Abstract

Sponges, a group of marine multicellular animals with a porous body structure, show potential for the production of bioactive compounds. Sponge‐associated bacteria are an alternative antimicrobial producer due to their high content of bioactive compounds. This study aimed to identify the highest‐potential antimicrobial‐producing bacteria isolate associated with Jaspis sp. sponges from Enggano island. The isolated bacteria were screened for antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans using cultures, supernatants, pellets, and crude extracts. The study also conducted genetic identification to determine the identity of the isolate with the greatest potency and its closest relationship using the 16S rRNA gene. The antimicrobial activity was determined by monitoring and measuring the diameter of the formed clear zones. The results of the observations of morphological characteristics revealed nine isolates from Jaspis sp. that each consisting of 6 JABS isolates and 3 JABB isolates. Based on isolates that had antimicrobial activity, JABS6 isolates had the best antimicrobial activity, with the diameter of inhibition zones of 24.7, 8.2, 4.6, and 33.7 mm for E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and C. albicans, respectively. The genome sequencing of the JABS6 isolate confirmed that it was identical to Bacillus thuringiensis strain USS‐CAP‐1. The study concludes that this finding shows promise for the further development of future antimicrobial agents.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of papaya‐fruit latex and yellow‐senesced leaves as a natural and organic tenderizer. The fruit and leaves of the plant were ground to powder, while 0 g, 10 g, 15 g and 20 g variations were used to cover 50 g of meat for 4 h. Subsequently, the Bradford and Kjeldahl methods were used to determine the protein content, while the protein profile was analyzed using SDS‐PAGE and confirmed using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results showed that the protein concentration in mutton after fruit latex treatment was 41%, which was higher than the concentration of beef at 29.86%. Furthermore, the beef lost protein bands and its molecular weight fell from 225 kDa to 86 KDa, while the mutton experienced a reduction from 100 kDa to 65 kDa, which was significantly smaller than for raw meat. A single protein band was also observed at 21.6 kDa in the sample, indicating the presence of papain enzyme protein. Meanwhile, the SEM results showed that collagen and myofibril in the muscles were damaged in the treated meats. Based on these results, treatment with papaya fruit latex and yellow papaya leaves increases the tenderness of meat.

Abstract

Potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivar IPB CP1 is suitable as a raw material for the potato chip industry. Potato plants are sensitive to various abiotic stresses such as drought, aluminium and salinity, which induce reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS is very toxic to plant cells. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is one of the enzymes that catalyse ROS to H2O2 and O2. This study aimed to establish transgenic potato cv. IPB CP1 plants containing the MmCuZn‐SOD gene that are tolerant to various abiotic stresses. Genetic transformation using internodes without buds as explants produced putative transgenic potato with a transformation efficiency of 51.25% and a regeneration efficiency of 38.87%. Integration analysis of the MmCuZn‐SOD transgene in putative transgenic plants by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with a set of specific primers showed that eight plants contained the MmCuZn‐SOD gene under the control of the 35S CaMV promoter. In vitro salinity stress, aluminium stress, and drought stress assays showed that transgenic plants had a higher number of roots and total root length than non‐transgenic ones. These results indicate that transgenic potato cv. IPB CP1 plants are more tolerant to abiotic stresses than non‐transgenic ones.

Abstract

Standard microbiological culture techniques can only identify a fraction of the urogenital microbiome. Meanwhile, identifying and characterizing infectious microorganisms are very important for the success of diagnosis and treatments, especially for Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) patients. This study aimed to characterize the urogenital microbiome of UTI patients using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. We sequenced two pooled DNA samples from voided urine of UTI patients (21 females and 13 males). To determine the structure and composition of taxa in the samples, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed using the Illumina Mi‐Seq paired‐end platform. The most abundant genera were Burkholderia‐Caballeronia‐Paraburkholderia (71%) followed by Prevotella (33%), Escherichia‐Shigella (24%), Klebsiella (23%) and Sneathia (10%). The female microbiome was dominated by Prevotella bivia (28%), Escherichia coli (24%), Sneathia sanguinegens (7%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (4%). On the other hand, the male microbiome was dominated by K. pneumoniae (23%) and E. coli (2%). K. pneumoniae and E. coli were the most abundant species found in both microbiomes. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing used in this study successfully uncovered the composition of the urogenital microbiome, which might not have been possible with conventional culture methods.

Abstract

Keloid is a benign fibroproliferative tissue growth that exceeds the initial wound margins. Captopril has been tested in vitro to reduce fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition; thus, it has potential for use in the treatment of keloids. Meanwhile, 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) has already been used in keloid management. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of the combination of captopril and 5‐FU in keloid fibroblast cultures. Keloid tissues were cultured up to passages 4–7. The study consisted of a control group, captopril in various concentrations (10‐2, 10‐3, 10‐4, and 10‐5 mol/L), 5‐FU 1 mg/mL and a combination of captopril at various concentrations with 5‐FU 1 mg/mL. After 144 hours of treatment, fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition were measured. The study showed a significant decrease in the mean index of fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition in the group receiving captopril in various concentrations (10‐2, 10‐3, 10‐4, and 10‐5 mol/L) and the 5‐FU group against the control group (p<0.05). In the combined‐dose group, captopril at a concentration of 10‐2 mol/L and 5‐FU showed a significant reduction in fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition compared to the 5‐FU group and the captopril at the same dose (p<0.05). In conclusion, the combination of captopril 10‐2 mol/L and 5‐FU 1 mg/mL is better at reducing fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition in keloid fibroblast cultures than captopril or 5‐FU as a single therapeutic agent.

Abstract

Dendrobium phalaenopsis Fitzg. (also known as the Larat orchid) is an endemic orchid from Larat Island, Eastern Indonesia. Its beautiful flowers mean that many plants are taken for commercial purposes, leading to the rapid decline of populations in their natural habitats. The objectives of this study were to determine which organs of the transgenic Larat orchid carrying the 35S::GR::AtRKD4 construct, together with which concentrations of the plant growth regulators (PGRs) auxin and cytokinin, are suitable for the induction of somatic embryos (SEs). In this study, the AtRKD4 gene in Larat orchids was confirmed using PCR with specific primers for the AtRKD4 and HPT genes. Thidiazuron (TDZ) (1, 3 and 5 mg/L) in combination with 1‐naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) (0.5 and 1 mg/L) were used on new phalaenopsis (NP) medium to induce SEs from leaves, pseudobulbs and roots. The AtRKD4 transgenes were detected as being stably integrated into the DNA genome of transformant plants using specific primers for AtRKD4 and HPT genes, and positive results were obtained using actin gene primers as internal controls for PCR. Pseudobulbs produced 19 to 20 SEs from 108 pseudobulb explants (89–100%), a higher number than produced in explants of the other organs studied. Among the PGR treatments, the best results were obtained in NP medium supplemented with a combination of 1 mg/L TDZ and 1 mg/L NAA, 100% of the explants of which produced SEs (2.11 ± 1.36). No significant difference was found between the morphology of the SEs produced from the non‐transformant Larat orchid pseudobulb explants and the 35S::AtRKD4 carrier transformant.

Abstract

More than 6,000,000 people have died due to the coronavirus (COVID‐19) pandemic. This disease spread quickly due to its highly contagious nature. The SARS‐CoV‐2 virus that causes the disease can be transmitted through saliva droplets secreted by infected people at a distance of less than 1 m. As a result, saliva has been accepted as an alternative specimen for COVID‐19 detection by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Furthermore, WHO recommended the use of rapid antigen tests based on lateral flow immunoassay when reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) is not available. We developed a saliva‐based rapid antigen test by optimizing the antibody concentration and optimum pH for the conjugation of antibody and gold nanoparticles. We found that the best running buffer formulation consisted of 75 mM sodium phosphate buffer, 1% NaCl, 1% Triton X‐100, 0.5% N‐acetyl‐L‐cysteine, and 0.02% sodium azide. The addition of a mucolytic agent in the buffer can reduce the viscosity of saliva, thus improving sensitivity. The rapid test developed detected the lowest concentration of nucleocapsid protein at 0.1 μg/mL. Our study revealed 100% specificity against negative COVID‐19 saliva and no cross‐reaction with avian influenza virus hemagglutinin.
