Abstract

Traditionally Curcuma zedoaria (white turmeric) known as herbal medicine which possessing many biological activities. Many endophytic bacteria live in association with their host and may play an important biological roles. The main interest of this study was to investigate the endophytic bacterial diversity associated with white turmeric. White turmerics were collected from three locations in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. The isolation of endophytic bacteria was carried out using 4 kinds media (Nutrient Agar (NA), NA contained white turmeric extract (NAT), Water Yeast Extract Agar (WYEA), WYEA contained white turmeric extract (WYEAT)), and 2 methods of spread plate and plant piece methods. The identification of selected isolates was conducted by molecular analysis based on 16S DNA. The suitable media and method of isolation endophytic bacteria were NA and spread plate method. A total of 207 bacterial colonies were isolated from rhizomes, stems, and leaves and 73 endophytic bacteria were selected based on morphological characteristics. From them, 32% isolates from Bojong Gede, 22% isolates from Cibinong and 46% isolates from Dramaga were obtained. Endophytic bacteria were predominated 38% in the rhizomes, 32% of stems, and 30% of leaves. Based on 16S rDNA sequence analysis, the isolates were belonging to the cluster Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria, with twenty three different genera includes Stenothropomonas, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Providencia, Klebsiella, Dickeya, Pantoea, Bacillus, Acinetobacter, Citrobacter, Mycobacterium, Cellulomonas, Microbacterium, Methylobacterium, Penylobacterium, Roseomonas, Agrobacterium, Bosea, Xanthobacter, Rhizobium, Burkholderia, Ralstonia, and Alcaligenes. The plant location, age, part of plant, media and method of isolation seem to influence the endophytic bacterial communities.

Abstract

Isoflavone has multiple beneficial effects on human health, especially as antioxidant and anticancer. Biotransformation of two enantiomers (CE1 and CE2) of cis-isoflavan-4-ol by E. coli JM109 (pJHF108) carrying a biphenyl dioxygenase gene from P. pseudoalcaligenes KF707 produced two products and they were designated as CM1 and CM2. They had retention time at 11.9 and 14.6 min, respectively, and same absorption peaks at 204, 220 and 275 nm. CM1 and CM2 had [M-H2O+H]+  at m/z 225. Based on the molecular mass, hydrolysis products, and previous report, this study proposed that epoxidation occurred on cis-isoflavan-4-ol. Chloroform extraction was done to improve the stability of CM1 and CM2.
