Ekosistem mangrove berperan penting dalam mendukung keseimbangan lingkungan, melalui aktivitas mikroorganisme seperti fungi. Informasi terkait komunitas fungi di kawasan mangrove, seperti Taman Nasional Rawa Aopa Watumohai masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi keragaman dan potensi fungsional komunitas fungi tanah mangrove TNRAW menggunakan pendekatan metagenomik berbasis sekuens ITS2. Metode yang digunakan meliputi pengambilan sampel tanah dari lima titik, ekstraksi DNA, dan evaluasi kualitas hasil ekstraksi DNA. Sekuensing dilakukan dengan Oxford Nanopore Technologies PromethION 2 Solo, sedangkan analisis data menggunakan platform UseGalaxy dan R. Sekuensing seluruh sampel menghasilkan 378.926 sekuens dengan 77.666.929 basa. Keanekaragaman fungi pada seluruh sampel tanah mangrove tinggi dengan genus Malassezia, Fusarium, Aspergillus, Neurospora. Prediksi fungsional komunitas fungi menunjukkan aktivitas metabolisme energi, dan lipid. Keberadaan gen regulasi sel RNA polymerase sigma-70 factor menunjukan kemampuan fungi beradaptasi terhadap lingkungan mangrove yang ekstrim.; Mangrove ecosystems play an important role in maintaining environmental balance through the activities of microorganisms such as fungi. Information regarding fungal communities in mangrove ecosystems, such as Taman Nasional Rawa Aopa Watumohai, remains limited. This study aimed to identify the diversity and functional potential of soil fungal communities in the mangrove ecosystem of TNRAW using an ITS2-based metagenomic approach. The methods included soil sampling from five sites, DNA extraction, and evaluation of DNA extraction quality. Sequencing was performed using the Oxford Nanopore Technologies PromethION 2 Solo platform, while data analysis was conducted using the UseGalaxy platform and R. Sequencing of all samples generated a total of 378.926 sequences with 77.666.929 bases. Fungal diversity across all mangrove soil samples was high, with the genera Malassezia, Fusarium, Aspergillus, and Neurospora being dominant. Functional prediction of the fungal community indicated activities related to energy and lipid metabolism. The presence of regulatory genes encoding the RNA polymerase sigma-70 factor suggests the ability of fungi to adapt to the extreme environmental conditions of mangrove ecosystems.

<description>Prediksi Kandidat Bakteriosin Menggunakan AntiSMASH dan Optimasi Waktu Inkubasi Komagataeibacter xylinus Berdasarkan Pola Pertumbuhan serta Profil Protein
Qur’ani, Elvaretta Aura
Komagataeibacter xylinus dikenal sebagai bakteri penghasil selulosa, namun potensinya dalam menghasilkan senyawa bioaktif seperti bakteriosin masih terbatas dikaji. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengoptimasi waktu inkubasi K. xylinus berdasarkan pola pertumbuhan serta mengidentifikasi protein kandidat bakteriosin. Pola pertumbuhan dianalisis melalui pengukuran OD600 dan bobot kering sel selama inkubasi 96 jam. Profil protein terlarut dianalisis menggunakan metode SDS-PAGE, sedangkan potensi genetik produksi bakteriosin dikaji secara in silico menggunakan antiSMASH. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa K. xylinus memasuki fase eksponensial pada 48–96 jam inkubasi. Pita protein berukuran antara 10–15 kDa terdeteksi pada inkubasi 72 dan 96 jam dan mengindikasikan bahwa rentang waktu tersebut berpotensi menjadi waktu inkubasi optimum untuk produksi protein berukuran kecil. Namun, temuan ini masih bersifat indikatif dan memerlukan konfirmasi lebih lanjut melalui uji aktivitas antimikroba serta identifikasi protein secara spesifik. Ukuran protein tersebut konsisten dengan karakteristik umum bakteriosin, khususnya kelas II. Selain itu, analisis antiSMASH mengungkap keberadaan klaster gen RiPP-like pada genom K. xylinus. Penelitian ini memberikan dasar awal mengenai potensi K. xylinus sebagai penghasil protein kandidat bakteriosin.; Komagataeibacter xylinus is widely known as a cellulose-producing bacterium, yet its potential to produce other bioactive compounds such as bacteriocins remains underexplored. This study aimed to optimize the incubation time of K. xylinus based on its growth pattern and to identify candidate bacteriocin proteins. Growth was monitored using optical density (OD600) and cell dry weight over a 96-hour incubation period. Soluble protein profiles were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, while the genetic potential for bacteriocin production was assessed in silico using antiSMASH. K. xylinus entered the exponential phase between 48 and 96 hours. Protein bands of 10–15 kDa were detected at 72 and 96 hours, suggesting this period may be favorable for low-molecular-weight protein production. however, this finding is still indicative and requires confirmation through antimicrobial assays and specific protein identification. AntiSMASH analysis also revealed a RiPP-like biosynthetic gene cluster in the K. xylinus genome. Overall, this study provides preliminary evidence for the bacteriocin-producing potential of K. xylinus.
