Abstract. Hidayaturrahmah, Mabrur, Santoso HB, Sasmita R, Rahmy USA, Badruzsaufari. 2019. Short Communication: Protein profiles of Giant Mudskipper and its potential use as biomarker candidate for heavy metal contamination in Barito Estuary, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 745-753. Giant mudskipper (Periphthalmodon schlosseri, Pallas 1770) is one of important biological diversity that potential as bio-indicator in environment assessment which is heavy metal contamination. These fish are susceptible to ambient environment, that effect to their physiological mechanism including protein synthesis and expression. This research aims to identify protein profiles of giant mudskipper muscle and review its potential application as a biomarker for heavy metal contamination in Barito Estuary of South Kalimantan. Total proteins were isolated from fish muscle using Tris EDTA buffer and then precipitated using Ammonium sulfate salt. The protein concentration was measured using Bradford assay and then separated based on molecular weight using the SDS-PAGE method. The result showed muscle proteins of giant mudskipper could be precipitated on optimum condition at Ammonium sulfate saturation 60-70% which protein concentration 5.106 mg.mL-1. The protein separated into 20 bands for raw and precipitated proteins which molecular weight ranging from 33 into 184 kDa. Further study is needed for protein identification based on amino acids sequence of protein bands for biomarker discovery and validation.

AbstractWe investigated the concentration of Aluminium (Al), Cobalt (Co), Chromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni) and Zinc (Zn) in the root and aboveground organs of four halophyte species (Salicornia europaea, Suaeda maritima, Salsola soda and Halimione portulacoides), as well as in the soil from maritime and inland saline areas. The aim of our research was to evaluate the capability of some halophyte species to absorb different heavy metals and to detect differentiation of heavy metal accumulation within populations from inland and maritime saline areas. Generally, the plant roots had significantly higher concentrations of metals when compared to stems and leaves. Zinc was the only metal with concentrations significantly higher in the leaves than in the root and stem. Populations from maritime saline areas had higher trace root and stem metal concentrations than populations from inland saline areas. Excepting zinc, populations from inland saline areas had higher heavy metal concentrations in the leaves. The factors that affected metal accumulation by halophytes included the percentage of salt in the soil. We also discuss the potential use of these halophytes in phytoremediation.

Metal Ions Removal

Porous polysulphone (PSf) microspheres were modified by blending DNA into them and immobilizing DNA onto their surfaces. The DNA-modified microspheres, which were stable in water, were then used to remove endocrine disruptors and heavy metal ions from their aqueous solutions. Such microspheres could effectively accumulate pollutant compounds and endocrine disruptors, such as ethidium bromide, Acridine Orange, biphenyl, dibenzofuran and dibenzo- p-dioxin from their aqueous solutions. PSf microspheres without DNA also accumulated and removed endocrine disruptors due to their porosity and the hydrophobic interaction between the endocrine disruptors and PSf. Endocrine disruptors with and without a planar structure were effectively accumulated and removed by the DNA-modified PSf microspheres. In addition, PSf microspheres were found to be capable of selectively removing heavy metal ions such as Zn2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, Cd2+ and Ag+ from their aqueous solutions. These results show that DNA can be used to modify PSf microspheres, with the DNA-modified microspheres having a potential use in environmental applications.
