Abstract

Some organic acids derived from lignin degradation in peat soil have significant role in lowering pH of peat soil and have phytotoxic effect for plant. A series of experiments has been conducted to decrease the amount of organic acids in peat soil by microbial treatment. The aim of the study was to characterize the growth of selected fungi using organic acids extracted from peat soil as a sole carbon source.The fungus strain MGS-2 was grown in a liquid medium containing various concentrations of organic acids extracted from peat soil, nitrogen and salt at initial pH of 3.8. The cell growth, pH of medium and the content of organic acids were analyzed. The identification of fungus MGS-2 was based on the 28S rDNA.The ability of Hypocrea sp. to degrade toxic organic acid derived from peat soil has never been reported. The organic acid and nitrogen optimum for the growth were 33.1 mN-NaOH and 2 g NH2SO4 per liter medium, respectively. The interaction between carbon and nitrogen source was found to be significantly influenced by the increment of pH medium, however this interaction did not effect to the cell growth and reduction of organic acids. The carbon source affected significantly to the cell growth and acid metabolism by fungus strain MGS-2 The fungus could not grow well in the medium without yeast exract, but grew well in the limitation of NH2SO4 , suggested that yeast extract was metabolized as nitrogen source. The optimum degradation of organic acids extracted from peat soil by MGS-2 was obtained at pH 3.8. Theseresult suggested that the cell mass production of MGS-2 can be performed in optimal defined medium utilizing organic acid derived from peat soil. Molecular identification revealed that the MGS-2 was closed to Hypocrea sp.

Abstract

L-asparaginase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of L-asparagine into L-aspartic acid and ammonia. In medical aspect, L-asparaginase especially those came from E. coli and Erwinia chrysanthemi used as chemotherapy agent of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, new potential organisms possessing L-asparaginase production capacity with a similar therapeutic effect are still required . In Bacillus subtilis strain 168, there are two kinds of L-asparaginase gene, AnsA and AnsZ. The study of the later L-asparaginase (AnsZ) has not been conducted intensively. The aim of this study is, first, to isolate this gene of L-asparaginase (AnsZ) from local Bacillus sp. and then to express this gene in Escherichia coli. Using PCR-cloning method, an open reading frame (ORF) containing 1128 bp was obtained. The ORF has 99% homology with sequence of L-asparaginase from Bacillus subtilis Bsn5. The gene then was subcloned into pET 21d (+) with his6-tag in the C-terminal of the gene product and expressed in E.coli BL21. L-asparaginase activity analyses showed that recombinant E. coli containing recombinant plasmid with open reading frame (ORF) L-asparaginase (AnsZ) from Bacillus subtilis had higher activity than that is not containing ORF L-asparaginase (AnsZ). Purification with HisPur TM Ni-NTA Purification Kit increased the specific activity of L-asparaginase (AnsZ) enzyme to 29 fold.

Abstract

In the microbial world, pigments are one of the most conspicuous traits. Marine bacteria associated with Acropora sp. collected from Taka Cemara, Karimunjawa Islands were screened for the production of a yellow pigment. The isolation of bacterial symbionts from Acropora sp. on Zobell 2216E medium resulted in one bacterium, KJ5, positively synthesized carotenoids. By reverse phase HPLC analysis, one peak of the pigment types was identified as a β-carotene peak which appeared at 60.24 min. Then, sample of the β-carotene was collected and identified according to their spectral characteristics and compared with the published data in different types of solvent. Based on the HPLC analysis, the total β-carotene contents were calculated by converting the broad absorption of β-carotene. Molecular identification of the bacterium KJ5 using 16S rDNA showed that bacterium KJ5 was closely related to Erythrobacter flavus with 96% homology value.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of micro-encapsulated synbiotic application at different frequencies for luminous disease control in white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). The luminous disease is caused by Vibrio harveyi. In this experiment, a synbiotic which was a combination of the probiotic Bacillus sp. NP5 RfR and the oligosaccharides from sweet potato (Ipomea batatas L.) jago variety was apllied. The synbiotic was encapsulated by spray drying method. The in vivo experiment was conducted by supplementing the shrimp’s diet with the micro-encapsulated synbiotic for 40 days. Treatments included the administration micro-encapsulated synbiotic in different frequencies i.e. once a week (A), twice a week (B), daily (C), and without micro-encapsulated synbiotic (control treatment). The control treatment consisted of positive (K+) and negative (K-) controls. After 30 days period, all of the shrimp were challenged by intramuscular injection of pathogenic V. harveyi RfR at a concentration of 106 CFU ml-1 except the negative control. The treatment C resulted in significantly higher survival rate (SR), specific growth rate (SGR), and immune responses than those of the controls, whereas the feed conversion ratio (FCR) was lower than the controls. In addition, the population of Bacillus sp. NP5 RfR and total bacterial count (TBC) in the intestines increased, whereas the population of V. harveyi RfR and the total vibrio count (TVC) were lower compared to the controls.

Abstract

Microbial resistance to antibiotic is a major problem in the treatment of infectious diseases. The purpose ofthis study was to identification the role of CAT enzyme for early detection of chloramphenicol resistant. Observation was performed on isolated from Dr. Sutomo Hospital, Surabaya Health Laboratory, and Microbiology Laboratory-Airlangga University, Surabaya in 2009 and had been subcultured.The sub-culture was then tested for its susceptibility to chloramphenicol by using anti-chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) antibody from Sigma (catalog number C.9336). Susceptibility test using dilution and diffusion methods proved that resistant could change to sensitive and vice versa. It seems that the CAT enzyme can bind anti-CAT so reversing the resistant into sensitive and conversely, sensitive into resistant one.
