Abstract
Abstract. Bacteria and microalgae in the aquatic environment interact in various ways. Some bacteria have the potential to accelerate microalgae growth. Amylolytic and cellulolytic bacteria which living in freshwater environments (lakes) can decompose complex compounds into simpler ones that needed by microalgae. However, there is limited information about amylolytic and cellulolytic bacteria in Ranu Pani, Ranu Regulo, Ranu Grati and Lake Ngebel. This study aims to examine the potential of amylolytic and cellulolytic bacteria isolated from Ranu Pani, Ranu Regulo, Ranu Grati and Lake Ngebel. The amylolytic test was performed through planted the bacterial isolates from each lake on Amilum agar. Meanwhile, the cellulolytic test was performed using CMC (Carboxymethyl cellulose) media. Our recent finding from 4 lakes showed that 53 isolates had the potential to hydrolyze starch, and 47 isolates had the potential to hydrolyze cellulose. The ANOVA results showed there were differences significantly (p<0.050) in the hydrolysis ability of amylolytic and cellulolytic bacteria isolates. The bacteria with the highest amylum hydrolysis ability were PAS isolates with hydrolysis index 5.89. The bacteria with the highest cellulose hydrolysis ability were PSS isolates with hydrolysis index 6.912. Based on the analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences, PSS isolates were Bacillus paramycoides and PAS isolates were Bacillus subtillis and the two bacterial were isolates from Ranu Pani.

Abstract
Microbial fuel cells (MFC) is an example of electricity generation using sustainable technology. It uses organic substrates as fuels on the anode side to generate electricity as the anode of the organic substance is oxidizes and releasing electrons and protons and allow electrons to be transferred to cathode via external electric circuit. The potential of Alcaligenes sp. strain SUM123 were identified as the inoculum to utilize organic substrate palm oil mill effluent (POME). The MTB were first grown in nutrient broth (NB) and palm oil mill effluent POME to test its ability to grow in these medium. The growth was observed for 10% NB and 90% POME and compared to in 100% NB alone. The ability to reduce the pH, COD and ADMI of the substrate are identified for the 10% NB and 90% POME. The pH reading dropped as the growth of MTB are decreased, while the COD readings increases almost the same trend as the growth and death of the bacteria in 10% NB and 90% POME solution, while ADMI reading were indirectly proportional to the growth of MTB in 10% NB and 90% POME.

Abstract
Combatting malaria, as one of the world health burdens requires effective vaccine development, but high polymorphism in one protein vaccine candidate, Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1), is a major hurdle. One domain in its head structure, Duffy-binding like (DBL) domain, has a binding area to ICAM-1 receptor found in cerebral malaria patient, hence making this domain as a key to develop a malaria vaccine. Identify the epitopes within this protein is pivotal before formulating a peptide-based vaccine development strategy. This study aimed to identify the conserved epitopes by using an immunoinformatic approach. The protein was subjected to hydrophobicity attributes, Th-cell epitopes, and B-cell epitopes by using NN-align algorithm, Bepipred 2.0, and Kolaskar Tangaonkar methods combined with K-means clustering method to identify overlapping epitope. The result showed that the hydrophobicity value was 32.62 indicating that this protein is soluble and potentially fit into HLA alleles active site, but further NN-align algorithm showed no overlapping of Th-cell epitope positions for three Indonesian alleles. Three B-cell conserved epitopes in the position of 77-89, 236-254, and 360-377 amino acids were identified with one cluster overlapping with ICAM-1 determinant binding area. This information is valuable in constructing a subunit peptide-based malaria vaccine candidate.

Abstract
The high level of Fe in the waters of a material that is difficult to be degraded so that it can last a long time and are then deposited in the sediment. The Fe in sludge sediment are commonly contributed by the anthropogenic factors including waste industrial, port and agriculture. Heavy metals in the amount above the threshold can be dangerous to aquatic ecosystems and living beings around them. Tessier microwave method divides the sludge into five fractions, fraction of ion exchange, carbonate bound fraction, fraction reduction, oxidation fraction is the fraction of non-resistant and residue fraction is the fraction resistant. Each faction describes the attachment of metal in the sludge. This study was conducted to determine the concentration of Fe, fractionation and distribution of Fe attachment on each of the fractions and find out the similarities reactions that occur in sludge leaching at Prigi Beach area. The heavy metal content in Prigi Beach sludge is higher in the non-resistant fraction than the resistant and precision fraction obtained is ≤5%.

Abstract
Humpback grouper (Cromileptes altivelis) is one of superior commodity that are easily cultivated in the fisheries sector in Indonesia. But, there is one of the difficulties in humpback grouper cultivation is Viral Nervous Necrosis (VNN) infection. The existence of VNN can be transmitted vertically and horizontally, according to water quality and natural feed (plankton) consumed by groupers. Therefore, this study conducted an observation of the factors thought to affect the presence of VNN seen from the identified plankton. This study used descriptive method. Water sampling, plankton and fish was carried out 3 times with a one-week interval in floating net cages in the Gulf of Sendang Biru Beach, Malang Regency. The results obtained by 5 phylum of phytoplankton, there are Chlorophyta division (3 genera), Phragmophyta (1 genus), Diatom (2 genera), Cyanophyta (1 genus) and Bacillariophyta or Chrysophyta (2 genera). Zooplankton consists of 4 phylum, there are Arthropoda (7 genera), Mollusca (1 genus), Tracheophyta (1 genus) and Rotifera (1 genus). Whereas, plankton that were found in the stomach of groupers mostly Bacilariophyta and a small portion of Cyanophyta and Phragmophyta. Based on the results of plankton identification, showed that plankton was not infected with Viral Nervous Necrosis (VNN) and indicated the infecction of Viral Nervous Necrosis (VNN) occurs not because of the plankton factor in the floating net cages but vertically which is the spread from the parent to the larvae.

Abstract
The accumulation of heavy metal in marine waters is a very serious and dangerous environmental problem. Heavy metals can accumulate in sludges and corals. Understanding trace metal displacement, concentration and distribution is needed as a first step to prevent the spread of heavy metals pollution. We determined the trace metals in sludges ( Zn, Cd, Pb, Ni, Co,Cu and Fe) using the method Bureau Community of Reference (BCR) microwave as well as other chemical analyzes such as anion analysis and total organic carbon. The samples were used Acropora corals and sludges taken from Prigi bay waters. This research aims to (1) investigation of the level of metal pollution in prigi bay waters, (2) Look for the relationship of metal concentrations in sludges, corals and seawater in order to obtain more accurate pollution value data. The data for heavy metals concentration, zinc should not exceed than 50µg l-1 in marine waters. Cadmium is a relatively rare element with concentrations ranging from 2 x 10 4 to 2.9µg l-1. Lead is highly toxic and originates from anthropogenic activities. Nickel is one of the largest trace metal constituents of crude oil and cobalt is an essential metal for living organisms in low concentrations but may be toxic in high concentrations. Copper concentrations in marine waters should not increase than 5 µg l-1. For Higher concentrations of Fe in sludges and seawater may be revealed a pollution problem in a certain area. The precision value (% RSD) of using the BCR microwave method for trace metals in sludges has a range (3.99-9.6%) for all metals.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most virulent types of cancers that contribute to high mortality worldwide. Hyperthermia (HT) therapy was introduced as one of the alternatives to treat breast cancer. However, HT caused poor specific heat distribution in tumor during treatment which lead to unintentional destruction of normal cells. Therefore, this study explores the integration effect of multiwalled-carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in combination with hyperthermia for breast cancer therapy regime. MWCNT was recognized as the potential candidate for hyperthermal therapy due to its thermal conductance and stability which generated a significant amount of heat during hyperthermia. This subsequently will provide specific heat distribution in tumor, which expected to improve the treatment outcome. In this study, 5 × 105 EMT6 breast cell was inoculated subcutaneously into right flank of female Balb/c mice. At day 7 post-inoculation, tumors were intratumorally injected with MWCNT and subjected to local HT for 3 consecutive days. The tumor progression was monitored every 2 days. In another experiment, mice were sacrificed after 24 hr post-treatment and tumors were harvested for pathological examination by H&E and immunohistochemical analysis for PCNA and Hsp70 expression. Results from this study demonstrated that mice from combined treatment displayed complete tumor eradication and significantly prolonged median survival (P<0.001). Furthermore, histological analysis of tissues from combined treatment showed that the tumor experienced cell necrosis. For Hsp70 expression, HT and combined treatment both showed expression of Hsp70 protein corresponding to hyperthermia. In addition, significant reduction of PCNA-positive cells was observed in treated group indicated that HT in combination with MWCNT treatment inhibited tumor cells proliferation. Altogether, results presented in this study suggested that MWCNT might have a potential as an anticancer therapeutic agent in future breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
Sea cucumbers have a wide distribution and high abundance in Indonesia. Previous research has shown that sea cucumbers have an anticancer function and have toxicity to various types of cancer cells. Furthermore, we identified the anticancer compounds of the sea cucumber Holothuria sp. collected from South Malang sea. Holothuria sp was extracted using methanol, then the active compound content was analyzed using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS). From the results of the analysis, it is known that the methanol extract of Holothuria sp. contains 3 types of anticancer compounds namely holothurin A, holothurin B, and holothurin B3. Based on in silico analysis, it is estimated that the holothurin compounds have target proteins namely BCL2 and PTPN2 which play an important role in the process of apoptosis and cell cycle. The results of this study show that sea cucumbers can be used as anticancer, although various in vitro and in vivo tests are needed to prove the anticancer mechanism.

Abstract
Dengue is mosquito borne diseases cause by dengue virus and found in tropical and sub-tropical climates worldwide. There is no specific treatment has been found for its cure. Exploration of secondary metabolites as antiviral is an attempt to treat Dengue. Agarwood, an aromatic sap-producing plant, contains secondary metabolites which are possibly antiviral. The purpose of this study was to determine the activity of ethanolic extract of agarwood leaves of Aquilaria malaccensis Lamk. (AM) and Gyrinops versteegii (Gilg.) Domke (GV) as antiviral dengue. Agarwood leaves were extracted with soxhletation using 96% ethanol. Dengue serotype 3 (DEN-3) virus propagated in C6/36 cells. Cytotoxicity tests using WST-1 reagents and antiviral extract activity were carried out in Vero cells. Concentration of extracts used ranged from 15.6 to 1000 ppm. Secondary metabolite group from the extract with the best activity was determined using TLC and various detection reagents. The results showed that AM and GV had relatively low toxicity with theoretical CC50 of 566,154 ppm and 1499,167 ppm. GV extract showed better performance for antiviral activity based on RT-PCR up to 99.59% compared to the control at concentrations >125 ppm. Antiviral potential secondary metabolites detected in GV ethanolic extract are flavonoids, terpenoids and phenolic compounds.

Abstract
Bacillus subtilis is one of the microbes that is known very potential to degrade heavy oil because it can produce biosurfactants. The presence of biosurfactant makes Bacillus subtilis able to degrade the chains of carbon atoms in heavy oils that are very long and complex. The ability of Bacillus subtilis to produce biosurfactants is caused by the sfp gene which is required to produce Sfp 4-phosphopantetheinyl transferase protein. To know the characteristics and pathway of the sfp gene in producing biosurfactants, molecular analysis was carried out by using bioinformatics. The analysis carried out includes an analysis of the primary structure, secondary structure, and tertiary structure of the protein produced. Further analysis using EcoCyc was conducted to determine the Sfp 4-phosphopantetheinyl transferase protein metabolism pathway. Based on the results of the analysis carried out related to the sfp gene, it has a conserved protein motif associated with a fairly low similarity with some EntD proteins from Escherichia coli. Based on the EcoCyc analysis known that AccS as a group of genes that produce 4-phosphopantetheinyl transferase Sfp and Associated EntD proteins play an important role in maintaining membrane cell function. The expression of the sfp gene is controlled by the Crp and Fur transcription activator. Excessive expression of the SFP gene will help the secretion of secondary metabolites capable of breaking complex carbon atom chains in the heavy oil.

Abstract
The epidemiologic evidence has been proved that chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infection may significantly contribute to the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCV). Moreover, the prevalence of individual with CHC infection in Indonesia increased dramatically during the last decade. Importantly, there is no preliminary data, whether specific liver derived-hormone, betatrophin/ANGPTL-8/ can contribute to the early stage of HCC caused by HCV infection. The goal of this study was to provide a baseline data of betatrophin profile in subjects with CHC. Nineteen healthy control and fourteen CHC patients were considered as the samples and circulating betatrophin was measured by ELISA. Interestingly, the higher level of betatrophin was observed in an individual with CHC compared to placebo. Furthermore, the linear data was also found that the classical marker of liver injury, ALT significantly increased in the same patients. Based on this critical data, it is suggested that betatrophin may contribute to the early stages of HCC in connection to the gradual changes of HCV DNA and ALT level. Even though this finding could be a hallmark for the essential characteristic of betatrophin in CHC subjects progress to HCC, however, the future study with long-term monitoring in clinical observation of CHC patients is compulsory.

Abstract
Human activities had induced environmental changes, which in turn change the biodiversity. Biodiversity is the variability among living organisms at genetic, species, and ecosystem levels. In this paper will have a look in the different ways, how biodiversity able to use for environmental impact assessment (EIA). EIA is process of evaluating the likely environmental impacts of a proposed project or development, taking into account inter-related socio-economic, cultural and human-health impacts, both beneficial and adverse. Water quality assessment will discuss in relation to the biodiversity changes. Organism live in the range of natural variability. In the species level, tolerant species will adapt to the environmental changes, whereas sensitive species will move to or eliminated from the ecosystem. In the level of population, environmental changes will induce changes in the assemblage of organisms. The species richness and abundance of plankton, diatoms, and vascular plants in the riparian vegetation were evaluated in relation to the effect of land use and water quality. The surrounding land uses and human activities along the aquatic ecosystem were found to have significant impact on the overall water quality and biodiversity of the aquatic biota and riparian vegetation.

Abstract
Dietary fiber reduces the risk of developing diabetes. Nasi jagung is one of Indonesian foods made from corn. Nasi jagung contains higher fiber than corn. Nasi jagung can be consumed as a staple food instead of rice. The present study aimed to analyse the relationship between fiber intake from nasi jagung with fasting blood glucose level. This cross-sectional study included 57 healthy adults aged 31-45 years with nasi jagung consumption habit. Fiber intake from nasi jagung was assesed by using semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. Fasting blood glucose level was using capillary blood analysis. Spearman Rho was used to analyse relationship between fiber intake from nasi jagung with fasting blood glucose level (=0.05). The average of fiber intake from nasi jagung and fasting blood glucose level were 1.13±1.2 g and 80.70±7.7 mg/dl, respectively. The correlation test result indicated a negative correlation between fiber intake from nasi jagung and fasting blood glucose level (r = -0.348, p = 0.008). This study indicate that those with nasi jagung consumption habit may benefit from a reduction in the incidence of developing diabetes by controlling blood glucose level.

Abstract
Parkinsons disease (PD) the most common movement disorder and the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimers disease, is characterized primarily by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta leading to a dopamine deficit in the striatum. The standard therapy for Parkinson-s was levodopa (dopamine agonist) administration, but extended levodopa treatment often end up with dyskinesia. So, it-s needed the emerging alternative therapy for Parkinson-s. one of the most promising therapy is herbal remedies. Centella asiatica (CA) is one of popular herbs that has been used for many centuries for cure many disease such as bronchitis, memory improvement and neurotonic. In this study we explore the mechanism of CA to protect from Parkinson-s disease. We used SuperPred server to predict kinds of molecules that could bind to the certain protein. Four major active compound of CA (Asiaticoside, mdecassoside, madecassic acid and Asiatic acid) were docked using PatchDock and continuous using FireDock. One of interesting active compound was Asiatic acid, continued to further analyzed using Autodick Vina on PyRx 0.8, Molecular interaction (Ligand Scout V.2.0), Molecular visualization (chimera 1.8.1). Results showed that asiaticoside and madecassoside have strong anti-inflammatory activities due to their binding to the cyclooxygenase enzymes. While Asiatic acid and madecassic acid have specific binding to protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP). FireDock analysis using 2F71 (protein tyrosine phosphatase 1b as receptor) and Asiatic acid as ligand (DSAsisticAcisCID119024.pdb) we found energy binding -6.62 kj/mol. Its known that if PTP 1b bound to certain molecule, the BDNF signalling will more strength. Because PTP 1b attenuate BDNF signaling. We can conclude that CA could protect Parkinson-s through the anti-inflammatory activities and strengthen the BDNF signaling.
