Abstract

Bioethanol as an alternative energy resource, has become essential to be developed as an eco-environmentally energy. Termites, like other eusocial insects, require bacteria in their gut to break-down cellulose biomass into glucose using bacteria that produce cellulolytic enzymes in their guts. The process of converting lignocellulosic biomass into bioethanol offers a solution to two problems faced globally- the production of new energy and the processing of lignocellulosic biomass. Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass requires the use of cellulolytic bacteria. Termites are one of the organisms that possess this capability. The study aimed to isolate and identify of cellulolytic bacteria from termite gut obtained from Bengkulu coastal region. Identification of the new species of cellulolytic bacteria from termite was performed by biomolecular assay. The bacteria isolates were isolated and purified by using DNA kit and the optical density of bacterial DNA isolates was carried out by using nanodrop spectrophotometer. The isolated bacterial strains were amplified by PCR to determine the 16S rRNA gene segment, performed using BLAST-N program and compared with NCBI database. Data sequences of 16S rRNA gene of isolate bacteria from Coptotermes curvignatus showed that the new species were identify as Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis. Whereas data sequences of 16S rRNA gene of isolate bacteria from Macrotermes gilvus showed that the new species were identify as Bacillus paramycoides, Staphylococcus hominis, Cellulomonas taurus, and Acinetobacter nosocomialis.

Abstract

Abstract
South Bengkulu Regency is an area inhabited by the Serawai ethnic group, which is the original ethnic group in Bengkulu Province. They still trust traditional healers ^bahtra^ to cure diseases. Documentation of medicinal plants has not been well documented so that many future generations have lost knowledge about medicinal plants. Ethnobiology studies are one way to explore this potential so that knowledge can be recorded well. This research aims to carry out exploration and documentation of medicinal plants which were developed as learning resources based on local wisdom. The research was conducted in the villages of Padang Jawi, Bandar Agung and Jeranglah Tinggi, South Bengkulu Regency. The selection of informants in the form of Bahtera, traditional elders and people who understand medicinal plants was carried out using a purposive sampling method. The results of the research found 87 species of 53 families of medicinal plants,for various diseases such as cancer, asthma, malaria, and the others. Medicinal plants are found wild and cultivated. Family taxa with a large diversity of species are the Zingiberaceae (7sp), Poaceae (6sp), Asteraceae (6sp). The existence of plants that are easy to find can be used as a learning resource based on local wisdom.

Abstract

Science literacy is one of the essential skills in the 21st century. To enhance students^ science literacy, stimulation and practice are needed during the learning process, including the use of textbooks that can facilitate the development of science literacy. This research aims to identify the teaching materials to stimulate science literacy of students. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The sample in this study consists of two lecturers and 60 students from the Biology Education Program at UNIB who have completed the biotechnology course. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Subsequently, the obtained data was analyzed qualitatively in a descriptive manner. The results of the observation indicate that the course plan and the teaching materials used do not yet meet the demands of the latest curriculum and the needs of the students. The interview results show that in teaching, the lecturers have been using the latest reference books, but they do not yet have a structured specific teaching book. The learning model used is Project Based Learning (PjBL) with assignments that have not yet measured aspects of science literacy. The results of the questionnaire analysis show that 91.67% of students find it difficult to understand the reference books used, 75% of students struggle to connect societal issues with the theories studied, 100% of students have not utilized scientific methodology steps in completing project assignments, and 100% of students express the need for engaging, contextual, and easily understandable teaching materials. Thus, it can be concluded that in biotechnology course, a structured textbook is needed that aligns with the learning objectives, contains contextual material relevant to societal issues, has a learning design that guides students in the project work using scientific methodology, and is engaging and easily to understand.

Abstract

The main aim of this research is the isolation of chitinolytic bacteria from Guano and hence the production of liquid biofertilizer. Guano is the accumulated excrement of seabirds, bats, and seals, which is rich in nutrients like nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium. It has been historically used as an effective organic fertilizer due to its high concentration of these essential nutrients that promote plant growth. Guano is particularly valuable in agriculture and gardening for improving soil fertility. Based on observations using the cultivation method, a total of 10 bacterial isolates were obtained. Three isolates showed clear zones around their colonies, namely chitinolytic bacteria GG9, GG1, and GG10 on chitin agar media, indicated by the formation of a clear zone surrounding the colonies. In the treatment with Guano liquid biofertilizer, the most effective dosage was 45 ml/L of water (P4), resulting in an average root length of water spinach plants of 4.4 cm.

Abstract

The &#945-9 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (alpha 9-nAChR) has recently emerged as a candidate molecule for targeted therapy of triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs). To characterize the therapeutic role of alpha 9-nAChR on TNBCs, the alpha 9-nAChR-based bispecific antibody (alpha 9-BsAb) and the alpha 9 BsAb-liposomal doxorubicin conjugates (alpha 9-BsAb/Lipo-Dox) were prepared and assessed. Compared to the group treated with Lipo-Dox alone, a markedly increased nuclear accumulation of alpha 9-BsAb/Lipo-Dox was observed in MDA-MB-231 cells, indicating that alpha 9- nAChR-mediated drug guiding to MDA-MB-231 cells led to enhanced DNA targeting. The therapeutic efficacy of both candidates was assessed in the MTAM (electrospun poly-L-lactic acid microtube array membranes) and TNBC xenografts. The results revealed that the candidates effectively inhibited cell growth within MTAM and tumor growth in TNBC xenografts. Interestingly, a significant reduction in vascular density was observed on MTAM, suggesting that alpha 9-nAChRs play a critical role in angiogenesis and that &#945-9-BsAb could effectively block this phenomenon. The endothelial cell tube formation assay was conducted to confirm the angiogenic role of alpha 9 nAChRs, revealing a significant reduction in loop numbers in a medium supplemented with alpha 9-BsAb, aligned with the mRNA and protein expression levels observed in tumor samples. These findings indicate that the potential drugs significantly inhibited the expression of angiogenic factors such as VEGF-A, VEGFR2, and phosphorylated VEGFR2 in TNBC xenografts. Moreover, data acquired from disease ontology (DO) and the gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis in TNBC xenografts exhibited a strongly positive correlation between alpha 9-nAChRs and tumor angiogenesis, cell adhesion, and migration, which was consistent with both in vivo and in vitro angiogenesis studies. Together, alpha 9 nAChR emerges as a promising therapeutic molecule and a potential target for drug d

Abstract

Nicotine acts as an angiogenic factor by stimulating endogenous cholinergic pathways. Several subtypes of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) have been demonstrated to be closely correlated to the formation and progression of different types of cancers. Recently, several studies have found that nicotinic acetylcholine receptors &#945-9 (&#945-9-nAChRs) are highly expressed in breast tumors, especially in tumors derived from patients diagnosed at advanced stages. In vitro studies have demonstrated that activation of &#945-9-nAChRs is associated with increased proliferation and migration of breast cancer. To study the tumor-promoting role of &#945-9-nAChRs in breast cancers, we generated a novel anti-&#945-9-nAChR and methoxy-polyethylene glycol (mPEG) bispecific antibody (&#945-9 BsAb) for dissecting the molecular mechanism on &#945-9-nAChR-mediated tumor progression. Unexpectedly, we discovered the angiogenic role of &#945-9-nAChR in nicotine-induced neovascularization of tumors. It revealed &#945-9 BsAbs reduced nicotine-induced endothelial cell tube formation, blood vessel development in matrigel plug assay and angiogenesis in microtube array membrane murine model (MTAMs). To unbraid the molecular mechanism of &#945-9-nAChR in nicotine-mediated angiogenesis, the &#945-9 BsAbs were applied and revealed the inhibitory roles in nicotine-induced production of hypoxia-inducible factor-2 alpha (HIF-2&#945-), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), phosphorylated vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (p-VEGFR2), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) from triple-negative breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231), suggesting &#945-9-nAChRs played an important role in nicotine-induced angiogenesis. To confirm our results, the shRNA targeting &#945-9-nAChRs was designed and used to silence &#945-9-nAChR expression and then evaluated the angiogenic role of &#945-9-nAChRs. The results showed &#945-9 shRNA also played an inhibitory effect in blocking the nicotine-induced angiogenic signaling. Taken together, &#945-9-nAChR played a critical role in nicotine-induced angiogenesis and this bispecific antibody (&#945-9 BsAb) may serve as a potential therapeutic candidate for treatments of the &#945-9 positive cancers.

Abstract

Urban biodiversity plays a critical role in shaping effective urban planning and conservation strategies. A key factor in promoting urban biodiversity is the management and evaluation of breeding habitats. In this study, we assessed the local and landscape factors that support breeding habitats for native frog species in Jakarta, Indonesia. We surveyed 25 breeding sites, categorized by varying management intensities. Our results revealed that different frog species exhibit diverse habitat preferences for breeding- some species are capable of utilizing constructed or managed environments, while others depend on more natural or minimally managed habitats. These findings emphasize the need to incorporate multiple criteria when designing strategies to support breeding habitats for all native frog species in Jakarta. We also explored specific factors influencing urban frogs^ selection of breeding sites, providing insights into the drivers of habitat preference in urban environments.

Abstract

Tyrosinase enzyme catalyses L-tyrosine substrate through oxidation, forming L DOPA and converting to melanins whereby excess melanin promotes hyperpigmentation, ageing and other skin-related diseases. Thus, inducing tyrosinase inhibitors can lower melanin production to achieve whitening properties in the skin. Nowadays, some whitening products such as contain hydroquinone and heavy metals are harmful to human skin. This research aimed to produce 19 nontoxic halogenated tyrosinase inhibitors synthetically using Grover-Shah and Shah (GSS) method and their tyrosinase inhibitory activity using tyrosinase mushroom Agaricus bisporus assay with kojic acid as a positive control. Five compounds were found to inhibit the enzyme with inhibition percentage of more than 50%. Among these active compounds, two compounds (11 and 12) showed potency. Their half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) and their enzyme kinetic analysis were determined. The IC50 values for compounds 11 (75 ug/ml) and 12 (100 ug/ml) in L-DOPA substrate demonstrate its strong action with kojic acid as control (7.8 ug/ml). Enzyme kinetic analysis demonstrated that compounds 11 and 12 as uncompetitive inhibitors whereby this kinetic data were supported by visualized docking analysis with tyrosinase protein. These data suggest that halogenated derivatives have the potential to be developed as new candidates for skin whitening agents in cosmetic industries and for pigmentation related diseases.

Abstract

Acne which is caused by Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria is the most common skin problem among adolescents and young adults. Topical antibiotics like Tetracycline are commonly used to treat acne but their effectiveness has declined as bacteria develop antibiotic resistance. Thus, this research emphasizes the anti-acne property of new synthetic derivatives of halogenated xanthone and benzophenone since the isolated xanthone and benzophenone derivatives from plants has reported to have antimicrobial properties against acne causing bacteria. For the synthesis of the derivatives, the modified method reported by Grover, Shah and Shah were utilized. Next, the anti-acne potency of the synthesized against S. aureus (ATCC 6538 and ATCC 10832) was screen using well diffusion assay (WDD) and active compounds were selected to identify their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values. Next, the computational analysis of the desired derivatives was performed by molecular docking with the proteins of P. acnes (PDB ID: 8CVO) and S. aureus (PDB ID: 1JIJ) in Biovia Discovery Studio and the toxicity and druglikeness properties was predicted using SwissADME. Based on the screening results through WDD, compound 1 showed promising anti-acne activity with the recorded inhibition zone of 15.00 mm and 30.67 mm (for S. aureus ATCC 6538 and ATCC 10832 respectively) while for compound 2, 14.33 mm and 17.33 mm for S. aureus ATCC 6538 and ATCC 10832 respectively. Then, the MIC and MBC were evaluated, compound 1 showed 0.250 mg/mL and 0.500 mg/mL respectively for S. aureus ATCC 6538, 0.016 mg/mL and 0.500 mg/mL respectively for S. aureus ATCC 10832. While compound 2 showed 0.062 mg/mL and 0.125 mg/mL respectively for S. aureus ATCC 6538 and 0.031 mg/mL and 0.063 mg/mL respectively for S. aureus ATCC 10832. Next, compound 1 and 2 reveals good binding affinity values towards P. acnes and S. aureus and better interaction with the protein active site. Additionally, the results from the ADMET analysis showed that compound 1 and 2 is predicted to have great drug potential for acne treatment. Therefore, these findings indicated that compound 1 and 2 could be possible to use as the better anti-acne formulation with a guarantee for healthy skin.

Abstract

Curculigo latifolia is a herb without a stem that grows naturally in Western Malaysia. It belongs to the Hypoxidaceae family, which includes the genera Curculigo and Hypoxis. It is a shrub with leaves up to 70 centimeters in size. There are 30 accepted species of Curculigo, known for their diverse secondary metabolites, especially norlignans and phenolic glycosides. However, the chemical properties of Curculigo species remain underexplored. In this study, bioactivity assays and liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) along with molecular networking (MN) were used to analyze the metabolome of rhizomes and leaves of Curculigo latifolia, resulting in the discovery of several novel norlignan derivatives. Rhizomes and leaves were fractionated and screened for antioxidant and antibacterial properties. The most active fractions were annotated and identified through MS/MS-based molecular networking, leading to the characterization of high-abundance compounds. Using a bioassay-guided and MN approach, two novel compounds, Curculatifolia (1) and Rooperol A (2), were isolated. The structures were elucidated and characterized through NMR, DIMS, and FTIR spectroscopic analyses.

Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science, Universitas Negeri Jakarta, Jl. Rawamangun Muka, Jakarta Timur, 13220, Indonesia


Abstract

This study examines the variation of conceptual understanding of students in grade XI MIPA regarding salt hydrolysis through phenomenography. The study, which was conducted at SMA Negeri 58 Jakarta in the 2022/2023 academic year, used qualitative methods and involved 36 students from class XI MIPA A. Data were collected through observation sheets, reflective journals, student worksheets, and interviews, and analyzed using Akerlinds (2005) phenomenographic approach, which includes transcribing interviews, identifying key phrases, categorizing descriptions, providing examples, and organizing the categories into a hierarchy based on their complexity. The results showed four levels of understanding among the students. At the lowest category A, six students only recognized the reaction between salt and water. In category B, three students understood the reaction between salt ions and water ions. Category C included ten students who understood that not all salt ions react with water ions, although they did not fully understand which ions reacted or did not react. The highest understanding, category D, included three students who knew that only ions of weak acids or bases react with water. Most students were in the C category, which indicates a general level of understanding. This study underscores the importance of prior knowledge and strategic learning approaches in mastering the concept of salt hydrolysis.

Abstract

\(Salmonella\) \(typhi\) is bacteria that lead to typhoid fever and one of the causes of death due to bacterial infections. In Indonesia, typhoid fever occurs around 1.100 cases per 100.000 population per year with a mortality rate of 3.1-10.4 percent. It is necessary to develop a rapid and accurate detection of \(S.\) \(typhi\). This study aims to test primers targeting the \(pipB\) gene. The method used primer design, DNA isolation, annealing temperature optimization, confirmation, specificity, and sensitivity test. The \(pipB\) gene has a function as an autophagia inhibitor in human. The \(pipB\) primer can amplified a DNA fragment of 196 bp at the optimum annealing temperature between 55-61 degrees Celsius. Confirmation test with real-time PCR found that \(pipB\) primers amplified at cycle to 13.11\(\pm\)0.07 with a Tm value of 84.13 degrees Celsius\(\pm\)0.07. The specificity test of these primers could distinguish target bacteria from non-target bacteria based on their Ct and Tm values. The sensitivity test of the primer pair obtained a LoD value of 55.78\(\times\)\(10^2\) CFU equivalent to 3.2 pg/\(\mu\)L. In conclusions, \(S.\) \(typhi\) \(pipB\) primers successfully detected \(S.\) \(typhi\) bacterial DNA by real-time PCR method. The next study can involve detecting \(S.\) \(typhi\) in artificially contaminated foods.

Abstract

\(Proteus\) \(mirabilis\) is pathogenic bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal infections, bacteremia, and Urinary Tract Infections (UTI). Therefore, it is necessary to have a fast, sensitive, specific, and accurate detection method to identify \(Proteus\) \(mirabilis\). This study aims to determine the confirmation, specificity, and sensitivity test of the \(hpmA\) gene primer to detect \(Proteus\) \(mirabilis\) quick and precise using the real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction method. Gradient Polymerase Chain Reaction results showed the \(hpmA\) primer has an amplicons length of 195 bp and the optimum annealing temperature at 60 degrees Celsius. The primer pair produced Ct value of 10.40\(\pm\)0.18 and showed one peak in the melting curve with Tm value of 81.84 degrees Celsius \(\pm\)0.02 by real-time PCR. Furthermore, the \(hpmA\) primer was also able to distinguish target and non-target bacteria based on the difference in Ct and Tm value formed. Based on these results, the concentration of bacterial DNA that can be detected by primers reached 3.2 pg/\(\mu\)L, equivalent to the concentration of target bacteria that can be detected by primers is 10.24\(\times\)\(10^{2}\)CFU. In the next step, \(hpmA\) primer will be developed to detect \(Proteus\) \(mirabilis\) in artificial contaminated samples using real-time PCR.

Abstract

\(Shigella\) \(flexneri\) and \(Salmonella\) \(typhi\) are foodborne bacteria that can cause to severe illness even death. This research aimed to validate the confirmation test for the primer pair of the \(sfmD\) and \(gspA\) genes of \(S.\) \(flexneri\), and the \(sifA\) gene of \(S.\) \(typhi\) using rt-PCR. Previous research using the mic rt-PCR Cycler instrument showed that the \(sfmD\) primer amplified the target gene with a Ct of 14.72 and a Tm of 82.39 degrees Celsius, the \(gspA\) primer with a Ct of 14.80 and a Tm of 79.34 degrees Celsius, and the \(sifA\) primer with a Ct of 17.08 and a Tm of 82.25 degrees Celsius. In this study, a validation test was conducted using the ViiA-7 rt-PCR System. It shows that the \(sfmD\) primer pair amplified the target gene with a Ct of 16.535 and a Tm of 81.7 degrees Celsius, the \(gspA\) primer with a Ct of 17.097 and a Tm of 78.231 degrees Celsius, and the \(sifA\) primer with a Ct of 17.002 and a Tm of 82.111 degrees Celsius. These primer pairs successfully amplified the target bacteria using the rt-PCR method with the ViiA-7 rt-PCR System. The next steps could involve specificity and sensitivity testing validation.

Abstract

\(Pseudomonas\) \(aeruginosa\) is opportunistic-pathogenic bacteria that cause nosocomial infections. These bacteria that can grow at various temperatures and can be found in diverse environments, enable for \(Pseudomonas\) \(aeruginosa\) to become a contaminant in food during food processing, storage and distribution. This study aims to determine the potential of the \(aprA\) gene primers to detect \(Pseudomonas\) \(aeruginosa\) quick and accurate using the real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction method. The \(aprA\) gene can destroy the microbial recognition molecules thereby reducing the immune of the host response to infection. \(aprA\) can amplify DNA fragments from \(Pseudomonas\) \(aeruginosa\) with an amplicon length of 171 bp at an annealing temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. In the confirmation test, \(aprA\) produced a Ct value of 17.335\(\pm\)0.215 with Tm value of 88.72 degrees Celsius\(\pm\)0.02. \(aprA\) can also differentiate target and non-target bacteria in the specificity test based on diversity in Ct and Tm values. Based on the sensitivity test, \(aprA\) has a detection limit value of 16 picogram per-microliter equivalent to 1.43\(\times\)\(10^4\) CFU with a Ct value of 33.25. Based on these results, \(aprA\) can detect \(Pseudomonas\) \(aeruginosa\) DNA quick and accurate using the rt-PCR method. This research will continue with artificial testing on food.

Abstract

\(Klebsiella\) \(pneumoniae\) is the most nosocomial pathogenic bacteria found in the hospital that causes infections such as pneumonia, liver abscesses, and urinary tract infections. The \(ecpA\) gene is one of the target genes of \(Klebsiella\) \(pneumoniae\) that functions in biofilm development to increase the ability of bacteria to colonize and as the main subunit of fimbriae. This study aims to determine the confirmation, sensitivity, and specificity test of pathogenic bacteria by real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction method. The\(ecpA\) primer has an amplicons length of 170 bp and has an annealing temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. These primer pair produced Ct test at 16.78\(\pm\)0.04 and Tm value of 86.33 degrees Celsius\(\pm\)0.12. The specificity test of the \(ecpA\) gene successfully differentiated between target and non-target bacteria based on Ct and Tm value. Therefore, these primers can detect \(Klebsiella\) \(pneumoniae\) bacteria at the smallest concentration until 1.06 pg/\(\mu\)L equivalent to 1.47\(\times\)\(10^4\) CFU. Based on these results, the \(ecpA\) primer successfully detected \(Klebsiella\) \(pneumoniae\) bacteria quickly, specifically and sensitively using the rt-PCR method. In the next step, these primer pairs can detect the artificial contaminated samples using rt-PCR method.
