Abstract

A new bacterial strain that produces amylase and poly-a-hidroxybutyrate (PHB) using sago starch as carbon source was characterized and identified to be member of the Bacillus megaterium group based on phenotypic characteristics  and 16S rDNA gene sequences. Amylase activity was determined spectrophotometrically on the basis of substrate concentration reduction. PHB production was quantified with UV spectrophotometer. The polymer produced by B. megaterium PSA10 was identified by  Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The result of the study showed that the amylase specific activity B. megaterium PSA10 was 593,61 DUN/mg protein and PHB production from sago starch was 52,28 % of cell dry weight (CDW). FTIR analysis of the polymer indicated that the strain B.megaterium PSA10 was a potent PHB producer.

Abstract

Fasciola gigantica diagnosis usually performed by detection of worm eggs presence in the feces,but this conventional method has many disadvantages. Early diagnosis (early detection) cannot be performed in conventional methods because the worms in the host's body began to lay eggs at the age of 8–12 weeks of patency. The current detection method that is based on antibody­antigen reactions using excreted/secreted (ES) liquid by adult F. gigantica, is believed to be used for the early detection of fasciolosis. This study aimed to characterize the antigenic components of F. gigantica extretory/secretory products that could be used as a vaccine candidate development for early fasciolosis diagnostics. ES products were separated by PEG4000 at various concentrations (8%, 16%, 24%), then precipitates (pellets) obtained were dialyzed and characterized using SDS­PAGE and Western blotting. Results from SDSPAGE showed that there were 18 proteins bands with 7–70 kDa molecular weights. Western blotting on pellets derived from PEG separation at various concentrations affirmed that the proteins of 50, 25 and 20 kDa were antigenic at 8% PEG concentration, the 25 kDa and 50 kDa were antigenic at 16% PEG concentrations and the 25 kDa was antigenic at 25% PEG concentration

Abstract

Ovarian cancer is a lethal disease. One of the problems faced by patients with ovarian cancer is the lack of symptoms in its early stages, which results in it only being detected when it is at an advanced stage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for biomarkers that can predict ovarian cancer precisely. The purpose of this study was to determine the expression of microRNA-21 as a predictive biomarker candidate in both early- and advanced-stage ovarian cancer. This was a cross-sectional study using the blood plasma of 21 healthy control subjects and 37 blood plasma samples from patients with ovarian cancer. Blood plasmas were collected, from which the RNA was isolated. Based on the RNA, the cDNA was synthesized and run through qPCR, the results of which were analyzed using the Livak method. The results showed an upregulation of microRNA-21 in the advanced stage by 2.14 fold compared with the early stage, and 6.13 fold compared with the healthy controls (p < 0.05). The upregulation of microRNA-21 in early-stage ovarian cancer was 2.86 fold compared with the healthy control subjects (p < 0.05). In addition, there was an increase in the expression of microRNA-21 in ovarian cancer by 4.14 fold compared with the healthy controls (p < 0.05). Based on these results, it can be concluded that the expression of microRNA 21 upregulated with the severity of the disease.

Abstract

Phalaenopsis “Sogo Vivien “is a mini orchid hybrid with beautiful flowers and numerous inflorescences.Mass propagation of this orchid is needed to meet the market demand. Objective of this research was toinduce somatic embryogenesis of P.”Sogo Vivien” through insertion of AtRKD4 gene into orchid. T-DNAcontaining 35S::GAL4::AtRKD4::GR was inserted into 16-22 days after sowing orchid protocorms mediated byAgrobacterium tumefaciens EHA 105. Activation of the AtRKD4 gene was induced by glucocorticoid inductionsystem, using 15μM Dexamethasone (Dex). The results showed that 34 out of 2,648 orchid embryos developedinto protocorms on hygromycin selection medium, whereas only 4 out of 2,897 non-transformant protocormsdeveloped from embryos. A 500 bp of HPT genes was amplified from transformant candidates using specificprimers for HPT (HygF1 and HygR1) and 380 bp was amplified using specific primers for AtRKD4 (AtRKD4F1 and AtRKD4 R1), indicated that transgenes have been integrated into orchid genomes. Finally, 17 plantletswere positively carrying AtRKD4 and HPT genes, the efficiency of transformation was 0.63 %. Somatic embryoswere also emerged from leaf explants of transformant on hormone-free NP medium and became normalplantlets. It is probably due to the high activity of AtRKD4 genes in orchids

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine genetic diversity of Madura cattle using Polymerase Chain Reaction – Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP) analysis of the cytochrome b (cytb) gene. Samples used for the experiments were blood of 43 cattle that consist of 15 cattle obtained from Madura Island, 23 cattle from Sapudi Island, and 5 Limousin-Madura (Limura) cattle. A fragment of 464 base pair of cytb gene was amplifi ed by forward primer L14735 and reverse primer H15149. The PCR product was digested with TaqIand HinfI restriction enzymes to identify genetic patterns. Data of PCR-RFLP showed two haplotypes, that were A and B, in cattle obtained from both Madura Island and Sapudi Island. The frequencies of haplotype A and B of cattle from Sapudi Island were 69.57% and 30.47%, respectively. More diverse frequencies were observed in cattle obtained from Madura Island, where haplotype A and B were 86.67% and 13.33%, respectively. In this experiment, Limura cattle had only haplotype A. As a conclusion, PCR-RFLP of the cytb gene had been able to determine a genetic diversity of Madura cattle. Key words: Genetic diversity, Madura cattle, haplotype.

Abstract

This research aims to isolate and characterize the fcin enzyme from Ficus septica stem latex. Ficin from Ficus septica stem latex was isolated using column chromatography. Then enzyme activity was tested at different temperature (40oC, 50oC, 60oC, 70oC) and pH (6.0, 7.0, 8.0) levels. Ficin enzyme activity of joint treatment with variations in temperature and pH was analyzed using two-way ANOVA with a factorial pattern followed by Least Signifcant Difference (LSD) test. The results showed that temperature treatment signifcantly affects enzyme activity. However, the treatment of pH and the interaction between temperature and pH did not signifcantly affect the fcin enzyme activity. There was no signifcant difference in fcin activity at the incubation temperatures of 40oC and 50oC, as well as 60oC and 70oC. However, comparing the incubation temperatures of 40oC and 50oC with treatment 60°C and 70°C showed a signifcant difference in fcin enzyme activity. In the treatment of incubation at pH 6, 7 and 8 for fcin enzyme activity showed no signifcant difference. We concluded that the Ficus septica plant latex contained fcin enzyme with an optimum temperature of 60°C and optimum pH of 6, 7, and 8.
