Abstract

In order to achieve efficient lactic acid production from starch, fermentation of avarious composition starch medium by lactic acid bacteriawas examined in this study. Many strains of Lactobacillus plantarum isolated from growol fermentation, Lactobacillus plantarumsubsp. plantarum NBRC 15891 and Lactobacillus amylophyllus NBRC 15881 were used as starter cultures in starch basis medium, i.e, basal, basal-starch, enriched basal-starch with polypeptone and yeast extract. Lactobacillus plantarum UA3, AA2, AA11 showed the highest cells growth compare to both reference strains, but Lactobacillus amylophyllus NBRC 15881 showed a greater ability to degrade starch indicated by decreasing of pH and starch content of the fermented substrate. Enriched medium with peptone and yeast extract could generate the growth and starch degradation capabilities for all types of lactic acid bacteria were used.

Abstract

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a cardiac emergency condition that requires fast and precise action while a pre-hospital delay in a patient to come to the ED is still common. This pre-hospital delay is related to the socioeconomic and knowledge factor. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship of socioeconomic and knowledge with the pre-hospital delay of ACS patients to come to Integrated Heart Service in Emergency Department of Sanglah General Hospital, Denpasar. This research is a quantitative research with cross-sectional design and purposive sampling as data collection technique with 292 patients. The results showed that 55.8% of patients have low socioeconomic status and there are 71.6% of patients who do not know ACS. The pre-hospital delay, in this case, is associated with low socioeconomic status and knowledge of ACS so that health workers need to provide counseling to patients and families about ACS signs and symptoms, healthy lifestyles, and the importance of coming to theemergency department when signs of ACS are felt.

Abstract

Paciran is one of the regions in East Java with great fisheries potential.  Yellow Stripe Trevally is well known for its abundance in waters and categorized as high economic value within fisheries commodity. The abundance of yellow stripe trevally highly depends on food availability within its living habitat. The aim of this study was to analyze yellow stripe trevally food composition and its relationship with plankton abundance. The result of this study shows that phytoplankton abundance (21,600x103cell/m3) was found higher than zooplankton abundance (9.093x103ind/m3). The highest abundance of phytoplankton was found in Bacillariophycae (21,552x103 cell/m3) and the lowest was found in Coscinodiscophyceae (48.197x103 cell/m3). Between two classes of zooplankton found in this study, the abundance of Maxillopoda class (8.184x103ind/m3) was found higher than Oligotriceae class (0.909x103ind/m3). The composition of plankton in the stomach of yellow stripe trevally have similar pattern with the compositions of plankton in the waters.Based on the calculation of electivity index, there were seven genus that have a value 0<Ei<1 and it was considered as food options of yellow stripe trevally. The selected food compositions were devided into six genus of phytoplankton, those were Asterolampra sp, Coscinodiscus sp, Cyclotella sp, Dinophysis sp, Oscillatoria. sp, Pleurosigma sp, Prorocentrum sp, and a zooplankton genus, Calanus sp. The result of main component analysis shows that water clarity parameter had significant impact on the water quality, while pH was correlated with phytoplankton abundance within in the Paciranwaters.

Abstract

The purpose of study is to determine the type of plankton found in cultivation pond of nile tilapia infected by VNN. The method is to identify the plankton in the water pond and testing the VNN that infects nile tilapia related to plankton eaten using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). VNN identification results on the nile tilapia digestive tract stomach and intestines as well as plankton found in the stomach and intestines indicate VNN positively. Plankton found in the digestive tract of fish is division of Chlorophyta, Bacillariophyta, phylum Rotifera and Crustacea. It indicates that nile tilapia infected by VNN both on the gastrointestinal tract organs, stomatch or intestines and plankton were found with positive VNN digestive duct, while plankton found in water pond is VNN negative. The VNN infection depends on the nature of specifications VNN on nile tilapia and the plankton in the nile tilapia digestive duct.

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the prebiotic activity based on the change in cell biomass of the probiotic strain after 24-h growth in the presence of Laminaran from Sargassum crassifolium with the methods of laminaran acid extract (LAE) and laminaran modified extract (LME), inulin, or glucose-relative against the change in cell biomass of Escherichia coli FNCC 0091 grown under the same condition. Prebiotic activity was calculated for L. plantarum FNCC 0051 and Bifidobacterium longum FNCC 1081. The results showed that the increasing cell number of L. plantarum was higher in both substrates LAE and LME (0,58 and 2,03log cycle), whereas that of B. longum was lower. The higher prebiotic activity score obtained for L. plantarum and B. longum grown on LME were positive (0,26 and 0,96 log cycle), whereas the lowest score was for L. plantarum and B. longum grown on LAE, which were negative (-0,35 and -0,31 log cycle), but the higher prebiotic activity score was obtained for inulin (4,08 and 4,78 log cycle). It could be concluded that Laminaran Modified Extract (LME) has potential as prebiotic source, but its potential was lower than inulin.

Abstract

Background. Current biomarkers for evaluating disease activity or severity in lupus nephritis (LN) are considered to be unsatisfactory. Pathological changes in glomerular basement membrane and selectivity of electrical discharge are causing specific patterns of urine proteins excretion. Together with alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), they are expected to become new biomarkers to assess LN activity.Method. Seventy-one urine samples were collected from healthy controls and LN patients. Patterns of urine specific proteins were determined using column chromatography and SDS-PAGE tests, LN activity was calculated using SLEDAI-renal domain score, and AAT concentrations was measured by ELISA.Result. The majority of proteins in the control group have molecular weights of >66 kDa (88%) and 21- to 25-kDa proteins were observed only in the case group. The p values for differences in urine AAT concentration between active LN and healthy controls, inactive LN and healthy controls, and active LN and inactive LN were 0.004, 0.046, and 0.054, respectively, whereas those for urine AAT/creatinine ratio were 0.489, 0.019, and 0.915, respectively.Conclusion: There were differences in the patterns of the molecular weight of proteins and urine AAT concentrations between case group and control group. However, no such differences were identified between active and inactive LN.

Abstract

The aimed research was to examine the effect of used form and level green cincau leaves (Cycleabarbata L. Miers) as feed additive on broiler performance (feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and income over feed cost). The materials used were 192 Day Old Chicks (DOC) of Lohman MB Platinum with average initial body weight of 37.4±2.87 g, encapsulated or non encapsulated green cincau leaves (Cycleabarbata L. Miers) and encapsulants. Encapsulants that used was the mixture of gum arab-whey (4:1) wich was added BHT 0.06%. Encapsulants that used was 25% of green cincau leaves (Cycleabarbata L. Miers). The method in this experiment was in vivo experiment with Nested Completely Randomized Design with 2 form of green cincau leaves (Cycleabarbata L. Miers) (non encapsulated and encapsulated) and 4 levels of inclusions 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%, if there were significant effect it would be future tested with Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. The result showed that green cincau leaves (Cycleabarbata L. Miers) in either encapsulated and non encapsulated form didn’t significantly effect (P>0.05) on consumption, feed conversion ratio and IOFC, but it significantly affected (P<0.05) body weight gain and they tended to increase (P<0.01) production index. Increasing levels of green cincau leaves (Cycleabarbata L. Miers) form 0 to 1.5% in encapsulated and non encapsulated form didn’t significantly improve feed conversion ratio, IOFC and production index, thought they tended to increase (P<0.05) feed consumption and they tended to increase (P<0.01) body weight gain. The conclusion of this research was encapsulated better than non encapsulated green cincau leaves (Cycleabarbata L. Miers). The optimal level of feed additive in encapsulated green cincau leaves (Cycleabarbata L. Miers) was 1.0%.

Abstract

The morphological characteristics of plant vegetative organ has the potential to be the defining factor of pandanus family collection at Purwodadi Botanical Garden (PBG). However, the information is not enough to confirm the identity of pandanus at the type-level. This problem happened at the collection of PBG. It is an urgent issue considering PBG as one of the most important ex-situ plant conservation institute that also has function as a study source for plant taxonomy science in Indonesia. Therefore, the use of molecular technology analysis using molecular marker (primer) is incredibly important to identify the member of pandanus family by identifying its family relationship pattern. This information was expected to give a clarity about the identity of Pandanus family at PBG which will support further research and activity for pandanus conservation. The plant sample includes 16 specimens of pandanus with one member of the family from Freycinetia as the outgroup. Morphological analysis of the 50 characteristics of vegetative organs (leaf, stem, and root) was conducted. Molecular analysis of DNA using primer of trnL and trnL-F. The data sequence as a result of the analysis was then tested using homology test with BLAST. All of the DNA sequence was paralleled using Clustal W analysis, the tree construction relationship was analysed using Maximum Parsimony (MP) method with MEGA 6.0 program. The results of morphological studies showed the character vegetative that is the position of the spines on the leaves, the shape of apex leaf and the condition of the root surface above the soil. Molecularly, appears 1 new genera that has not been previously identified by PBG researcher is Benstonea.
