<p>Beauveria bassiana is one of the<br />entomopathogenic fungus that produces chitinase when<br />infecting its host. This study was aimed to purify, isolate and<br />characterize chitinase of B. bassiana isolate BB200109.<br />Pathogen identity was determined both morphologically and<br />molecularly using ITS primer, whilst characterization was<br />done at various conditions i.e. temperature, pH, metal ion<br />and incubation time. Results showed that the BB200109<br />isolate belonged to B. bassiana. The isolate produced<br />extracellular chitinase with chitinolytic index of 1.035. Partial<br />purification of three saturated ammonium sulphate<br />precipitation (10, 30, and 70%) showed maximum purity of<br />1.2 times, while dialysis could increase the purity of 1.9<br />times compared to that of crude enzyme extract.<br />Characterization results showed that the chitinase isolated<br />from B. bassiana isolate BB200109 had an optimum activity<br />at pH 4, temperature 50oC, and optimum incubation time of<br />90 minutes. The effect of metal ions (60 mM) Mn2+ served as<br />activator, while EDTA, K+, Mg2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Zn2+, and Na+<br />acted as inhibitors. The chitinase demonstrated lower<br />affinity to chitin substrate as indicated by high Km value of<br />0.266 mg/l and a Vmax of 0.067 mg/l sec. Based on SDS-PAGE,<br />chitinase from B. bassiana isolate BB200109 had molecular<br />weight of 60.25 kDa. The study implied the potency of<br />B. bassiana isolate BB200109 as extracellular chitinase<br />producer with its enzyme charateristics seems to be<br />developed as an insect biocontrol agent.</p>

Beauveria bassiana is an important entomopathogenic fungus that used as a biocontrol agent of insect pests. Maintaining and preserving B. bassiana cultures is essential for the effective evaluation of its potential as microbial agent against insect pest, for biodiversity studies and also for exchange of fungal material between laboratories. In the present work we evaluated the suitability of four preservation materials based on gelatin and rice to maintain the viability of B. bassiana to be used as baits for insect’s control. The gelatin amended with sugar recorded the maximum viability after 70 days of storage as 98.3% compared to 63.3% on rice media. Effective control of 80% of the ants was observed after 10 days of feeding on gelatin amended with sugar and rice bait. The results demonstrated that treatment with formulations containing conidia of B. bassiana presents insecticidal activity against ant in addition of acting as preservation materials.

The metal ions used are Fe and Zn in the form of FeCl3 and ZnCl2 salts. The results showed that the culture medium containing metal ions Fe (a 0.01% w/v) were exposed by the magnetic field has a value of proteolytic index of 3.36 with 10 hour long incubation, and proteolysis index of 2.74 with 18 hour incubation time. Culture medium containing metal ions Fe (a 0.01% w/v) which are not being exposed to the magnetic field has a value of proteolytic index of 1.79 with 10-hour long incubation, and proteolysis index of 2.12 with 18 hour incubation time. While the culture medium containing metal ions Zn (0.005% w/v) either exposed or not exposed to the magnetic field causes the activity of Bacillus sp die. The solution of 0.01% Fe metal ion in liquid medium resulted in better protease production (0.06 U/ml) than production of proteases without exposure to magnetic fields (0.00  U/ml)Keywords: Bacillus sp., magnetic field, proteolytic index, and proteolysis indexSitasi: Sumardi, Agustrina R., Irawan B., dan I.

A study of removal of heavy metal ions from heavy metal contaminated water using agro-waste was carried out with Musa paradisiaca peels as test adsorbent. The study was carried by adding known quantities of lead (II) ions and cadmium (II) ions each and respectively into specific volume of water and adding specific dose of the test adsorbent into the heavy metal ion solution, and the mixture was agitated for a specific period of time and then the concentration of the metal ion remaining in the solution was determined with Perkin Elmer Atomic absorption spectrophotometer model 2380. The effect of contact time, initial adsorbate concentration, adsorbent dose, pH and temperature were considered. From the effect of contact time results equilibrium concentration was established at 60minutes. The percentage removal of these metal ions studied, were all above 90%. Adsorption and percentage removal of Pb2+ and Cd2+ from their aqueous solutions were affected by change in initial metal ion concentration, adsorbent dose pH and temperature. Adsorption isotherm studies confirmed the adsorption of the metal ions on the test adsorbent with good mathematical fits into Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. Regression correlation (R2) values of the isotherm plots are all positive (&gt;0.9), which suggests too, that the adsorption fitted into the isotherms considered.

Background: The metal ions play a vital role in a large number of widely differing biological processes. Some of these processes are quite specific in their metal ion requirements. In that only certain metal ions, in specific oxidation states, can full fill the necessary catalytic or structural requirement, while other processes are much less specific. Objective: In this paper we report the binding of Mn (II), Ni (II) and Co (II) with albumin are reported employing spectrophotometric and pH metric method. In order to distinguish between ionic and colloidal linking, the binding of metal by using pH metric and viscometric methods and the result are discussed in terms of electrovalent and coordinate bonding. Methods: The binding of Ni+2, Co+2 and Mn+2 ions have been studied with egg protein at different pH values and temperatures by the spectrometric technique. Results: The binding data were found to be pH and temperature dependent. The intrinsic association constants (k) and the number of binding sites (n) were calculated from Scatchard plots and found to be at the maximum at lower pH and at lower temperatures. Therefore, a lower temperature and lower pH offered more sites in the protein molecule for interaction with these metal ions. Statistical effects seem to be more significant at lower Ni+2, Co+2 and Mn+2 ions concentrations, while at higher concentrations electrostatic effects and heterogeneity of sites are more significant. Conclusion: The pH metric as well as viscometric data provided sufficient evidence about the linking of cobalt, nickel and manganese ions with the nitrogen groups of albumin. From the nature and height of curves in the three cases it may be concluded that nickel ions bound strongly while the cobalt ions bound weakly.

Sorption and preconcentration of Cu2+, Zn2+ and Fe3+ on a salen-type Schiff base, 2,2'- [ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]bis(2-methylphenol), chemically immobilized on a highly crosslinked agarose support, were studied. Kinetic studies showed higher sorption rates of Cu2+ and Fe3+ in comparison with Zn2+. Half-times (t1/2) of 31, 106 and 58 s were obtained for sorption of Cu2+, Zn2+ and Fe3+ by the sorbent, respectively. Effects of pH, eluent concentration and volume, ionic strength, buffer concentration, sample volume and interferences on the recovery of the metal ions were investigated. A 5-ml portion of 0.4 M HCl solution was sufficient for quantitative elution of the metal ions from 0.5 ml of the sorbent packed in a 6.5 mm i.d. glass column. Quantitative recoveries were obtained in a pH range 5.5-6.5 for all the analytes. The volumes to be concentrated exceeding 500 ml, ionic strengths as high as 0.5 mol l-1, and acetate buffer concentrations up to 0.3 mol l-1 for Zn2+ and 0.4 mol l-1 for Cu2+ and Fe3+ did not have any significant effect on the recoveries. The system tolerated relatively high concentrations of diverse ions. Preconcentration factors up to 100 and detection limits of 0.31, 0.16 and 1.73 μg l-1 were obtained for Cu2+, Zn2+ and Fe3+, respectively, for their determination by a flame AAS instrument. The method was successfully applied to the metal ion determinations in several river water samples with good accuracy.

5-Aminolevulinic acid is incubated with a crude enzyme extract from Rhodopseudomonas spheroides, mutant R 26. The formed porphyrins (main product: uroporphyrin III) are isolated. Incorporation of iron, ring-splitting by coupled oxydation and subsequent iron removal leads to a mixture of pigments, from which urobiliverdin, a new bile pigment with eight carboxylic acid side chains, is isolated. It is characterized by its chromatographic behaviour, chromic acid degra­dation and UV-vis spectroscopy.
