Abstract

Most cases of bacterial resistance towards antibiotics, encourage various efforts to gain new sources of antibiotics. Endophyte bacteria is a microorganism has important role as the producer of bioactive compounds. Endophyte bacteria from Curcuma longa with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities have not been studied yet. Curcuma longa has been utilized as the main ingredients of traditional herbal medicines (jamu). The objective of this research was to investigate the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of endophyte bacteria associated with Curcuma longa rhizome. Based on morphological characteristics of bacterial colonies, eight endophyte bacteria was isolated from Curcuma longa rhizome. Screening of endophyte isolate has antimicrobial activity was done using agar well diffusion method. The culture supernatant of each endophyte isolate was dropped on agar well against pathogenic bacteria Salmonella enterica ser. Typhi, Staphylococcus aureus and yeast Candida albicans. Three endophyte isolates K3, K2 and M1b showed antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria and yeast. Isolate K3 showed strong antimicrobial activity against C. albicans and S. aureus, however, isolate K2 and isolate M1b showed antimicrobial activity against Salmonella enterica ser. Typhi and S. aureus, respectively. Those endophyte bacteria also had antioxidant activity shown by scavenging ability toward DPPH radical with consecutive percentage of isolate K3 (72.3 %), K2 (51.3 %) and M1b (64.6 %). Isolate K3 showed the highest antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. Based on biochemical characteristics using Microbact 24E kit, isolate K3 was identified as Paenibacilus alvei and isolate K2 as Enterobacter agglomerans. Keywords: antimicrobial, antioxidant, Curcuma longa's rhizome, endophyte bacteria.

Abstract

White-lipped island pit viper (Cryptelytrops insularis) is one of the most distributed Viperidae in Indonesia, especially in eastern part of Sundaland and Lesser Sunda. To investigate the evolutionary history and the dispersal pattern of C. insularis, we collected 23 samples from 11 localities. Four simultaneous genes composing two mitochondrial genes (16S rRNA & ND4) and two nuclear genes (7IβFIB & 3ITBP) have been successfully amplified and sequenced. Bayesian inference was performed to reconstruct the phylogeny tree. Furthermore, time divergence and the population demography analyses were estimated. The phylogeny tree of C. insularis exhibits monophyletic group, with four geographically structured lineages. The time divergence estimation indicated that C. insularis evolved at approximately 7 million years ago (mya). Population demography was inferred by Bayesian Skyline Plot analysis, it shows that the population increased constantly from the past to recent time. The evolutionary history of C. insularis can be explained by a pattern of the time divergences estimation that indicating movement from West (Java) to East (Lesser Sunda). We expected that the dispersal factor of C. insularis into many different islands (in Lesser Sunda) is caused by the animal helped and also oceanic rafting which could be the stepping stones to another island.  Keywords: Cryptelytrops insularis, dispersal patterns, phylogeny, population demography, time divergence

Abstract

This study was therefore aimed to determine the effect of different concentration of estrogen hormone, 17β-estradiol (E2) on feminization for the production of all female, growth rate and survival rate of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) postlarvae (PL). L. vannamei PL1 were stocked randomly at a density of 10 ind.L-1 into a 10 L of seawater for each experimental flask with three replicates each. PL1 was immersed in seawater containing 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg.L-1 estrogen hormone, E2 for 4 hours. The experiment was continued for 30 days for larval rearing. At the termination of experiment, the specimens in each treatment groups were weighed and measured individually for their wet body weight (BW) and total length (TL) for the mean weight gain, length gain, and the specific growth rate (SGR) estimation. The mean sex ratio values of male to female postlarvae obtained from control till the highest E2 hormone concentration of 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg.L-1 were 1:1, 1:2, 1:9 and 0:1 respectively. The weight gain and length gain were 40605% and 606% for control, 46310% and 647% for 0.5 mg.L-1 concentration, 49310% and 663% for 1.0 mg.L-1 concentration and 45048% and 628% for 1.5 mg.L-1. The mean SGR BW and SGR TL for control till the highest E2 hormone concentration of 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg.L-1 were 20.00 and 6.51, 20.46 and 6.70, 20.67 and 6.77 and 20.37 and 6.62 respectively. The mean survival rate for E2 hormone concentration of 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg.L-1 were 52.67%, 54.33%, 54.67% and 52.33% respectively. The study shows that while the concentration of E2 hormone increased, the female sex ratio of L. vannamei PL also increased but the growth rate and survival rate decreased at concentration of 1.5 mg.L-1. Thus the optimum concentration of this hormone usage was 1.0 mg.L-1 immersed for 4 hours. Keywords: 17β-estradiol, feminization, growth rate, Litopenaeus vannamei, postlarvae, survival rate.

Abstract

In general, the process of naming several species of fish including species from the genus Mystacoleucus is still carried out based on morphological characters, which are often found in almost the same morphological characters in different fish species. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a more accurate identification method, which is a DNA-based identification method called DNA barcoding. The purpose of this study was to identify the species of the genus Mystacoleucus on the Sengguruh Dam molecularly based on the Cytochrome Oxidase C Subunit I (COI) gene. A caudal fin was taken on the test fish and preserved in 95% ethanol solution for molecular identification. The results of the identification showed that the sample belonged to the Mystacoleucus marginatus species with Identity values between 99-100% and E-value 0.0. The data obtained showed that from the calculation of genetic distance presented in the form of data matrix and phylogenetic tree reconstruction, there were 2 species that had a far genetic distance from the M. marginatus sample from the Sengguruh Dam namely M. atridorsalis with the furthest genetic distance of 0.1932-0.2595 and M. lepturus with genetic distance between 0.1117-0.1193. However, there are one species that has the closest distance, M. padangensis with genetic distance between 0.0019-0.0038 and identity values up to 99%.Keywords: DNA barcode, Molecular identification, Mystacoleucus, Phylogenetic COI.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is one of the common metabolic disorders with increasing prevalence during recent years with hyperglycemia as its characteristic. DM has been shown to be a state of free radicals over production resulted from hyperglycemia that can activate cellular signaling pathways transcription of factor NF-κB which stimulates the production of several inflammatory mediators andl lead to chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is implicated in β-cell damage and function and promotes apoptosis. EMSA Eritin is a polyherbal consisting of soy bean extracts, coconut water extract and red rice extract that assumed to be antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory. This study will assess the effectiveness of EMSA Eritin against inflammation in diabetes mellitus by measuring levels of NF-κB produced by immunocompetent cells in DM mice model. Streptozotocin 100 mg.kg-1 BW is used to induce diabetes mellitus in mice. Oral administration of EMSA Eritin was given for 14 days with dose of 0.3125 mg.g-1 BW, 3.125 mg.g-1 BW and 31.25 mg.g-1 BW. Data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA (p<0.05) and Duncan test using SPSS 16.0 for Windows. The results showed that EMSA Eritin can be used as an alternative therapy for the treatment of DM. The level of NF-κB in diabetic mice significantly decreased when the mice received EMSA Eritin. Keywords: Diabetes Mellitus, EMSA Eritin, NF-κB, ROS

Abstract

This article discussed a dynamical analysis on a model of predator-prey Leslie-Gower with omnivores which is modified by Lotka-Volterra model with omnivore. The dynamical analysis is done by determining the equilibrium point with its existing condition and analyzing the local stability of the equilibrium point. Based on the analysis, there are seven points of equilibrium. Three of them always exist while the four others exist under certain conditions. Four points of equilibrium, namely and are unstable, while the others three equilibrium point are local asymptotically stable under certain conditions. Moreover, it's also conducted numerical simulations to illustrate the analytical. The results of numerical simulations agree with the results of the dynamical analysis. Keywords: local stability, omnivore, predator-prey models, the equilibrium point
