Neuroglobin (Ngb) is a newly discovered globin that is found in large numbers in neurons. Brain cells are very sensitive to lack of oxygen and can begin to die within five minutes after the oxygen supply is cut off. Hypoxic conditions of brain tissue are ischemic in the area of the bleeding center This study aims to design and test the specificity of the Neuroglobin Rattus norvegicus mRNA gene in silico as a nucleotide capable of reading neuroglobin gene expression. The neuroglobin gene sequence was obtained using a \"nucleotide\" search menu provided by NCBI GenBank and designed using Geneious Prime bioinformatics software. The neuroglobin gene sequence used in this study was Rattus norvegicus mRNA with accession number NM_033359.3|:1-1,773. Synthesized primary pairs are optimized using PCR gradients. PCR products were analyzed by electrophoresis using 1.5% agarose gel, 100 V for 27 minutes. The results obtained one forward primer for Rattus norvegicus neuroglobin (Ngb) which has a length of 20 bases with the order of 5' AGTCTTAGCCTCTCCCCCAG -3' and reverse primer has a length of 20 bases with the order of 5' GTCTACAGAACCACGGCACAcx-3' product size 803 bp. The difference Tm in this pair of primers is 0.9 0C. The gradient PCR results showed the thickest and clearest DNA bands were at 57.7°C. Primers with the best primary criteria for neuroglobin genes were obtained with an amplicon size of 803 bp and an aneealing temperature of 57.7 °C. The design results meet the requirements of good criteria so that the primary candidate design results can be used for the PCR process.","PeriodicalId":9003,"journal":{"name":"BioScience","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139308576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bioethanol is one example of the most commonly used biofuel. Microorganisms of thermophilic bacteria are known to contribute to the production of bioethanol. Thermophilic bacteria are efficient against high temperature conditions so as to minimize contamination. Production of bioethanol can also use joint culture (consortium). Bioethanol production using a microbial biculture consortium is known to significantly increase the level of bioethanol production. The purpose of this study was to determine the compatibility and to determine the optimum potential of the thermophilic bacterial biculture consortium of Sapan Sungai Aro hot water for bioethanol production. This research is a type of descriptive research. To test the cooperation between consortium isolates of thermophilic bacteria producing bioethanol, a compatibility test was carried out using the disk diffusion method. Then the consortium isolates were fermented in liquid TMM (Thermophilic Minimum Media) medium, the bioethanol content was measured after distillation using a pycnometer. The results of the bacterial compatibility test showed that there was one pair of isolates that were not compatible, namely SSA 8 & SSA 14 due to the presence of a clear zone. On research results. The production of bioethanol by a consortium of thermophilic bacteria gives more optimal results compared to a single isolate. The best thermophilic bacterial biculture consortium from the Sapan Sungai Aro hot spring in producing biofuels is SSA 14 & SSA 16 which is 3.009%.","PeriodicalId":9003,"journal":{"name":"BioScience","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139308072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The demand for rice to meet people's needs increases every year due to population growth and efforts to improve nutrition by the community. One of the problems that can affect rice production is drought. Drought is an environmental condition when plants do not get enough water to grow and develop optimally, which can cause a decrease in rice production. To find out how rice growth responds to drought, a study was carried out by giving drought simulation treatments using polyethylene glycol (PEG) on several rice varieties. This study used a completely randomized design that was arranged in a factorial manner with two factors. The first factor was the rice varieties (Harum, Situbagendit, Rosna) the second factor was 0% and 20% PEG concentration. The data obtained were then analyzed statistically using a two-way ANOVA test, and if the results were significantly different, then proceed with Duncan's test at the 5% level.The results showed that the drought simulation treatment had a negative effect on rice growth. Drought simulation treatment using 20% PEG resulted in a decrease in Kadar air relatif (KAR), root length, plant height, and root dry weight of rice. The highest decrease in KAR was found in the sensitive rice variety (Rosna), which was 43.42%. The highest average root length (7.99 cm) was on the sitabaendit variety, and the lowest (5.61) was on the rosna variety. The highest average crown height (17.32 cm) and the lowest (6.61) were on the rosna variety.","PeriodicalId":9003,"journal":{"name":"BioScience","volume":"82 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139308648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Peroxidase (POD) is an antioxidant enzymatic that has various functions in the plant life cycle, one of which is as a defense against ROS by catalyzing the conversion of H 2 O 2 to water and O 2 . The ability of the POD enzyme activity to regulate the H 2 O 2 content allows the enzyme to defend plants from stress. One of the methods that can be used to amplify the POD gene is quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR). This method requires several important components, one of which is the primary (forward and reverse). The primer used in gene amplification must be specific for the target gene so that it can recognize and attach to the desired target gene. This study aims to design suitable primers for POD gene amplification using the qRT-PCR technique. Primers are designed using the PrimerQuest tool.

I organize and explain this diversity by addressing five questions. What does it mean to predict something? To answer this question, I describe concepts of prediction as prophecy, diagnosis, history, repeatability, and fate. What are we trying to predict? Here, I describe how predictions vary along several axes: general to specific, qualitative to quantitative, relative to absolute, point to range, and continuous to discontinuous. Where do predictions come from? In this case, I focus on deductive versus inductive reasoning. How do we test predictions? The answer here is not straightforward and I discuss various approaches and difficulties. How good are predictions? Not surprisingly, it depends on what is being predicted and how we judge success. Importantly, I do not espouse a “best” way to approach prediction but, rather, I outline its diverse manifestations so as to help organize practical thinking on the topic.","PeriodicalId":9003,"journal":{"name":"BioScience","volume":"14 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136318333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
