Although P is abundant in soils, it is a major limiting factor for plant growth as it is in an unavailable form for roots uptake. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) has ability to convert insoluble form of P to an available form. This study was aimed at screening and characterizing phosphate-solubilizing bacteria from manure and different soils and to ascertain a potential benefit to use mixed cultures to improve P solubilization. A total of 12 PSB colonies were isolated on Pikovskaya's agar medium containing tricalcium phosphate. Out of 12 bacterial isolates, 2 isolates showed high phosphate solubilization index (2.17 and 1.83, respectively) were selected for further study. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, PSB3 was closely related to Burkholderia contaminans (99%), and PSB11 was closely related to Acinetobacter baumannii (99%). The mean P dissolved in liquid cultures of PSB3 and PSB11 in a 14-day -1 incubation were 96.7 and 39.3 mg l , respectively. Mixed inoculation of B. contaminans PSB3 and A. baumannii PSB11 could not increase the solubilization activity significantly, suggesting there is antagonistic behavior of one isolate towards another. As the interaction of these two isolates may be antagonistic, co-inoculation of these bacteria for P solubilization is not recommended. However, further study is needed to confirm these results.","PeriodicalId":18546,"journal":{"name":"Microbiology Indonesia","volume":"12 1","pages":"1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85901553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An auto-inducible Pylb promoter that is potential to provide inducer-free enzyme production was cloned and introduced into xylanase recombinant system in B. subtilis DB104 by PCR cloning and protoplast transformation. A 200 bp target gene was successfully inserted in between xynCM1 ORF -coding for B. halodurans CM1 xylanase- and its native promoter sequence at the upstream region. The disruption of the native promoter was intended to replace the native promoter with Pylb. Recombinant xylanase gene under Pylb was successfully expressed in B. subtilis DB104 and the enzyme was produced at stationary phase. Different media with various concentrations of glucose and nitrogen were used to optimize recombinant xylanase expression. It achieved a higher level of xylanase expression compared to wild-type and recombinant xylanase with native promoter B. subtilis in media containing a 2-fold recipe of LB media thus leads to increase cell density and xylanase expression (81.461 U mL-1).","PeriodicalId":18546,"journal":{"name":"Microbiology Indonesia","volume":"26 7 1","pages":"2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74921313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Crude extract of star anise was obtained using ethanol and acetone with maceration method for 3 days, then diluted to 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% (w/v). Well diffusion was conducted against three food spoilage bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus cereus).

This selected extract was used to test the extract stability against 4 levels of heating temperature (60, 70, 80, and 90°C) for 2 levels of heating time (15 and 30 minutes), and 4 levels of pH (4, 5, 6, and 7). Based on our results, different heating treatment and pH caused extract instability. Star anise extract was more stable at 60°C for 15 minutes heating treatment and pH 4, which resulting the lowest inhibition zone reduction compared to control extract.

This research was aimed to investigate the potential use of biosurfactant-producing mixotrophic bacteria as an alternative to chemical reagents during bioflotation and biobeneficiation process. Thirteen bacterial strains were investigated for their ability to produce biosurfactants and their effects on the surface properties of pyrite minerals. Bacteria-pyrite interaction experimental results showed that pyrite surface properties became more hydrophilic in the experimental systems inoculated with bacteria adapted with pyrite for 48 h than that without bacterial adaptation to pyrite, which was evidenced by the decrease in the contact angle of pyrite minerals by up to 50%. This evidence was also confirmed by the highest emulsifying index value (51.6%) attained during the bacteria-pyrite interaction. Hence, these bacteria can potentially be applied to selective flotation as pyrite depressants.","PeriodicalId":18546,"journal":{"name":"Microbiology Indonesia","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87043095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, mass production of Arthrospiraplatensis is hindered by the relatively high price of the growth media. Recently, it is discovered that Arthrospiraplatensis can be cultivated using buffalo dung as an alternative medium. Buffalo dung is an excellent source of nitrogen and phosphorus which are principal macronutrients for the growth of Arthospiraplatensis. In addition to nitrogen and phosphorus, carbon is also a macronutrient that is important to the growth of microalgae. The carbon source used by the microalgae is carbon dioxide, which is consumed through photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide can be derived directly from the atmosphere as atmospheric CO2 existing as much as 0.04%-v/v in air, which can be provided directly using an aeration pump into the growth medium microalgae. During the aeration process, CO2 mass transfer occurs from the gaseous phase into the liquid phase. This research aims to investigate the effect of the aeration rate on the growth of the blue-green microalgae Arthrospiraplatensisusing buffalo dung media as an alternative medium. Arthrospiraplatensis will be cultivated on buffalo dung media using various aeration rates to determine the effect of aeration on the specific growth rate (µ). The air will also be pumped into the growth medium without Arthrospiraplatensis at the specific aeration rates to determine the mass transfer coefficient (kLa) that occurs from the air leading to growth medium.
