Abstract

Composition and abundance of culturable bacteria of four soil samples (Ktr50II, D50II, G50II, and A50II) were analyzed. The soil samples were collected from maize rhizosphere that planted in dryland Lombok Island. Each soil sample give different growth performance of maize in greenhouse experiment. This study was to investigate the relation of maize growth performance with culturable bacterial community of their rhizosphere and the effect of culture media on number of bacterial isolates recovery. The rhizosphere bacteria were cultured and isolated on commercial media (SEA) and non commercial modification media (NAln, NAln-SE and NAln- RE). Thirty four strains rhizosphere bacteria were obtained from four maize rhizophere soil samples. D50II is the soil sample that caused the better growth performance to the maize, contrary to Ktr50II. D50II has significantly highest number of culturable bacterial types, while significantly lowest on Ktr50II. In D50II, at least 17 bacterial isolates contributed to better growth performance in maize and have relative abundance of dominant isolate not more than 35.34%. In comparing the rhizosphere bacteria recovered using different culture media, bacteria cultivated on SEA have different growth characteristic compared with bacteria cultivated on NAln, NAln SE and NAln-RE. Six bacterial isolates showed antagonistic ability when grew on SEA but not in all of three media. Compared with commercial media, non commercial modification media can increase total isolates recovery about 70.6%.

Abstract

Bacillus cereus SS28 isolated from budu, a fermented fish product from West Sumatra, produced antimicrobial compound that had broad spectrum of inhibition against five microorganisms (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella thypi, Bacillus subtilis, and Listeria monocytogenes). The aims of this research are characterization of Bacillus cereus SS28 antimicrobial activity and observation of its effect to the cellular morphology of Staphylococcus aureus with electron microscope. Antimicrobial compound produced by Bacillus cereus SS28 was stable at pH range between 2 and 11 and to heating at 121 °C for 15 min. Maximum antimicrobial activity was expressed at pH 2-3 and 70 °C for 45 min. The activity remained after 15 min exposure to UV light. The main changes observed under SEM and TEM were the alteration of Staphylococcus aureus structural cell membrane 48 h after exposure to the antimicrobial compound from Bacillus cereus SS28.

Abstract

Gathotan is fungal fermented cassava, and a raw material for a Javanese snack called ‘gathot’. This type of food is now hardly to find, and the process of making gathotan is relatively lack of process control, leads to failure in process. To make gathotan, peeled cassava tubers are left on the ground or roof for several weeks or months until they become black inside an important characteristic of gathotan. This work aims to improve gathotan fermentation by optimizing fermentation process. The effect of incubation temperature and time, inoculum level, soaking time, and drying, on the growth of Lasiodiplodia theobromae, the main gathotan fungus, in cassava tubers was studied. Experimental design was set up according to response surface methodology. Five parameters measured were pH, titratable acidity, and fungal growth. Results showed that incubation temperature affected pH in linear (P<0.01) and quadratic functions (P<0.05). Titratable acidity was not affected by any treatment. Fungal growth was significantly affected by incubation time (P<0.01) or inoculum level (P<0.05), and interaction of several factors: incubation time and incubation temperature (P<0.05) or drying time (P<0.01). Optimization model indicated that incubation temperature at 34.5°C for 2.4 days, soaking for 26.4 hours, drying time of 3.7 hours at 40°C, and inoculum level of 2% resulted in maximum growth of L. theobromae in gathotan.

Abstract

This study aimed to produce microencapsulated probiotic and determine its optimal dose to control streptococcosis in tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The probiotic used in this study was Bacillus sp. NP5 RfR that was encapsulated by sterile 10% maltodextrin solution and dried by spray dryer. The experimental fish were reared 28 days and fed by the administration of microencapsulated probiotic in feed with different doses (0,5% (A), 1% (B), and 2% (C)) which were 1010 CFU g-1 as the concentration and control without administration of microencapsulated probiotic, including negative (K-) and positive (K+) control. On day 30, all of the fish except K- were challenged by injecting 0.1 mL/fish  of Streptococcus agalactiae (105 CFU ml-1) by intra-peritoneal (IP) route. This study showed that administration of 0.5% microencapsulated probiotic was effective to control streptococcosis in tilapia with higher post-challenge survival rate, better hematological parameter values, and could inhibit S. agalactiae growth in the host target organs.

This problem can be overcome by utilize plastic degrading-bacteria as degradation agent. The present study aims to isolate and characterize of oxo-degradable polyethylene degrading-bacteria from Benowo landfill soil Surabaya. Isolation and screening was done by the culture technique and clear zone method. Total abundance of bacteria was calculated based on the Total Plate Count method. Bacterial colonies screening was done based on morphological characteristics and the diameter of clear zone. Four isolates with the largest diameter of clear zone were futher characterized based on cell morphology and physiology biochemistry characters. The results showed the average of total abundance of oxo-degradable polyethylene degrading-bacteria of Benowo landfill was 1.28 x 104 CFU g-1. The four of twelve isolates with the largest diameter of clear zone was indicated the highest degradation capability, that were isolates A221 (0.7 cm), A231 (1 cm), A232 (0.6 cm), and C231 (1.3 cm). Colony morphology characteristics of four isolates were generally shape of circular and irregular; margin of entire and lobate; elevation of flat; optics of opaque; and pigmentation of yellow, greenish and cream. These four isolates were Gram negative with the shape bacilli and cell size range of 3-4 μm. Physiological and biochemical characteristics among the four isolates were resistant to acidic conditions; non-motile; produce catalase enzyme except A231; capable to reduce glucose and mannitol; uncapable to reduce lactose; capable to produce acids, except A232; produce of 2.3-butanediol; unable reduce sodium malonate; and capable to reduce nitrate, except A232 and C231; as well as producing hydrogen sulfide except A221 and A232. The four isolates has similar properties with the genus Mycobacterium.

Abstract

Endophytic actinomycetes associated with medicinal plants is very important as source of various bioactive compounds. The fact that more than 99% of microbes that exist in nature may have the potency but still unexplored. Published data regarding diversity of endophytic actinomycetes from T. crispa is mainly based on a culturable approach. This paper describes the first reported data regarding metagenomic analysis on the diversity of endophytic actinomycetes from T.crispa based on 16S rRNA gene using PCR-DGGE. There were some similarities amongst endophytic actinomycetes found in stems, roots, and leaves with soil actinomycetes community in the rhizosphere of T. crispa. There were a total of 21 bands found from the DGGE analysis which were interpreted using Phoretix 1D software. Diversity of actinomycetes in the stems, leaves, roots were represented by 17, 16, and 14 bands, respectively. Whereas only 10 bands represented diversity of actinomycetes in the soil rhizosphere. The 12 dominant and or different bands with 180 bp in size were molecularly sequenced. The A4 and A9 bands have 95% and 86% similarities with Williamsia and Streptomyces, respectively. These similarities were less than 97% thus may indicate novel actinomycetes. The other 10 sequenced bands have closed similarity ranging from 97-100% and they were closely related to the genus Streptomyces, Microbacterium, Amycolatopsis, Actinomadura, Actinoplanes, Actinokineospora, Kibdelosporangium, Williamsia and Kocuria. These findings indicate that diversity of actinomycetes can be found associated with T. crispa.

Abstract

Antibiotics are organic compounds produced by various microorganisms and have the ability to inhibit the growth or kill other microorganisms. However, the irrational application of antibiotics lead to resistance of microorganisms so that they become ineffective. The objectives of this study were to isolate and characterize new antibiotics from Indonesian coastal marine bacteria. In this study, a total of 141 isolates consisting of seven Streptomyces sp. isolates and 134 isolates of other marine bacteria, were obtained from Indonesian coastal regions. Based on antimicrobial activity assay, four Streptomyces sp. and five marine bacteria isolates showed antimicrobial activity towards Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus with the diameter of inhibition of 3-12 mm. Further, antimicrobial compounds were produced successfully extracted with six organic solvents, such as 1-butanol, dichloromethane, n-hexane, chloroform, and toluene. The best solvent to extract antimicrobial compounds from Streptomyces sp. isolates was 1-butanol, while the best solvent to extract antimicrobial compounds from other marine bacteria isolates could not be specified. Antimicrobial compounds were successfully separated by thin layer chromatography with mobile phase used were 1-butanol, acetic acid, and water at a ratio of 4:1:2 and retention values obtained at 0.50 and 0.63.

Abstract

Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 52 is the most prevalent type for causing cervical cancer in Indonesian population. Cervical cancer becomes the most common cancer suffered by Indonesian women. Prevention of HPV infection can be achieved using HPV virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine derived from L1 major capsid protein.  This study aimed to clone and analyze HPV-52 L1 gene. DNA obtained from biopsy of a cervical cancer patient was amplified using specific primers designed from Asian originated HPV-52 L1 gene available in the GenBank. The isolated HPV-52 L1 gene sequence was submitted to GenBank with accession number [KF225497]. Expression of HPV-52 L1 gene was performed using pRSET/EmGFPEscherichia coli expression vector. We analyzed and compared the HPV-52 L1 gene expressions from recombinant E.coli BL21 (DE3) that had been induced for 3 hours with 1 mM IPTG and without induction. The protein was expressed in insoluble form. We performed the following bioinformatic analyses: construction of phlyogenetic tree, T-cell epitopes prediction and 3D proteins structure modelling. We utilized the following softwares: MEGA5 for phylogenetic tree, IEDBann for MHC prediction, CLC DNA Workbench 6.5 for hydrophobicity analysis and PDB-Viewer Deep for 3D protein structure analysis. The phylogenetic tree which was developed based on [KF225497] sequence showed that it shared a branch with Asian countries (Philippines and Thailand). The deduced amino acid sequences of the predicted epitopes that were consistent in all of the programs were 259GTLGDPVPGDLYIQGS274 and 345KKESTYKNE353. This information may be useful to design diagnostic strategies and vaccine suitable for Indonesian population.

Abstract

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is the bacterial causative agent of leaf blight in rice (Oryza sativa L.), the most serious bacterial disease of rice in many rice growing areas worldwide. This study aimed to identify and characterize several virulence factors of seven Xoo isolates from Yogyakarta, West Java, and West Sumatera. The identification of Xoo using 16S rRNA confirmed high homology to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae PXO99A and revealed three groups. The first group was Xoo93229, the second group containing Xoo1110, Xoo1122, Xoo1130, Xoo7624 and Xoo8024 as the same cluster with PXO99A and the third group was KACC10331 and MAFF311018. The amounts of exopolysaccharide (EPS) and cellulase produced were varying depending on the Xoo isolates. The EPS were produced more by isolate Xoo1130, Xoo1122 and Xoo8024. All tested isolates revealed similar cellulase activity except for isolate Xoo8024. The pathogenicity assay among the Xoo isolate showed that all tested isolates were virulent except Xoo7624. The in planta assay revealed that the tested isolates have multiplied and continued increasing the population size except for Xoo1110 and Xoo7624. High yield of EPS, cellulase activity, more virulence, and increasing population size revealed from isolate Xoo1130 and Xoo1122.

Abstract

Tuberculosis still becomesa major health problem in the world. This infectious disease is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Novel anti-tubercular drug is urgently needed to counter multidrug resistant cases and Mtb's spread. The cytoplasmic domain of PhoR histidine kinase, a part of the two-component system PhoR-PhoP in Mtb, is one of the potential candidates for anti-tubercular drug target.Three dimensional protein of drug target is needed to screen potential drug candidate using rational drug design approaches. Previous studies have successfully characterized and isolated putative cytoplasmic domain of PhoR (CytoPhoR) from Mtb strain H37Rv. This study aimed to clone, overexpress and purify of CytoPhoR protein. CytoPhoR was fused with thioredoxin protein in expression vector pET32b and overexpressed in Escherichia coli (E.coli)BL21 (DE3) as soluble fraction by induction  1 mM IPTG. Purification of his-tagged CytoPhoR was carried out using IMAC Ni-NTA Agarose his-tag affinity column. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that another protein was co-purified (~35 kDa) along with the CytoPhoR protein. Subsequent protein purification using DEAE-ion exchange column generate a strong single band of 37 kDa on SDS–PAGE which is indicated as CytoPhoR protein. The purified CytoPhoR protein was successfully obtained and can be used for further analysis on determining three dimensional structure of CytoPhoR protein.
