Abstract

Cellulase is an ezyme that specifically cleaves the 1,4-β-glycosidic bond of cellulose to produce thesmall fragments of simple carbohydrate. This work was aimed to characterize the extracellular cellulase fromPaenibacillus spp., which was previously isolated from macro termites, Odontotermes bhagwatii in our laboratory.Two Paenibacillus isolates were used in this experiment, namely Paenibacillus cellulositrophicus SBT1 andPaenibacillus, sp. SBT8. Analysis of the total proteins in the supernatants showed that P. cellulositrophicus SBT1and Paenibacillus sp. SBT8 roughly produced as much as 18.6 mg/l and 24.8 mg/l of extracellular cellulases,respectively. Enzymatic assay showed that SBT1 and SBT8 cellulase exhibited enzymatic acitivity of 0.17 U/mg and 0.12 U/mg, respectively. Temperature dependencies analysis indicated that both cellulases exhibitedmaximum activity at 35oC. At the temperature higher than 55oC, the enzymatic activities of both cellulases wereroughly 20% reduced compared to the maximum activity. SBT1 and SBT8 cellulases were both active at acidicpH. At basic pH (pH 8) the enzymatic activities of both cellulases were reduced roughly 30% compared to thatof acidic pH. Supplementing of Mg2+, Zn2+, and Ca2+ in range of 1-10 mM increased the enzymatic activity ofboth cellulases roughly 33 to 50%.

Abstract

Indonesia has a wide range of rice cultivars and pigments. This rice can be used as a source of phytochemical compounds for cancer prevention. This research aims to analyze the cytotoxic activities of the ethanolic extract of black rice bran of 4 local cultivars i.e. ‘Cempo Ireng’, ‘Woja Laka’, ‘Toraja’ and ‘IR­64’ (white rice) on  cancer cells and to determine the compounds groups of those extracts. First step, rice bran was extracted with ethanol. This extract was applied to Raji (a human Burkitt Lymphoma cancer), HepG2 (a human liver cancer), and Vero (a nonhuman cell line) cells in order to measure the cytotoxic activities by using MTT assay. To determine descriptively the compounds groups of phenolics, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, and alkaloids the thin layer chromatography method was performed. The IC50 value was analyzed quantitatively by using probit analysis. Results showed that the IC50 values of ethanolic extract of rice bran ‘Woja Laka’, ‘Toraja’, ‘Cempo Ireng’ and ‘IR 64’ on HepG2 cells were 857.23±99.19; 1,896.55±83,8; 1,494.47±87.81 and 727.89±145,97 µg/ml respectively. The IC50 on Raji cells were 816.61±85.31; 1,079.93±28.31; 1,627.82; ±119.82, and 769.33±61.43 µg/ml respectively. The IC50 on Vero cells were 1,295.2±37; 1,232.07±165.51; 1,874.14±169.56, and 724.4±122.79 µg/ml respectively. The ethanolic extracts of rice bran from four cultivars contain phenolics, flavonoids, terpenoids, and steroids. However, alkaloids could not be detected. The variety of rice cultivars indicates the variation of cytotoxic activities on cancer cells. The ethanolic extracts of rice bran from those four rice cultivars contain similar kinds of organic compounds groups but vary in the Rf values.

Abstract

Microorganisms associated with the production of volatile compound in spoilt mango fruits sold in Sokoto town were isolated and identified. The organisms include seven species of bacteria and a species of yeast. These include Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus firmus, Brevibacillus laterosporus, Morganella morganii, Paenibacillus alvei, Staphylococcus saccharolyticus, Listeria monocytogenes and Candida krusei respectively. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of eleven and sixteen volatile organic compound in the healthy and spoilt ripe mango fruits. Octadecanoic acid, oleic acid, 1 – Butanol, 3 – methyl-, carbonate (2:1) and 3,7 – Dimethyl nonane were common to both healthy and spoilt fruits with the first three having higher concentration in healthy fruits than spoilt while the later had higher concentration in the spoilt. One methyl group of 3,3- Dimethyl hexane in healthy fruit was shifted to position two to yield 2,3-Dimethyl hexane in the spoilt fruits. 2,2-Dimethylbutane, Methyl(methyl-4-deoxy-2,3-di-O-methyl.beta.1-threo-hex-4-enopyranosid) urinate, 3-(4-amino-phenyl)-2-(toluene-4-sulfonylamino)-propionic acid, 2-Methyl-3-heptanone, 3,5-Nonadien-7-yn-2-ol, (E,E), Butanoic acid, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester, 1-methyl-3-beta.phenylethyl-2,4,5-trioxoimidazolidine, Pentanoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl, ethyl ester (Vinyl 2,2-dimethylpentanoate), 4-Methyurazole, 1-Tridecyn- 4 – 9 – ol, 1-Hexyl-1-nitrocyclohexane were unique to spoilt fruits. This study suggests that these unique volatile metabolites could be exploited as biomarkers to discriminate pathogens even when more than one disease is present thereby curbing post harvest loss during storage after further validation and the volatile organic compound could form the basis for constructing a metabolomics database for Nigeria.

Abstract

Gelatin extraction from fish bone has traditionally involved hydrogen chloride and/or sodium hydroxide during pre-treatment. However, these chemicals have begun to be abandoned because of their associated safety and environmental issues. Several studies have looked at the use of citric acid as a safer alternative in fish bone gelatin extraction. The aim of this research was to extract gelatin from the bone of Pangasius catfish with pineapple liquid waste. The extraction was performed in two steps: pre-treatment followed by main extraction at various times (24–56 h) and temperatures (45–75°C). Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was used as a confirmation test and showed a band for gelatin at ~120 kDa. Gelatin yields were calculated as the ratio of weight of dried gelatin to the total weight of fish ossein. The results indicated that pineapple liquid waste can be used for fish bone gelatin extraction. The recommended conditions for extraction of fish bone gelatin using pineapple liquid waste are 56 h of pre-treatment and 5 h of main extraction at a temperature of 75°C. The gelatin yield was 6.12% and the protein concentration 4.00 g/100 g.

Abstract

Kopyor coconut is a natural mutant that has abnormal endosperm development. For the first time several genes that were suspected to be related to kopyor trait were identified based on the chemical compounds of the endosperm that different from that of normal coconut. Sucrose synthase (SUS), Stearoyl acyl carrier protein desaturase (SACPD), and Absicid acid insensitive (ABI) genes were isolated and analyzed. Four DNA fragments with length of 746, 738, 780, and 687 bp (CnSus1A, CnSus1B, CnSus2A, and CnSus2B) were obtained from SUS gene. Sequence analysis at DNA and amino acid level showed that CnSus1A, CnSus1B, CnSus2A, and CnSus2B were classified into monocot SUS group with nongrass SUS type. Isolation of SACPD gene resulted in one DNA fragment with DNA length of 716 bp. CnSacpd shared a high homology with SACPD gene of oil palm and soybean. Isolation of ABI gene resulted in two DNA fragments, CnAbi3A and CnAbi3B, with DNA length of 760 and 728 bp, respectively. CnAbi3A and CnAbi3B showed a high homology with ABI3 gene of several plants. All DNA fragment obtained from SUS, SACPD, ABI genes were used as templates to design spesific markers for each corresponding gene. There were 7 specific primer sets designed, i.e., CnSUS1A, CnSUS1B, CnSUS2A, CnSUS2B, CnSACPD, CnABI3A, and CnABI3B.<

Abstract

Polyhydroxybutyrate is a component of bioplastics that is synthesized under the control of enzymes encoded by pha multigenes. The genes are naturally present in Ralstonia eutropha. However, the production of bioplastics in bacteria is inefficient because the bacterial biomass is relatively small compared with plants or fungi. As such, engineering techniques have been developed that enable pha genes to be inserted into plant biomass, and then be expressed in the biomass of the plant to produce polyhydroxybutyrate. The objectives of this study were to transform the tissue of Jatropha curcas using the phaC gene (a pha gene), to regenerate the transformed plant, and to confirm the presence of the inserted genes with PCR. The genetic transformation of J. curcas was mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101 containing pARTC by dipping the cotyledon tissue of J. curcas in a suspension of the bacterium for 30 min, followed by cocultivation for 3 d on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. The tissue was then placed on a selection medium, i.e. MS medium containing 13.3 µM BAP and 0.05 µM IBA with the addition of 20 mg/L kanamycin. The results showed that 12.35% of the tissue survived and regenerated into a shoot after 1–2 months. Molecular analysis of the transformed tissue was performed using phaC and nptII primers, in order to detect the presence of the phaC and nptII genes. Specific bands were detected at 659 bp and 700 bp, corresponding to the nptII primer and phaC primer, respectively.

Abstract

Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) production from amylolytic Micrococcus sp. PG1. Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate(PHB) is an organic polymer, which synthesized by many bacteria and serves as internal energy. PHB ispotential as future bioplastic but its price is very expensive due to glucose usage in PHB industry. Thedevelopment of PHB production using starch as an alternative carbon source has been conducted to reducethe dependence of glucose in PHB production. In this study, amylolytic bacteria from arrowroot processingsite were screened quantitavely based on amylase specifi c activity and PHB producing ability. The result of thestudy showed that among of 24 amylolytic isolates, 12 isolates of them were able to accumulate PHB rangedfrom 0,68-11,65% (g PHB/g cdw). The highest PHB production from substrate arrowroot starch was PG1 andafter optimization resulted in increasing of PHB production up to 16,8% (g PHB/g cdw) 40 hours incubationtime. Based on morphological, biochemical and physiological characters, the PG1 isolate was identifi ed asMicrococcus sp. PG1. Result of the FTIR analysis of produced polymer by Micrococcus sp. PG1 was indicatedas poly-β- hydroxybutyrate (PHB)
