Abstract

HtrA which is characterized by the combination of a trypsin-like catalytic domain with at least one C-terminalPDZ domain is a highly conserved family of serine proteases found in a wide range of organisms. However theidentified HtrA family numbers varies among spesies, for example the number of mammalian, Eschericia coli,fruit fly-HtrA family are 4, 3 and 1 gene respectively. One gene is predicted exist in zebrafish. Since no completeinformation available on zebrafish HtrA, in this paper zebrafish HtrA (zHtrA) gene was analyzed. The zHtrA isbelonged to HtrA1 member and predicted encodes 478 amino acids with a signal peptide, a IGF binding domain,a Kazal-type inhibitor domain in the up stream of HtrA-bacterial homolog. At the amino acid sequence the zHtrA1showed the 69%, 69%, 68%, 54% and 54% with the rat HtrA1, mouse HtrA1, human HtrA1, human HtrA3 andmouse HtrA4 respectively. The zHtrA1 is firstly expressed at 60 hpf and mainly in the vertebral rudiments in thetail region.

Abstract

The aim of this experiment was to isolate and identify Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) from infant faeces and subsequent evaluation of its potential probiotics. LAB was isolated from faeces of infants who consumed breast milk as the only source of diet on L-cysteine-supplemented MRS Agar, and incubated on 37oC for 48 hours. Colonies grew on this media were then identifi ed based on morphological, physiological and molecular approaches. Morphological and physiological identifi cations based on Gram staining, shape, motility, spore formation, catalase, CO2 and NH3 production, and the ability to grow on temperature at 10oC and 45oC. Molecular identifi cation based on the amplifi cation of 16S rRNA gene. The potential application of selected isolates for probiotics was evaluated based on the ability to grow on media with low pH and the addition of 0.5% bile salts, the ability to inhibit the growth of pathogenic Bacillus cereus and Eschericia coli, and in vitroadherence ability. On the basis of morphological, physiological and molecular analysis of 16S rRNA gene, it was concluded that the selected isolate 1AF was a strain of Lactobacillus casei. Evaluation of probiotic in vitro showed that 60.4% of cells were resistant to pH 2.0 for 90 minutes. Survival of isolate 1AF after growing at 0.5% bile salts was 70.8%. The selected isolate 1AF showed the ability to inhibit the growth of Eschericia coli and Bacillus cereus with inhibitory zone of 12.00±1,00 and 15.33±1.53 mm, respectively. In vitro study on the adherence value of isolate to solid plate was found at 46.5%.

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)

Abstract

Marine actinomycetes is a robust source of secondary metabolites including anticancer compounds . The objective of this research was to select marine actinomycetes producing potential compounds as anticancer used combination methods that consist of amplification PKS I (polyketide synthases type I) and NRPS (non ribosomal peptide synthetases) genes, analysis the diversity of secondary metabolites and genetic. Selected isolates were used for cytotoxicity assay. PKS I and NRPS genes were amplified using sets of degenerate primers. K1F and M6R were used for amplify ketosynthase and methyl-malonyl-CoA transferase modules of PKS I gene which targeted sequences 1200-1400 bp. A3F and A7R were used for amplify adenilation domains of NRPS gene which targeted sequences 700-800 bp. The diversity of secondary metabolites was analized by TLC and densitometry of ethyl acetate extracts. Genetic diversity was analized by repetitive DNA fingerprinting using BOXA1R primers. The cytotoxicity of secondary metabolites on T47D and MCF7 breast cell lines cancer was measured by MTT assay method. Fifty two marine actinomycetes isolates were screened using combination methods. Ten isolates were detected encoding both PKS I and NRPS genes, whereas 11 isolates were detected encoding the NRPS gene. The screening by analysis of secondary metabolites and genetic diversity methods were obtained 6 selected isolates for cytotoxicity assay, which consist of 3 isolates encoding both PKS I and NRPS genes and 3 isolates encoding NRPS gene.Isolate 1 had high cytotoxicity with the IC50 on T47D cell was 19 μg/ml and the IC50 on MCF7 cell was 7 g/ml. This findings suggests that combination methods were effective and efficient way to select marine actinomycetes producing potential compounds as anticancer.

Abstract

The decolourization of the recalcitrant dye RBBR by the culture filtrate of Polyporus sp. S133 and its isolatedlaccase was investigated. The laccase alone decolorized RBBR. A small molecular weight redox mediator (HBT) wasnecessary to increase the decolorization. The purified laccase totally decolorized the dye of 200 mg l-1 initialconcentration of RBBR when only 1.5 U ml-1 of laccase was used in the reaction mixture. The effects of differentphysicochemical parameters were tested and optimal decolorization rates occurred at pH 5 and at a temperature of 50°C. The effect of surfactants on the decolourization of RBBR was tested with Tween 80, Tween 20, and Brij 35. It wasdemonstrated that Tween 80 was inhibiting substrate for the decolorization while Tween 80 and Brij 35 was noinhibiting effect for the decolorization. Provided that all of the condition is included, it is suggested that laccase maybe suitable for the wastewater treatment of similar anthraquinone dyes.Keywords: Decolorization; Laccase; Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR); Polyporus sp.

Abstract

AbstractApolipoprotein E (ApoE) has been considered to play an important role in cardiovascular disorders.Several studies reported that genetic variation in ApoE locus influence plasma lipoprotein level. The objectivesof this study was to compare the frequency of ApoE genotypes and alleles in some populations of Indonesia.One hundred and ninety five voluntarily unrelated apparently healthy individuals were recruited fromSurabaya, Palu and Alor representing the western, middle and eastern populations of Indonesia, respectively.Blood samples were collected from each subject for DNA extraction. The common allelic variants of ApoE werescreened using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism. Three allelesi.e. ε2, ε3 and ε4 were identified and five genotypes i.e. ApoE ε2/ε2, ApoE ε2/ε3, ApoE ε3/ε3, ApoE ε2/ε4, ApoE ε3/ε4 were found in three populations studied, while ApoE ε4/ε4 was absent in Surabaya, representing the westernpopulations of Indonesia. The frequency of ε2, ε3 and ε4 alleles in the western population were 0.208, 0.701and 0.092 respectively; in the middle population were 0.242, 0.618 and 0.140 respectively and in the easternpopulation of Indonesia were 0.267, 0.466 and 0.267 respectively. The highest frequency of ε2 and ε4 allelewas found in the eastern population of Indonesia. The distribution of ε2 allele were not significantly differentamong all Indonesian populations, but significantly different were found in ε3 and ε4 allele in the easternpopulation compared to those in the western and middle populations of Indonesian. It can be concluded thatthe frequency of three ApoE alleles in the western and middle populations of Indonesia was not significantlydifferent however, significantly different was observed in the frequency of ApoE ε3 and ε4 alleles from theeastern compared to those in the western and middle populations of Indonesia.Keywords : Apolipoprotein E; genotypes; allele frequency; populations of Indonesia

Abstract

The extract of root nodules Vigna radiata (rnVr) which inoculated by Rhizobium is considered beneficial as an orally available anemia therapeutic candidate, because it contain the leghemoglobin. The positive control mice (group I) were fed with the high nutrient pellet.The twelve mice (Mus musculus) was treated with the “taking rice pellet” that representing the low nutrient food for 21 days until they suffered anemia. Then, the anemia mice were treated orally with rnVr in different concentration groups:II. 0% III.33%; IV.67% and V.100%, respectively and fed with the “aking rice pellet”. After 14 days, the blood mice were collected from orbital sinus. The hemoglobin (Hb) concentration were analyzed by spectrophotometry and blood plasma profile protein were analyzed with electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). All anemia mice that treated with rnVr showed the increasing of Hb and group that treated with 100% extract of rnVr could reach a normal Hb value, raising from 9.85 to 12.68 g/dL. There were observed the proteins which have molecule weight 36.5 and 35.7 kDa that indicated the existing erythropoietin. The increasing haemoglobin concentration and erythropoietin suggested if extract of rnVr could increasing red blood production and potential as an orally available anemia therapeutic candidate.
