Abstract

Chitinase is an important enzyme in various biotechnology applications, especially in biological control, so it requires increased induction efficiency. This study aims to determine the growth media factors that most influence the production of chitinase enzymes by the endophytic fungus Fusarium solani using the 2-Level Fractional method. Eight media variables are estimated to have an effect, namely the content of chitin colloid, ammonium sulfate, potassium sodium tartrate, KH2PO4, Na2HPO4, MgSO4·7H2O, CaCl2, and pH. Chitinase activity was evaluated using the DNS technique after four days of liquid fermentation and analyzed using the design express DX6 4.1 application. The results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the second-order polynomial regression model was very significant (p <0.0001), with an R² value of 0.9515, which indicates that the model explains 95.15% of the data variation. Based on the screening results, it was found that ammonium sulfate, Na2HPO4, and MgSO4 7H2 were the most effective in increasing chitinase production. Optimization of media conditions resulted in an increase in chitinase activity of up to 18 U/mL. This research has the potential to be used as a basis for developing industrial-scale bioprocesses for the formulation of chitinase-based biopesticides and biopharmaceutical products.

Abstract

Asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy carries significant risks to maternal and fetal health. Untreated cases can progress to symptomatic urinary tract infections, prematurity, low birth weight, and fetal death. Data on the prevalence and types of bacteria causing asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women, especially in Makassar, are still very limited. This study aims to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria and the types of bacteria causing it in pregnant women at the Antang Community Health Center in Makassar. This study is a quantitative descriptive study, using microbiological examination methods through urine dipstick testing, urine culture, and identification. The subjects were 58 pregnant women without symptoms of urinary tract infections who underwent pregnancy checkups at the Antang Community Health Center in Makassar. The sample used was a mid-stream urine specimen. Based on the demographic characteristics of pregnant women in their first, second, and third trimesters at the Antang Health Center in Makassar City, it shows that the majority of respondents are young pregnant women in the final stages of pregnancy (third trimester). Based on the results of the dipstick examination, it shows that the majority of respondents do not have an increase in leukocytes, which indicates a low possibility of urinary tract infections among pregnant women in their first, second, and third trimesters at the Antang Health Center in Makassar City. The results of urine culture showed that 2 samples with positive dipstick results for leukocyte esterase and nitrite parameters had bacterial colonies of >100,000 CFU/mL. The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women in their first, second, and third trimesters at the Antang Health Center in Makassar City in this study was 3.45%. The types of bacteria that cause it are Escherishia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
