Status Resistensi Vektor Filariasis terhadap Insektisida Bendiocarb Asal Kabupaten Sumba Barat Daya

The aim of this study is to know resistance status of filariasis vectors from Southwest Sumba to bendiocarb 0,1% insecticide. Sampling was carried out in 4 sub-districts from 11 sub-districts. The larvae were collected randomly from water containers. The collected larvae was than taken to laboratory to be maintaned until became fully grown mosquitos. As many as 25 adult mosquitos that have been took were identified to ascertain the type of mosquito suspected to be a filariasis vectors. Test of resistance to bendiocarb 0,1% was done using impregnated paper refers to the WHO method. In this test the sample was divided into two groups, namely the test group and the control group with each sample group used was 25 mosquito. The test results were obtained by counting the number of mosquitoes that knock down mosquitoes and dead mosquitoes. The test observations were recorded every 15 minutes on the first 1 hour then the observation continued for 24 post holding. The result shows that filariasis vectors from Southwest Sumba is resisten to bendiocarb 0,1% insecticide with the average percentage of deaths mosquitos of 70,27%

Catalytic cracking performance of alkaline-treated zeolite Beta in the terms of acid sites properties and their accessibility

The zeolite Beta is considered as a promising additive for FCC catalyst in diesel oil production. In this article, it is shown that hierarchical zeolite Beta obtained by an optimized desilication procedure increases diesel and propylene yields during gas oil cracking reaction. The alkaline treatment of zeolite Beta (Si/Al = 22) by desilication with NaOH and NaOH&TBAOH was investigated. The catalytic performance improvement of desilicated zeolite Beta has been rationalized by deep characterization of the samples including X-ray diffraction, low-temperature adsorption of nitrogen, solid-state 29Si MAS NMR and IR studies of acidity. Finally, the catalytic performance of the zeolites Beta was evaluated in the cracking of n-decane, 1,3,5-tri-iso-propylbenzene, and vacuum gas oil. It was found that desilication with NaOH&TBAOH ensures the more uniform intracrystalline mesoporosity with the formation of narrower mesopores, while preserving full crystallinity resulting in catalysts with the most appropriated acidity and then with better catalytic performance.Also, M.C.I.L., J.M.T. and F.R. thank financial support from the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness through the Severo Ochoa program (SEV-2012-0267) as well as operating grants Consolider Ingenio Multicat (CSD-2009-00050) and MAT-2012-3856-0O2-01.Tarach, K.; Gora-Marek, K.; Tekla, J.; Brylewska, K.; Datka, J.; Mlekodaj, K.; Makowski, W....

Comparing the Efficacy of MALDI-TOF MS and Sequencing-Based Identification Techniques (Sanger and NGS) to Monitor the Microbial Community of Irrigation Water

In order to intensify and guarantee the agricultural productivity and thereby to be able to feed the world’s rapidly growing population, irrigation has become very important. In parallel, the limited water resources lead to an increase in usage of poorly characterized sources of water, which is directly linked to a higher prevalence of foodborne diseases. Therefore, analyzing the microorganisms or even the complete microbiome of irrigation water used for food production can prevent the growing numbers of such cases. In this study, we compared the efficacy of MALDI-TOF Mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS) identification to 16S rRNA gene Sanger sequencing of waterborne microorganisms. Furthermore, we analyzed the whole microbial community of irrigation water using high-throughput 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The identification results of MALDI-TOF MS and 16S rRNA gene Sanger sequencing were almost identical at species level (66.7%; 64.3%). Based on the applied cultivation techniques, Acinetobacter spp., Enterobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., and Brevundimonas spp. were the most abundant cultivable genera. In addition, the uncultivable part of the microbiome was dominated by Proteobacteria followed by Actinobacteria, Bacteroidota, Patescibacteria, and Verrucomicrobiota. Our findings indicate that MALDI-TOF MS offers a fast, reliable identification method and can act as an alternative to 16S rRNA gene Sanger sequencing of isolates. Moreover, the results suggest that MALDI-TOF MS paired with 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing have the potential to support the routine monitoring of the microbiological quality of irrigation water
