned-tissue specimens are involved or affected by DEN-3 virus replication and the route of infection seemed to have influenced the virus dissemination.

Abstract

The potential of methane and nitrous oxide productions and community structure of methanogenic archaeahas been characterized by incubation studies and PCR-DGGE approaches, respectively. The results showed thataddition of straw into the soil was the most important factor that influenced CH4 production in this incubation 4 experiment, while N2O production was observed higher in soil without straw amendment under saturated 2 condition. Most of the clone sequences revealed from DGGE band was associated with a archaea lineage,Methanocellales ord. nov (Rice Cluster I). Other sequences belong to Methanomicrobiales, Methanosaetalesand Rice Cluster 2 (RC-2). The study also showed that the hydrogenotrophic methanogens were the dominant members in methanogenic archaea community obtained from tropical paddy field soil, while acetoclastic methanogens present in relatively minor quantity in the soil.

Abstract

Streptococcus mutans is considered to play a major etiological role in development of human dental plaque believed to related to dental caries, the most prevalent disease of the human oral cavity.  The objectives of the present study were to formulate and produce propolis supplemented-chewing candy and to investigate its antibacterial activity against S. mutans.  Propolis is a natural resinous bee-hive product thought to have antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and immunostimulating activities.  Propolis was extracted from hives of bees of Trigona spp. using ethanol.   The extract was coated with maltodextrine and homogenized to generate propolis microparticles.  The particles were introduced into chewing candy preparations for the production of propolis supplemented-chewing candy.  The candy was then subjected to  in vitro antibacterial assays to test its activity against S. mutans isolated from human dental plaque.  Results showed that the ethanol extracted propolis of Trigona spp. bee-hives can be homogenized to form propolis microparticles.  The propolis microparticles could be used as a supplement in the formulation of chewing candy preparations.  The propolis supplemented-chewing candy showed antibacterial activity against S.  mutans. The candy, therefore, has the potential to be used as an antiplaque agent for prevention of dental caries.
