Cellulose is a very long chain polymer of glucose that supports plant structure. Cellulase enzyme is an enzyme that has the ability to degrade cellulose with its main product, glucose. Cellulase enzymes can be produced by cellulolytic bacteria isolated from various types of substrates, one of which is empty oil palm bunches (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.). Oil palm empty bunches have a cellulose cont…
Oil palm waste is the residue from the oil palm plant which is not included in the main product or can also be referred to as a by-product of palm oil processing. Palm oil liquid waste that is wasted into the aquatic environment can later cause pollution. Pollution that occurs is a result of the formation of a layer of fat on the surface of the water so that it can inhibit the solubility of oxy…
Chili is a commodity with high commercial value in Indonesia, both on a large and small scale. One of these is caused by Fusarium oxysporum, a soil-borne pathogenic fungus that causes wilt disease in chili plants. Chemical pesticides are commonly used to control plant pests, but their excessive and prolonged use can harm the environment. As a resu lt, non-chemical control alternatives are requi…

Introduction. Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus is one of the most common microbes causing invasive nosocomial infections in children. However, not much research has been done on this matter in Indonesia, especially in Palembang. The purpose of this study was to determine the demographic and clinical profile of pediatric patients with invasive Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus infection at Dr. …
Background: Periodontal disease is the second most frequent dental and oral health problem In Indonesia. Porphyromonas gingivalis, prevalent in subgingival plaques, is the primary bacteria that cause periodontal disease. Periodontal disease can be prevented mechanically, chemically, or spontaneously by inhibiting plaque growth. Natural ingredients such as corn hair, which include antibacterial …
Introduction: Hirschsprung’s Disease (HSCR) is a congenital disease in which developmental disorders occur in the building components of the enteric nervous system. Hirschsprung-Associated Enterocolitis (HAEC) is a complication of HSCR. It is a condition where there is obstruction in the intestine due to the absence of ganglion cells and hypertrophy of peripheral nerve fibers. HAEC can occur …

This research was held on Faculty of Agriculture swampy wetlands Sriwijaya University Palembang and in the chemistry, Biology and soil fertility Laboratory agricultural faculty Sriwijaya University, from May 2012 to …
Background: Porphyromonas gingivalis is one of the main etiologies in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease found in plaque. Plaque can be controlled using toothpaste. The combination of herbal ingredients and toothpaste can produce complementary effects. Meanwhile, Gambier extract (Uncaria gambir Roxb.) was reported to contain catechin and tannin which act as antibacterial. Objective: The pu…
Actinomycetes are one of the microorganisms that have commercial value because of their ability to produce antibiotics. 80 % of antibiotics on the market today are produced by Streptomyces. Exploration of Actinomycetes from swampland revealed 19 isolates and 4 isolates of which ACT 8, ACT 10, ACT 11 and ACT 13 had high antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli ATCC25922 and Staphylococcus…

Chitooligosaccharide is a chitosan derived compound resulting from the deacetylation of chitin which has great potential as a natural source of prebiotics due to its indigestible nature and beneficial effects on probiotic bacteria. This study aims to determine the effect of submicroscopic Chitooligosaccharide in stimulating the growth of Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota. Chitooligosaccharide …
Bacterial isolation is a step to transfer microorganisms from their environment to the growth medium. Bacterial transfer aims to obtain bacteria that are no longer mixed with other bacteria or are called pure cultures. This study aims to isolate and characterize spoilage bacteria and analyze the total bacteria in gray eel-catfish from the Musi River Estuary, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra Pro…
Backgrounds : Various kinds of preventions have been developed to get healthy periodontal tissues. The antibacterial that contained in natural materials as clinical material has become the new innovations in preventing periodontal disease. Apple skin contains phenolic compounds that are antibacterial, like flavonoids and tannins. Objective : The purpose of this study was to determine the effect…
This study was conducted to determine the antibacterial activity of the combination of Lactobacillus bulgaricus metabolite and the extract of Temu Kunci (Boesenbergia pandurata) rhizome, each of which has secondary metabolites and is suspected of having antibacterial activity, one of which is against Escherichia coli bacteria. This combination is expected to be able to inhibit bacteria better. …
The waste is a habitat for fecal bacteria (coliform), and it is suspected to contain various strains of coliform bacterial phages. Escherichia coli is usually used as an indicator to see the water quality. Therefore, to avoid contamination, biocontrols such as bacteriophages are needed. Bacteriophages (phages) can be used as an effective solution for the biocontrol of innated pathogenic bacteri…
Background: Lower respiratory tract infection is the 3"1 rank of mortalitity in the world. Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the bacteria that mostly infect lower respiratory tract.
