"ABSTRAKAglaonema simplex is an aquatic plant that has been widely used as ornamental plants. the genus contains polyhydroxy alkaloids that exhibit the glycosidase inhibitor activity. this paper reports a phytochemical screening of in vitro Aglaonema simplex plantlets and the potential compounds as alternatives of SR-B1 ligand that plays a role in reducing atherosclerosis. the phytochemical screening was conducted using Thin Layer Chromatography and Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy on methanol crude extracts of leaves, stems and roots. SR-B1 ligand activities were tested on HepG2 cell line stably transfected with SR-B1 promoter. The results showed that the extracts contained secondary metabolites belonging to the terpenoids, steroids, phenolics, alkaloids and glycosides. Luciferase assay suggested that the stem and root extracts increased the expression of SR-B1 at 1.61- and 1.72-fold higher than the control, respectively. thus, Aglaonema simplex is one of the potential sources of the phytochemicals for the treatment of atherosclerosis. the tissue culture technology may be applicable for sustainable production of the identified compounds from the plant."

"ABSTRAKThe search for novel biological activities from plant-based natural products is gaining traction due to the high abundance and accessibility of the plants, with consequent lower cost for discovery, and lesser side effects and toxicity on human health and the environment. This study focused on the phytochemical analyses and the potency of mangrove-associated Hibiscus tiliaceus extracts and fractions as anti-bacteria and anti- biofilm agents against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The bacterial strain contributes towards biofilm formation of various infectious diseases such as cystic fibrosis in lung, and causes blockage in urinary catheter. It is also an initiator of biofouling in shipping and maritime facilities. the methanol extracts of each part of fruits, leaves, and twigs were fractionated into chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol fractions using column chromatography. crystal violet assay was carried out for anti-biofilm activity in a 96 well-plate to evaluate the bacterial inhibition and biofilm formation. Phytocemical analyses suggested the presence of protein, carbohydrate, phenols, tannin, flavonoids, saponins, glycoside, steroids, terpenoids, and alkaloids in Hibiscus tiliaceus. The strongest anti-bacterial and anti-biofilm activities were exhibited by the chloroform fraction of fruits (HFC). the methanol crude of fruits (HFMc), methanol fraction of fruits (HFM), and chloroform fraction of twig (HTC) showed more than 80% inhibition as compared to the control.the results suggested that Hibiscus tiliaceus had a good potential to be developed as anti-bacterial and anti-biofilm agents."

"Tempoyak merupakan makanan fermentasi tradisional yang difermentasi oleh Bakteri Asam Laktat (BAL). Sebagai makanan fungsional, tempoyak diketahui memiliki efek mendukung fungsi fisiologis tubuh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengisolasi BAL dari tempoyak yang memiliki aktivitas antibakteri dan memiliki karakteristik seperti probiotik. Isolasi BAL menggunakan metode quadrant streak pada medium de Man Rogosa Sharpe Agar (MRSA) dengan penambahan kalsium karbonat (CaCO3) 0,3%. Karakterisasi dilakukan untuk mengetahui karakteristik morfologi (pengecatan Gram), fisiologi (uji pertumbuhan pada variasi konsentrasi bile, pH, NaCl, dan suhu), dan biokimia (uji O-F, katalase, oksidase, aerob, anaerob, dan koagulasi susu). Uji aktivitas antibakteri dilakukan dengan teknik difusi, yaitu uji antagonis dengan metode agar plug dan antibiosis dengan silinder terhadap delapan bakteri uji (Staphylococcus aureus NBRC 100910, Kocuria rhizophila NBRC 12078, Escherichia coli CP, Bacillus cereus G18, Klebsiella oxytoca G7, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa WDCM 00114, dan Salmonella typhi). Hasil isolasi diperoleh 15 isolat yang menghasilkan zona bening pada MRSA dengan penambahan CaCO3. Sembilan di antara 15 isolat mampu menghasilkan zona bening secara terpisah setelah dilakukan konfirmasi ulang. Seluruh isolat tersebut digunakan untuk uji antagonis dan tiga isolat dengan indeks aktivitas tertinggi (T2.3, T3.1, dan T3.2) dipilih untuk karakterisasi dan uji antibiosis. Hasil karakterisasi menunjukkan ketiga isolat berbentuk batang dan memiliki beberapa karakteristik probiotik. Ketiga isolat juga menunjukkan aktivitas antibakteri terhadap delapan bakteri uji.

Tempoyak is a traditional fermented food fermented by Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). As a functional food, tempoyak is known to have beneficial effects that support physiological functions. This research aims to isolate LAB from tempoyak that have antibacterial activity and probiotic-like characteristics. Isolation of LAB was carried out using the quadrant streak method on de Man Rogosa Sharpe Agar (MRSA) supplemented with 0,3% Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3). Characterization was conducted to determine morphological (Gram-stain), physiological (growth test on various concentrations of bile, pH, NaCl, and temperatures) and biochemical characteristics (O-F, catalase, oxidase, aerobic and anaerobic tests, and milk-coagulating activity). Antibacterial activity tests were conducted using diffusion methods, namely the antagonistic test using the agar-plug method and antibiosis using cylinders against eight bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus NBRC 100910, Kocuria rhizophila NBRC 12078, Escherichia coli CP, Bacillus cereus G18, Klebsiella oxytoca G7, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa WDCM 00114, and Salmonella typhi). The isolation results yielded 15 clear-zone producing isolates on CaCO3-supplemented MRSA. Nine out of 15 isolates were found to have the ability to produce clear zones consistently after reconfirmation. All isolates were used for the antagonistic test, and the three isolates with the highest activity index (T2.3, T3.1, and T3.2) were chosen for further characterization and antibiosis tests. Characterization results showed that these three isolates were rod-shaped and had some probiotic characteristics. The three isolates also exhibited antibacterial activity against the eight tested bacteria."
