Metabolisme Benzonitril oleh Flavobacterium SP. NUB 1

Metabolism of Benzonitriles by Flavobacterium sp. NUB 1. Flavobacterium sp. NUB 1 was isolated from industrial waste of PT. Petrokimia Gresik. The bacterium was able to utilize benzonitrile and acetonitrile and propionitril as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen. Growth on benzonitrile gave higher growth rate and biomass yield than growth on acetonitrile and propionitrile. When Flavovobacterium sp. NUB1 grew on benzonitril 15 mM , the doubling time is 9 hours 54 minutes and the specific growth rate (?) was 0,07 h-1. Whole cell of Flavobacterium sp. NUB 1 could hydrolyzed aromatic and aliphatic nitriles. The bacteria isolate has ability in metabolism of acetonitrile greater than benzonitrile. Activity of nitrile hydratase and amidase are more dominant than nitrilase in metabolism of benzonitrile

Pertumbuhan Optimal Bakteri Laut Pseudomonas Aeruginosa LBF-1-0132 Dalam Senyawa Piren

Pyrene is a high molecular weight chemical compound belongs to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) group that are difficult to degrade by environment. Biodegradation techniques using indigenous marine bacteria are used to be as an effort to reduce pollutants that are carsinogenic. The objectives of this research are to screen of 18 marine bacteria isolates qualitatively by sublimation method and quantitatively by growth test and to optimize degradation activity of marine bacteria isolates by pyrene concentration and cell concentration. Identification by 16S rDNA and phylogenetic tree analysis were conducted to determine the molecular basis of bacterial identity. The result of sublimation showed that 15 isolates were positive result for pyrene degradation and classified to 3 groups. The first group consisted of 5 isolates that can produce clear zone, while the second group are 5 isolates with isolate color changes. The third group have both of activities. Growth test showed that isolate LBF-1-0132 has high potency to degrade pyrene compound. Isolate LBF-1-0132 is capable of degrading pyrene compounds optimally at concentration of 600 ppm and optimum cell concentration of 20. Based on 16S rDNA gene analysis, isolate LBF-1-0132 is Pseudomonas aeruginosa with 98% identity

Pertumbuhan Bakteri Laut Shewanella Indica LBF-1-0076 Dalam Naftalena Dan Deteksi Gen Naftalena Dioksigenase - (the Growth of Marine Bacteria Shewanella Indica LBF-1-0076 in Naphthalene and Naphthalene Dioxygenase Gene Detection)

Crude oil exploitation which often occured offshore can cause water pollution in the sea since its contains naphthalene which is a hazardous compounds. This research used marine bacteria LBF-1-0076 that have ability in naphthalene degradation. This research aimed to study the parameter effect of naphthalene and cell concentration toward marine bacteria LBF-1-0076. This research also identified isolate LBF-1-0076 and detected the encode gene of naphthalene dioxygenase. Based on growth test result, the optimum naphthalene degradationby isolate LBF-1-0076 occured in 75 ppm naphthalene concentration with 15cell concentration. The result of 16S rDNA gene analysis showed that LBF-1-0076 was identified as Shewanella indica strain 0102 with identical value 99%. The result of naphthalene dioxygenase gene detection using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) showed that the isolate contained naphthalene dioxygenase gene with size ±377 bp. Therefore, LBF-1-0076 potential as bioremediation agent to solve crude oil contamination in the sea

Pencirian Produksi Amilase oleh Saccaromyces Cerevisiae W303A Rekombinan

Characterization of Amylase Production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae W303A Recombinants. Cloning of amylase gene from Endomycopsis fibuligera ITB.R.cc.64 into S. cerevisiae W303a can effectively increase the yeast function to digest starch directly into ethanol. Production of amylase by S. cerevisiae W303a recombinants (I and P) were done by growing in yeast peptone starch (YPS) medium. The result showed that the recombinants could be produced of amylase by gave clear zone after staining by iodium vapor. The optimum condition of production of amylase by S. cerevisiae W303a recombinants were pH 7.0, 40?C temperature incubation, and gave maximum activity after 36 hours incubation. Amylase activity of I was higher than P recombinant for these condition respectively
