LAY , STELLA MAGDALENA1 1 1*AND 1Faculty of Biotechnology, Universitas Katolik Atma Jaya Indonesia Jalan Jenderal Sudirman 51, Jakarta 12930, Indonesia Antibiotics are organic compounds produced by various microorganisms and have the ability to inhibit the growth or kill other microorganisms. However, the irrational application of antibiotics lead to resistance of microorganisms so that they become ineffective. The objectives of this study were to isolate and characterize new antibiotics from Indonesian coastal marine bacteria. In this study, a total of 141 isolates consisting of seven Streptomyces sp. isolates and 134 isolates of other marine bacteria, were obtained from Indonesian coastal regions. Based on antimicrobial activity assay, four sp. and five marine bacteria isolates showed Streptomyces antimicrobial activity towards and aureus with the diameter of inhibition of 3-12 Bacillus cereus Staphylococcus mm. Further, antimicrobial compounds were produced successfully extracted with six organic solvents, such as 1-butanol, dichloromethane, n-hexane, chloroform, and toluene. The best solvent to extract antimicrobial compounds from sp. isolates was 1-butanol, while the best solvent to extract antimicrobial Streptomyces compounds from other marine bacteria isolates could not be specified. Antimicrobial compounds were successfully separated by thin layer chromatography with mobile phase used were 1-butanol, acetic acid, and water at a ratio of 4:1:2 and retention values obtained at 0.50 and 0.63.

However, the irrational application of antibiotics lead to resistance of microorganisms so that they become ineffective (Sunaryanto 2009). In 2003, antibiotics used for et al. treatment of diseases were 84% of hospitalized patients in Indonesia. Meanwhile, in 2012 the results of surveillance showed decline of inappropriate use of antibiotics, however extended-spectrum β-lactamase- producing Escherichia coli and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus increased. In addition, 81% of the hospitalized patients carried multiresistant , E. coli such as resistance to ampicillin (73%), trimethoprim (56%), chloramphenicol (43%), ciprofloxacin (22%), and gentamicin (18%) (Hadi . 2013). This triggers et al research to renew the mechanism of existing antibiotics and to seek and obtain new antibiotics from new resources, such as coastal region. Almost 70% of antibiotics originated from Actinomycetes Streptomyces, mostly from the genera . Actinomycetes has the ability to synthesize secondary metabolites, such as enzymes and antibiotics. One of the countries with largest coastal region is Indonesia - mailto:stella.magdalena@atmajaya.ac.id 88 VERONICA ET AL . Microbiol Indones an archipelago which has sea covering up two-thirds of its entire region. Moreover, sea has greater biodiversity than land so that the type of microorganisms obtained from the coastal region will also be more varied compared to soil microorganisms. However, the potential of marine and other marine Actinomycetes bacteria producing antimicrobial compounds has not been explored (Sunaryanto 2009; Gokulkrishnan et al. et al. 2011). The objectives of this study were to isolate and characterize new antibiotics from Indonesian coastal marine bacteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS . Samples were collected from Samples Collection 22 coastal regions in Java, Sumatera, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi. Sea sediments and water samples (approximately 80-100 cm below sea level) were collected and stored at 4 °C. Bacterial Isolation. Sediment samples were heated at 65 °C for 60 min to suppress Gram-negative bacteria and to optimize the growth of marine Streptomyces et al sp. (Sunaryanto . 2009). One gram of dried sample were inoculated into 100 mL modified Starch Casein Broth and incubated at 28 °C with 120 rpm agitation for 7 d. After 7 d incubation, samples were diluted to 10 and spread to modified -2 Starch Casein Agar (SCA) and Marine Agar (MA) (Difco). Both media were incubated at 28 °C for 7 d. Colonies with different morphologies were picked and cultivated in SCA for sp. and MA for Streptomyces other marine bacteria (Poorani . 2009).et al Preliminary Screening of Antimicrobial Activity. Each isolate was inoculated into 10 mL Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) (Oxoid) and incubated at 28 °C with 120 rpm agitation for 6 days for Streptomyces sp. and 3 days for other marine bacteria. After incubation, the medium were centrifuged at 13 684 ×g (Thermo Scientific) for 15 min. The supernatant was collected and used in the antimicrobial activity assay. Test bacteria used for the antimicrobial activity assay were foodborne pathogens. The assay was done using agar well diffusion against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Salmonella typhi Pseudomonas aeruginosa,, and Enteropathogenic All of them were obtained E. coli. from Atma Jaya Culture Collection. The clear zone around each well were interpreted as positive results of antimicrobial activity. Pure Extraction of Antimicrobial Compound. cultures that have antimicrobial activity were inoculated into 60 mL BHI and incubated at 28 °C with 120 rpm agitation for 6 d for sp. and 3 Streptomyces days for other marine bacteria. After incubation, the medium were centrifuged at 5 857 ×g (Thermo Scientific) for 15 min. The supernatant was collected and transferred to a new tube. Extraction of antimicrobial compound was done with method of Augustine . (2005). The organic solvents used et al were 1-butanol, dichloromethane, chloroform, n- hexane, and toluene (Merck). The organic phase was collected, air-dried overnight, and dissolved in 1 mL Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). The crude extract are to be used in the next step. Secondary Screening of Antimicrobial Activity. Crude extract from previous step was used in the antimicrobial activity assay. The antimicrobial activity assay was done using agar well diffusion against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), ,Salmonella typhi Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli. and Enteropathogenic Positive results of antimicrobial activity were determined by measuring the sizes of inhibitory zone around the wells. About Separation of Antimicrobial Compounds. 2 µl of crude extract was spotted on silica 60 F254 (Merck). The plate was placed in TLC chamber which contains the mobile phase. Several mobile phase combination were used, such as 1-butanol:acetic acid:water (4:1:2) (Dharmaraj . 2010), et al ethanol:water:chloroform (4:4:2) (Augustine et al. 2005), methanol:dichloromethane (1:10) (Zheng . et al 2005a), and methanol:acetic acid:benzene (3:1:1) (Selvendran and Babu 2013). The plate was dried and visualized under ultraviolet (UV) light or sprayed with H SO . The retention factor (Rf) value for each spot 2 4 were measured using standard formula. R f value = distance travelled by solute distance travelled by solvent. RESULTS Bacterial Isolation. A total of 141 isolates with different morphologies from 22 coastal regions were obtained from SCA and MA medium (Table 1). From 141 isolates, only seven isolates were Actinomycetes and all of them were isolated from Sindhu Sanur Beach, Bali. Volume 8, 2014 Microbiol Indones 89 Preliminary Screening of Antimicrobial Activity. From 141 isolates, only nine isolates showed antimicrobial activity. There were four Streptomyces sp. isolates and five isolates of other marine bacteria from Sindhu Sanur Beach, Bali.

DISCUSSION The microorganisms living and growing in the ma ri ne e nvi ro nme nt a r e me ta boli ca lly a nd physiologically more diverse compared to terrestrial microorganisms. However, the potential of marine microorganism has not been explored, especially marine microorganisms in Indonesian's marine e n v i r o n m e n t . T h e m o s t s t u d i e d m a r i n e microorganisms are , while other marine Actinomycetes bacteria have not yet been extensively studied. From pre vious study, mar ine with Ac tinom yce tes antimicrobial activity were successfully isolated from three beaches in Indonesia, such as Cirebon Desa Gebang Beach, Anyer Beach, and Kukup Gunung Kidul Yogyakarta Beach (Sunaryanto . 2009). In et al this study, the objective was to isolate Actinomycetes and other marine bacteria from different location in Indonesia possessing antimicrobial activity. From 141 marine bacteria that were successfully isolated from 22 coastal regions in Indonesia, only seven isolates were . Previous study also Actinomycetes obtained similar results (Sunaryanto 2009). The et al. number of that were successfully Actinomycetes isolated from the marine environment tends to be less than the number of that were isolated Actinomycetes from soil and brackish water. It suggests soil structure, humidity, and pH in soil and brackish water are optimum condition for growth.Actinomycetes Furthermore, only nine from 141 isolates (6%) showed antimicrobial activity in this study. Similar result were also obtained by a previous study reporting that only five from 77 isolates (6%), from sediment and sea water, have antimicrobial activity (Zheng . et al 2005b). Usually, bacteria are associated with marine invertebrates and seaweeds have greater activity than bacteria isolated from sediment and sea water. These bacteria could acquire the necessary nutrition from their hosts, while on the other hand, they could excrete products such as antibiotic and toxin to improve the chemical defense capability of the hosts. The result of antimicrobial activity assay showed that the isolates were active against Gram-positive bacteria ( and ) compared to Gram-B. cereus S. aureus negative bacteria. It is caused by the structural differences between these microorganisms. Gram- negative bacteria having an outer polysaccharide membrane that makes the cell wall impermeable to lipophilic solutes, while Gram-positive bacteria having only a peptidoglycan layer which is not an effective permeability barrier (Khajure and Rathod 2011). Throughout secondary screening, all isolates showed different activities compared to preliminary screening. Some isolates lost their activities, such as isolate F3.S1 and F3.S3 were only inhibited by S. aureus S. aureus, whereas previously they could inhibit B. cereus, E. coli and (Table 4). According to Khajure and Rathod (2011), during screening of antimicrobial c omp ou nds , ma r in e ba c te r ia o fte n sh ow e d antimicrobial activity on agar but not in liquid medium. However, F3.8 showed improved activity depicting greater inhibition zone after extraction (Table 3, Table 4). When compared with marine Actinomycetes isolates obtained by Sunaryanto (2009), marine et al. Actinomycetes in this study had a lower activity. Their isolates could inhibit , E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and . To get a better activity, isolates in Bacillus subtilis this study should be grown in a richer medium and incubated for longer time. Based on the results, the antimicrobial compounds can be extracted with 1-butanol, dichloromethane, n- hexane, chloroform, and toluene. These results differ from previous study reporting that antimicrobial compounds can only be extracted with n-hexane and petroleum ether, and cannot be extracted using other solvents such as n-butanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform, benzene, and xylene (Augustine . 2005). It showed et al that antimicrobial compounds should be extracted with different solvents depending on the suitability of antimicrobial compounds and solvents polarity. The best solvent to extract antimicrobial compounds from sp. isolates was 1-Streptomyces butanol, however the best solvent to extract antimicrobial compounds from marine bacteria isolates cannot be specified. In this study, solvents with higher polarity yield better extraction of antimicrobial compounds. Similar result was also obtained by previous study that used a range of solvents like n- hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, benzene, n-butanol, and ethanol to extract the antimicrobial compounds from (Rabah 2007). They reported Actinomycetes et al. that n-hexane and chloroform were poor solvents, while n-butanol was a good solvent to extract the antimicrobial compounds. The reason is that n-butanol is more polar compared to n-hexane and chloroform. In this study, inhibition zones produced from crude extract is greater than inhibition zones from cell free supernatant. Similar result were also obtained by previous study that inhibition zones after extraction with ethyl acetate is greater than before extraction (Jafarzade . 2013). Extraction of antimicrobial et al Volume 8, 2014 Microbiol Indones 91 compounds will increase the purity and therefore will result in a better zone of inhibition since the impurities contained in the cell free supernatant could interfere in the antimicrobial activity. Separation using TLC with various mobile phase combinations showed different number and position of spots, and also Rf values. It depends on the suitability of antimicrobial compounds, stationary phase, and mobile phase polarity. The best mobile phase combination is 1-butanol, acetic acid, and water because it produced two spots that showed there are two compounds in one solution. The second spot with 0.63 Rf value can inhibit while the first spot B. cereus, with 0.50 Rf value cannot inhibit . It showed B. cereus that the second spot is an antimicrobial compound that has a high purity because it is still able to inhibit bacterial growth with low concentration (marked with a thin spot on TLC plate). However the first spot may not necessarily be an antimicrobial compound. The first spot may be an antimicrobial compound that loses its activity because both of these compounds are synergistic so that when they were separated it will reduce their activity. In addition, the first spot may have antimicrobial activity against other test bacteria (Mangunwardoyo . 2009).et al Other mobile phase combination is ethanol, water, and chloroform with ratio 4:4:2. Polarity between antimicrobial compound and mobile phase is almost similar so that the compound was carried by the mobile phase. Other mobile phase combination is methanol and dichloromethane with ratio 1:10. Polarity between antimicrobial compound and mobile phase is not similar so that the compound is not carried by the mobile phase and not separated properly. These results differ from previous studies. It showed that the antimicrobial compounds and Rf value were different (Zheng . 2005a; Selvendran and Babu 2013).et al Four sp. and five marine bacteria Streptomyces isolates from Sindhu Sanur Beach, Bali showed antimicrobial activities towards and B. cereus S. aureus with the diameter of inhibition about 3-12 mm. All of the solvents can be used to extract the antimicrobial compounds depending on the suitability of antimicrobial compounds and solvents polarity. The best solvent to extract the antimicrobial compound from sp. isolates was 1-butanol, while the Streptomyces best solvent to extract antimicrobial compound from marine bacteria isolates could not be specified. The best mobile phase combination on TLC for separating the antimicrobial compounds is 1-butanol, acetic acid, and water (4:1:2) with 0.50 and 0.63 Rf values.
