In vitro culture gametophytes of leafy liverworts often have problems in their sterilization process. These problems due to the high level of contamination and the fragile structure of the gametophyte leafy liverworts. The structures can be easily to damage after exposure to disinfectant. This study aimed to observe the concentration and the exposure time of “Bayclin” commercial bleach to suppress contamination with the viability of Acrolejeunea fertilisgametophytic explants. This research was conducted using control and 6 combination treatments with “Bayclin” concentration (1.00%, 1.25%, and 1.50%) and exposure time 60 and 120 seconds, then accompanied by the addition of Tetracycline 2.5 mg/ml. The qualitative parameters observed were the explant color, the type and location of contamination, and the growth of explants. The quantitative parameters were the percentage of contamination, the percentage of growth, and the number of new branches. The results showed that “Bayclin” 1.25% and 1.50% with 60 seconds exposure time has the lowest percentage of contamination which is 70% until the 7th days after planting. The most common type of internal contamination from the explant is bacteria and fungi. However, the growth of the new branch still occurs in some explants even though it has been contaminated and browned.

In vitro cultures of leafy liverworts are still facing significant challenges due to high-level of explant contamination. The sterilization process can easily damage the structure of liverwort after exposure to the disinfectant. This study was to determine the concentration and time exposure of commercial bleach as a disinfectant to suppress contamination using the gametophyte culture of Lopholejeunea sp. The experiment consisted of control and six treatment combinations of commercial bleach with concentration 0.5, 0.75, and 1% (v/v), and exposure time (60 and 90 seconds). The type and location of contamination, the color of the explants after sterilization, and response after 30 days were observed. The results showed that the 0.75% bleach with 60 and 90 seconds exposure time had a lower contamination until the 7th day of culture. The most common type of contamination is bacteria and fungi that arise from the explant. Despite the contamination, it did not inhibit shoot formation. Further studies still needed to determine the type of fungicides and antibiotics with the most potent concentration and exposure time should be tested to obtain an axenic and viable culture of liverworts Lopholejeunea sp.

Effectiveness of Mercury Chloride (HgCl2) in Sterilization of Teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) In VitroThe main obstacle in obtaining sterile materials in in vitro cultures derived from meristems is high level of surface contamination caused by fungi and bacteria, which often results in explant death. The objective of this study was to obtain an appropriate mercury chloride (HgCl2) concentration for the sterilization of Tectona grandis nodes in in vitro culture. One cm long-sized nodes with 0.2 mm diameter were immersed in HgCl2at concentrations of 0, 100, 200 and 300 mg/L for 3 minutes. The results showed that the higher concentration of HgCl2was able to suppress the growth of fungi and bacteria and increased the percentage of aseptic explants. The best HgCl2concentration was 300 mg/L since it suppressed the growth of fungi and bacteria up to 100% and 75%, respectively, and produced the highest aseptic explants of 85% at 9 days after treatment. The small sized explants supported the sterilization process and reduced browning levels.Keywords: Browning, HgCl2, in vitro, sterilization, T. grandisABSTRAKKendala utama dalam mendapatkan material steril pada kultur in vitro yang berasal dari meristem adalah tingginya tingkat kontaminasi permukaan yang disebabkan oleh jamur dan bakteri, dan sering menyebabkan kematian eksplan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memperoleh konsentrasi merkuri klorida (HgCl2) yang tepat untuk sterilisasi eksplan tunas samping tanaman jati (Tectona grandis) pada kultur in vitro. Tunas samping berukuran 1 cm dan diameter 0,2 mm direndam dalam HgCl2 pada konsentrasi 0, 100, 200 dan 300 mg/L selama 3 menit. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan konsentrasi HgCl2 yang semakin tinggi mampu menekan pertumbuhan jamur dan bakteri pada eksplan serta meningkatkan persentase eksplan aseptik. HgCl2 dengan konsentrasi 300 mg/L merupakan konsentrasi terbaik karena dapat menekan pertumbuhan jamur hingga 100% dan bakteri mencapai 75%, serta menghasilkan tingkat eksplan aseptik dan hidup tertinggi yaitu sebesar 85% pada 9 hari setelah perlakuan. Ukuran eksplan yang kecil mendukung proses sterilisasi dan mengurangi tingkat browning. Kata kunci: HgCl2,in vitro, pencoklatan jaringan, sterilisasi, T. grandis, Received: 02 November 2017                 Accepted: 14 December 2017                Published: 29 December 2017

The present review covers combination approaches of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) plus antibiotics or antifungals to attack bacteria and fungi in vitro (both planktonic and biofilm forms) focused on those microorganisms that cause infections in skin and soft tissues. The combination can prevent failure in the fight against these microorganisms: antimicrobial drugs can increase the susceptibility of microorganisms to aPDT and prevent the possibility of regrowth of those that were not inactivated during the irradiation; meanwhile, aPDT is effective regardless of the resistance pattern of the strain and their use does not contribute to the selection of antimicrobial resistance. Additive or synergistic antimicrobial effects in vitro are evaluated and the best combinations are presented. The use of combined treatment of aPDT with antimicrobials could help overcome the difficulty of fighting high level of resistance microorganisms and, as it is a multi-target approach, it could make the selection of resistant microorganisms more difficult.

AbstractAn increasing number of explants is necessary toobtain plantlets in large quantities, for mass propagationof rubber plants. However, high level of contamination atthe primary culture stage is still a major constraint in invitro microcutting of rubber. The aim of this study was tooptimize surface sterilization procedures to reduce micro-bial contamination at the primary culture. Sterilizationexperiment was conducted in two step., The first step wasto determine the effect of washing the explants withrunning water prior to sterilization and then using Deso-germe, ethanol or H 2 O 2 , while the second step was toidentify the suitable sterilization process on reducing thelevel of contamination. The results showed that the surfacesterilization with only one type of sterilization agent couldnot reduce contamination level caused either by bacteriaor fungi, while sterilization with three types of sterilizingagents increased the number of dead explants. The besttreatment for surface sterilization was the directsterilization of explants using 70% ethanol for one minuteand 17.6% H 2 O 2 for 20 minutes without washing with tapwater (A-CD treatment). The percentage of viable andaseptic explantsof this treatment was 76.7%, which wassignificantly higher than those of other treatments. Thistreatment reduced contamination level to 21.7%.AbstrakPeningkatan jumlah eksplan sangat diperlukan untukmemperoleh planlet dalam jumlah besar pada perbanyakanmassal tanaman karet secara in vitro.

The stage of introducing explants into a sterile culture is difficult in the technology of clonal micropropagation of plants. The article shows the possible ways of sterilization and the introduction terms of explants of the clonal apple stocks 54-118 into in vitro culture in order to reduce planting infection and increase the yield of sterile viable explants. The best time for introducing clonal apple stocks 54-118 into sterile in vitro culture is the period of active shoot growth. Sterilization of explants with ethyl alcohol (70,0 %, 1 min) in combination with hydrogen peroxide (33,0 %) for 7 minutes and ethyl alcohol (70,0 %, 1 min) in combination with diacide (0,1 %) within 6 minutes contributed to the production of 63,0 % and 60,0 % of viable sterile explants.

The sterilization process of plant explants of E. purpurea was optimized when introduced into an In Vitro culture, the most effective sterilizers, their exposure time and concentration were selected. An approach to increase the yield of plant explants seedlings from Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench seeds is proposed. During the study an effective action time of 1 hour and a concentration of 1% nanocapsulated gibberellic acid were selected for more successful seed germination and cultivation of E. purpurea in vitro. This mode is at the same time the most economical both in terms of exposure time and in the minimum consumption of the active substance. The most optimal media compositions were determined, both for microclonal propagation and for the formation of E. purpurea callus tissue in in vitro culture.
