Abstract

The conversion of land functions can result in a decrease of environmental quality, which can reduce the diversity of butterflies. This study aimed to determine the diversity level and to find the most abundant and less abundant butterfly species around campus 4 UAD. The sampling was done at campus area, vacant land, rice fields and housing sites. Each of these sites had 2 plots and consisted of 5 subplots, respectively. Sampling was carried out four times, which was done in the morning at 08.00 - 11.00 and in the afternoon at 15.00 - 17.00. Butterflies caught using a sweep net. The data were analyzed by inferential analysis, namely Pearson correlation test. The calculation of the diversity level of butterflies was carried out by calculating the importance value index, the diversity Shannon-Wiener index, and the Simpson dominance index. The results showed that the diversity level of Shannon Wiener index of butterflies around the campus 4 UAD showed a low level (0.67). The species of butterflies found around campus 4 UAD were Acraea violae, Aphrissa statira, Appias libythea, Appias olferna, Catopsilia pyranthe, Catopsilia Scylla, Danaus Chrysippus, Elymnias hypermnestra, Junonia almana, and Junonia atlites. The most abundant butterfly was C. pyranthe with 125 individuals whereas the least abundant was A. libythea with 1 individual. This suggested that the ecosystem around campus 4 UAD is disturbed category; causing instability of the diversity that exists, including butterflies.

Abstract

In the previous study, Penicillium sp. ID10-T065 has been mutated using ultraviolet (UV), ethyl methyl sulfonate (EMS) and the combination of UV-EMS to increase Beta-glucosidase (bgl) activity. There were three mutants selected, UV13 (UV mutant), EM31 (EMS mutant), and UM23 (UV-EMS mutant). This study examined the mutations in the bgl gene encoding (bgl1) as well as sequence differences between mutants and wild-type of Penicillium sp. ID10-T065. The gene analysis was performed by PCR amplification and sequencing of the bgl1 gene. The results of bgl1 gene sequences (600 bp) from mutants were aligned with the wild-type, it was discovered that there were base alterations from position 2025 to 2050. Mutant UV13 showed the highest base alterations (7 bases) which occurred at position 2027 (T→C); 2036 (T→G); 2040 (T→G); 2047 (G→C); and 2048-2050 (TTG→GGA). Mutant EM31 showed alterations in five bases at positions 2034 (G→A), 2036 (T→G), 2037 (G→C), 2044 (G→C), and 2047 (G→T). Mutant UM23 showed two base alterations at position 2025 (T→A) and 2037 (G→C). UV irradiation and EMS mutation resulted in transition and transversion DNA, whereas the combination of UV-EMS mutation resulted in transversion mutations. Base alterations in UV13 and EM31 mutants, causing missense and silent mutation, while in UM23 mutant only silent mutations occur. The bgl1 gene analysis showed that mutation using UV light was more effective than using EMS or a combination of UV-EMS in Penicillium sp. ID10-T065.

Abstract

Infection and deaths cases by SARS-CoV-2 still increase and have not decreased significantly. Main protease (Mpro) is playing an important role in the replication of SARS-CoV-2 life cycle and causes of rapid transmission. Natural compounds are potential to be antiviral candidates with high bioavailability and low cytotoxicity. Orchids of Dendrobium genus have high diversity in Indonesia. Dendrobium has been used as traditional Chinese medicine and contains a group of secondary metabolites with antiviral activity. This study aimed to determine the potential of secondary metabolites of Dendrobium orchids as antiviral candidates against Mpro SARS-CoV-2 with in silico molecular docking. Secondary metabolites obtained from the KNApSAck and PubChem act as ligands. N3 inhibitors as native ligands were obtained from the RCSB. Mpro SARS-CoV-2 (6LU7) as a target macromolecule. Molecular docking was carried out using the online Covid-19 Docking Server using AutoDock Vina device. The most negative binding affinity value for each ligand compared to the native ligand binding affinity. Visualization with Discovery Studio software has been used to observe the protein amino acid residues contact for each ligand. The binding affinity of the native ligand inhibitor N3 is -7.5 kcal/mol. Based on the results of Mpro docking, three phytochemicals from Dendrobium spp., i.e., dendrocandin B, denthyrsinone, and denthyrsinol compounds have binding affinities of -7.7 kcal/mol, -7.9 kcal/mol, and -8.1 kcal/mol, respectively. It can be concluded that in Dendrobium orchid, denthyrsinol has the highest chance of binding so it has the potential to inhibit the Mpro SARS-CoV-2 activity.

Abstract

Tempeh (tempe) has been known to have antibacterial properties due to the presence of glycoprotein compounds, antimicrobial peptides, and flavonoids produced by the fungus Rhizopus spp. during the fermentation process. The addition of garlic powder is expected to increase the antibacterial activity of tempeh against contaminant bacteria. This research aimed to analyze the antibacterial activity, water content, and organoleptic properties (taste, aroma, and color) of tempeh with garlic powder supplementation. Garlic powder was added to the tempeh fermentation process with various concentrations of 0.15, 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75%. Antibacterial activity, water content, and qualitative organoleptic tests were analyzed using paper disk diffusion, gravimetric, and questionnaire methods. The results showed that the addition of garlic powder in all treatments for Bacillus sp had shown an inhibitory activity with moderate strength with an inhibitory power of 0.15; 0.25; 0.50; and 0.75% respectively 8±1.71; 10±1.71; 7±0.96; 9±0.58. Meanwhile, Escherichia coli showed no inhibitory activity. The addition of garlic powder at a concentration of 0.25% reduced the water content to 58.25±0.03. In addition, the addition of garlic powder was not able to affect the color but was able to influence the aroma and taste of tempeh. Garlic powder was able to inhibit Bacillus sp with the best concentration of 0.25%; the addition of garlic powder can reduce the water content and affect the aroma and taste of tempeh.

Abstract

Most of the plant-associated bacteria can synthesize active biological components of phytohormones such as auxin. This study aimed to examine the potency of 61 endophytic bacteria isolates from the mangroves at Kutang Beach, Lamongan in producing IAA hormone and to identify types of isolates effecting the concentration of IAA, morphological characteristics of isolates, as well as endophytic bacterial species that have the most potential to produce IAA hormone. Screening of endophytic bacteria isolates was performed using the colorimetric method and the production of IAA was carried out using the spectrophotometric method. IAA production by endophytic bacteria was analyzed descriptively and statistically. One-Way ANOVA was employed to determine the effect of the isolate type on the concentration of IAA. The most potential isolates to produce IAA hormone are identified by 16s rRNA gene marker. The screening results showed that 12 isolates of endophytic bacteria have the potential to produce IAA hormones (2.0-9.3 ppm), coded with LMG 7, 15, 31, 32, 43, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 62, and 63. The results of the One-Way ANOVA test suggested that the type of isolates did not affect the concentration of IAA produced by endophytic bacteria. The twelve isolates had different morphological characters and those were Gram-positive bacilli with cell sizes ranging from 1.5 µm - 3 µm. The highest concentration of IAA was produced by LMG 15 (9.3 ppm). LMG 15 was identified as Bacillus cereus strain LMG 15, having 99.33% similarity to Bacillus cereus strain IAM 12605.

Abstract

Endophytic bacteria are microorganisms that live in plant tissues and some of them contribute to nitrogen fixation for plants. This study aimed to isolate and identify endophytic bacteria from mangroves of Kutang Beach, Lamongan, which potentially as nitrogen fixing bacteria. Bacterial Isolates were used as candidates for biofertilizers. Leaves samples were taken from 10 sampling points. Bacterial isolation was initiated by sterilizing the surface of the leaves sample and grinding it aseptically. Isolation was carried out with a pour plate method on Nutrient Agar medium. Screening for endophytic bacteria's potential as N-fixing agent was carried out by growing the bacterial isolates on a semi-solid Nitrogen Free Bromothymol Blue (NFB) medium. The isolates that produced a positive reaction with a change in the color of the medium to blue were then subjected to macroscopic (shape, color, elevation, and the edge of the colony) and microscopic observations (Gram stain and bacterial cell measurements). The isolates showed the fastest change in the color of the medium were identified by the molecular marker of the 16S rRNA gene. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively. As many as 20 isolates were obtained from the mangroves of Kutang Lamongan Beach, and ten isolates of twenty potentially as nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The ten nitrogen-fixing bacteria isolates had varying macroscopic characteristics. The microscopic characteristics showed that eight isolates had Gram-positive bacilli, and two isolates were Gram-negative with varying bacterial sizes. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence, the most potential of nitrogen-fixing bacteria was LMG II-14 isolate and identified as Paenibacillus alvei LMG II-14 with 99.36% similarity to Paenibacillus alvei strain DSM 29 based on the NCBI database. The ten nitrogen fixing isolates that have been obtained can later be used as candidates for biofertilizer composition, especially Paenibacillus alvei LMG II-14.
