Abstract

Microbial respiration in peatlands plays a role in contributing CO2 emissions. Studies of microbial exploration and respiration on peat soils in oil palm plantations have not been widely reported. This study aims to explore lignocellulolytic microbes found in peat soils in compared with mineral soils planted with 12-year-old oil palm. Exploration is done by growing the samples on the specific medium of each group of microbial functions. In the next stage, the culture obtained was analysed the respiration activity based on the oxidation of peroxidase catalysis using a chromogen substrate (tetramethylbenzidine) and measured using spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 450 nm. The results showed that both in mineral and peat planted with oil palm in a depths of 0-20 cm were found lignolytic fungi with a population of 17 x 102. Similar results were also found in peat with fern vegetation but at a depth of 20-40 cm. Lignolytic bacteria (methylene blue degradation) can be found on peat soils planted with oil palm at a depth of 0-60 cm and the population increases with increasing depth. This bacterium is also found on peat soils with fern vegetation and mineral soils planted with palm. At a depth of 0-20 cm the population of lignolytic bacteria in non-oil palm peat is highest. Cellulolytic bacteria were isolated at a depth of 0-60 cm. Cellulolytic bacterial populations were highest in oil palm peat at all depths compared to other samples. Respiration analysis of several dominant isolates showed fairly high variation between microbial function groups and within the same function group. The lignolytic microbial group degrading methylene blue showed high respiration activity and varies greatly (0.19-1.85 MER). While the respiration activity of cellulolytic bacteria ranged from 0.45 to 0.62 MER.

Abstract

Study about the effect of hydrocarbon-polluted seawater on the cell density of microalgae Scenedesmus vacuolatus has been done. Hydrocarbon pollution derived from oil in the sea can inhibit photosynthesis process of microalgaes. This might impact the density of microalgae cells. The purposes of this study are to determine the effect of the concentration of hydrocarbon-polluted seawater on the density of Scenedesmus vacuolatus microalgae cells and to determine the optimum treatment to reduce total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) levels. Sampling of hydrocarbon-polluted seawater was taken at Kali Adem port, Jakarta. The treatment done in this research used Walne medium with the addition of 25% hydrocarbon-polluted seawater (A), 50% (B), 75% (C), and 100% (D). Control is Walne medium with sterile seawater that was not from the Kali Adem port. The results showed the highest average density of Scenedesmus vacuolatus cells was in the control sample. This can be seen from the results of the average cell density at peak time of 29.48 x 105 cells / mL, as well as the log phase length of Scenedesmus vacuolatus. Measurement of TPH levels showed decreases of TPH in all treatments. The optimum treatment to reduce TPH levels is on treatment B with reduction percentage of 70.62%. Key words: Kali Adem port, Scenedesmus vacuolatus, total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH), Walne medium

Abstract

Tempeh is the most famous traditional fermented food in Indonesia. Tempeh fermentation consists of two stages. In the first stage, the acidification of soybeans used bacteria around 24 hours. Lactic acid bacteria are found in tempeh. Therefore, this study is aimed to investigate the diversity of LAB from tempeh based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and to study their function in tempeh fermentation. In this study, twenty-two LAB isolates were obtained from tempeh. The isolates were closely related to Lactobacillus agilis, Lactobacillus fermentum, Weissella confusa, and Lactobacillus delbrueckii. L. fermentum (13 isolates) were the most abundant in tempeh, followed by L. agilis (7 isolates). It was found LAB important for the acidification of soybeans which the pH of soybean soaking water decreased from pH 7 to pH 4.4-4.9. Key words:  diversity, LAB, Lactobacillus,t empeh, Weissella

Abstract

Dermatophytosis cases have increased significantly in various countries, more than 20-25% of the population were infected by superficial fungal infections. Malabero urban village is a coastal area in Bengkulu city with high temperature and humidity. The daily activities of residents in the area are mostly fishermen, so they are in a watery or wet environment for approximately 12 hours every day. So, this research aimed to identify dermatophyte fungi that caused tinea pedis and tinea unguium from these coastal communities. The diagnosis of tinea was based on symptoms and physical examination of the lesion area. Furthermore, specimen collection was carried out by scraping the lesion area, then examined with 20% KOH and fungal culture on sabouraud dextrose agar media. Subjects included 79 people who had symptoms of tinea pedis and 33 people with symptoms of tinea unguium. The results of dermatophyte fungi identification were obtained, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton tonsurans, and Aspergillus sp. Our conclusion is the most identified dermatophyte species is Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Keywords: Coastal, dermatophyte, tinea pedis, tinea unguium

Abstract

North Sumatera is one of the provinces in Indonesia with the highest buffalo population, which is responsible for the high accumulation of buffalo manure that can cause environmental and aesthetic problems if left untreated. One of the possible alternatives for solving this issue is by implementing buffalo manure as growth media for microorganisms, e.g. microalgae. In this research, buffalo manure was used as alternative media for Arthospira platensis cultivation. Buffalo manure was taken from Sitoluama village, Laguboti, Toba Regency of North Sumatra Province. Research steps included media and culture preparation, cultivation, sampling, sample analysis and verification of constructed models and validation. Buffalo manure concentration in media is varied from 1 g.L-1 to 8 g.L-1 which is analogous to nitrogen content of 0.002 mg.L-1 to 0.018 mg.L-1. Growth data was used for growth kinetic modelling, which was most satisfactory for Monod model (µmax = 0.5915 day-1, Ks = 0.421 g.L-1).

Abstract

Pichia kudriavzevii 1P4 is a thermotolerant-ethanologenic yeast potential for application in ethanol industry. In this study we evaluated the stress tolerance phenotype of P. kudriavzevii 1P4 in dealing with fermentation related-stresses, including high temperature stress, high sugar content, ethanol content and the fermentation capacity of the particular isolate. Based on spot assay, 1P4 showed stress tolerance phenotype against high sugar concentration for up to 30% sugar content and 10% ethanol stress. In addition, 1P4 was capable to show temperature-stress tolerance phenotype for up to 42oC, suggesting that 1P4 belong to thermotolerant yeast isolate. Fermentative activity was measured by using glucose consumption and ethanol production assay. We evaluated the fermentative and growth rate of 1P4 at various temperature condition which were 27oC, 37oC and 42oC using YPD media (at initial glucose of 2%, 10% and 20%). Interestingly, 1P4 consumed the highest glucose in 20% of concentration at 37oC (15.29%), simultaneously with the highest concentration of ethanol (32.05 g/L ethanol and 0.67 g/L/h ethanol productivity). Cell growth analysis showed that growth of 1P4 isolate increased with higher initial glucose condition yet decreased as temperature during fermentation was raised. The growth rate of 1P4 was found high in 20% initial glucose at 37oC than 2% and 10% at same temperature. In addition, 1P4 exhibited short lag phase at high-temperature fermentation. Our data indicate that 1P4 can potentially be applied as fermentation agent especially in high-temperature ethanol fermentation. Key words: bioethanol production, fermentation related-stress, thermotolerant yeast

Abstract

Gatotan is a raw material to make gatot, an Indonesian fermented food, especially in Central Java, made from cassava tubers. Traditionally, the cassava tubers are sun-dried for several days until the black color appears. However, natural fermentation allowed by many types of microorganisms, especially mold in this process could raise concerns about the food safety issues. Previously, the identifications of molds in gatotan were based on morphological observation. Here, we reported the diversity of molds associated with gatotan using molecular identification method. The molecular identification was based on ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) amplification sequences using combination of ITS4 and ITS5 primers. A total of ten molds were isolated and phylogenetic trees were constructed based on ribosomal DNA sequences. Our results showed that the molds were classified into Lasiodiplodia spp., Trichoderma sp., Aspergillus nomius, Fusarium oxysporum, and Cladosporium sphaerospermum.

Abstract

Bacteriophages are the most abundant entities in earth. The order Caudovirales is the largest and most widespread group among bacterial viruses. The purpose of this study is to characterize bacteriophages from Indonesian environment. During this experiment, we collected sample from Kuningan (West Java) and Buleleng (Bali), Indonesia. We used an overlay agar method with three strains of E. coli as a host (NBRC 13965, NBRC 12713 and NBRC 13168) combined with digestion profiling using three restriction enzymes (PvuII, EcoRV and HincII) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) to characterize the morphology of the phage from Indonesia. Our results showed that phage LIPI13-Bp006 is in a group of Caudovirales and highly similar to Enterobacteria phage EPS7.
