Detection of Antimicrobial Compounds Isolated from Several Tropical Lentinus by Bioautographic Method

The antimicrobial compounds extracted either from culture filtrates or mycelia of several tropical Lentinus species could be detected their existences and locations by bioautographic method. For this purpose, the crude extracts were deposited as spots on silica gel plates and developed in a n-butanol-acetic acid-water mixture (3:1:1). The dry silica gel plates were then seeded with Bacillus subtilis and incubated at 35 oC for one night. On these plates, the extracts were separated into several bioautographic spots or growth inhibition zones. In parallel, the spots were detected by viewing with chemical revelations or under ultraviolet radiations at 254 nm or 366 nm. On silica gel thin-layer chromatograms, the crude extracts of Lentinus were separated into several bioautographic spots; for the filtrate extracts of L. squarrosulus 55A into three spots (Rfs 0.75, 0.50, 0.17), the mycelial extracts of L. sajor-caju LSC8 into two spots (Rfs 0.77, 0.54), the mycelial extract of L. torulosus LU3 into two spots (Rfs 0.77, 0.48), the filtrate extracts of L. cladopus LC6 into one spot (Rf 0.76) but the mycelial extracts of this mushroom separated into two spots (Rfs 0.79, 0.54), the filtrate and mycelial extracts of L. cladopus LC4 into three spots respectively (Rfs 0.75, 0.61, 0.45 for the filtrate extract and Rfs 0.83, 0.73, 0.60 for mycelial extract). By this method, the active compounds were detected directly and it is a usual method for further work on the purification of the target compounds

Antioxidant Activity of Endophytic Bacteria Derived from Hoya multiflora Blume Plant and Their Cellular Activities on Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Endophytic bacteria isolated from plant tissues can produce the same secondary metabolites as their host plants. One of the metabolites that the bacteria can produce is antioxidants. This research aimed to analyze and measure the antioxidant activities of two endophytic bacteria, i.e. Bacillus siamensis HMB1 and Bacillus aryabhattai HMD4 cultures, derived from Hoya multiflora Blume plant, a tropical epiphytic plant species that grows in Indonesia, and to identify their cellular effects on Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The active compounds went through extraction process, and the antioxidant activities were measured, the extracts went under phytochemical analysis, and their phenol and flavonoid contents were measured. In vitro analysis was carried out using S. pombe. The results of this research indicated that both cultures had antioxidant activities, where HMB1 showed the highest IC50 value (51.18 mg/ml) among all. In vitro analysis indicated that HMD4 bacterial crude extract in 250 ppm concentration showed the highest resistance effect and significantly enhanced S. pombe growth. In addition, the results of the LC-MS analysis suggested that a total of 14 compounds potentially had antioxidant activity

Peningkatan Efikasi Cendawan Lecanicillium Lecanii Untuk Mengendalikan Telur Hama Kepik Coklat Pada Kedelai

Lecanicillium lecanii is considered as an effective entomopathogenic fungi to control eggs of brown stink bug on soybean. Its efficacy is indicated by reducing the level of hatching of brown stink bug eggs. One factor affecting the efficacy of the entomopathogen in the field is its intolerant to sunlight exposure. A research was conducted in the screen house of the Indonesian Legumes and Tuber Crops Research Institute (ILETRI), Malang, from March to August 2008. The study was aimed at determining the effect of addition of vegetable oils on the efficacy of lecanii to control stink bug eggs on soybean. The trial was arranged in a randomized complete design with two factors. The first factor consisted of three vegetable oils i.e, peanut oil, soybean oil, and coconut oil. The second factor consisted of four oil concentration i.e; 2 ml/l, 5 ml/l, 10 ml/l, and without oil (control). Result showed that addition of vegetable oils as adjuvant increased significantly the growth and development of the entomopathogen, as indicated by the increase of colony diameter and number of conidia of lecanii in vitro. The fungal conidia persisted on the soybean plants until seven days after the adjuvant application at the rate of 10 ml/l water, while the conidia persisted only for one day on plants which was not applied with the vegetable oils. Hatchability of the brown stink bug eggs was only 20% when peanut oil was used as an adjuvant. Not all hatched eggs of the brown stink bug developed into adult, hence, the number of adult bugs that cause damages on soybean pods were reduced. In general, the addition of vegetable oil increased efficacy of the entomopathogen up to 40%. Among the vegetable oils tested, peanut oil was the most effective to increase the efficacy of lecanii to control brown stink bug egg on soybean
