Judul: Isolasi dan Seleksi Bakteri Selulolitik Termofilik dari Kawah Air Panas Gunung Pancar, Bogor
Abstrak: Cellulase has important roles in paper, textile, food, and detergent industries. Application of cellulase in industries requires the cellulase to be active and stable at high temperature. Exploration of thermophilic bacteria from crater of hot spring is one of way to obtain thermostable cellulase. The aim of this research was to isolation thermophilic bacteria which has cellulolytic activity from White and Red Crater of Mount Pancar. Cellulolytic activity was determined by ability of bacteria to degrade carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) substrate. Cellulolytic bacteria was selected based on clear zone which form surrounding the colonies. Cellulase activity was measured by dinitrosalisilic acid (DNS) method. Growth pattern of cellulolytic bacteria was determined. Results showed that bacterial isolates from White and Red Crater of Mount Pancar able to produce cellulase. There were 8 colonies (KP1, KP2, KP3, KP4, KP5, KP6, KP7, and KP10) from white crater and 1 colony (KM1) from red crater showing ability to degrade CMC. KP4 isolate had the higest diameter ratio of clear zone and enzyme activity ( 3.8 and 6.11 x 10-3 U/mL) than KM1 isolate (1.7 and 1.17 x 10-3 U/mL). Both isolates had same growth pattern.

Judul: Isolasi dan Identifikasi Bakteri Termofilik Penghasil Selulase dari Kelapa Sawit (Elaeis guineensis)
Abstrak: Cellulase is an enzyme catalyzing hydrolysis of cellulose which usually consists of endoglucanases (EC.3.2.1.4), exoglucanases (EC.3.2.1.91) and β-glucosidases (EC.3.2.1.21). Cellulase is a very important enzyme due to its numerous industrial applications. The aim of this research were to isolate and identify cellulase-producing thermophilic bacteria that can be used to increase value added in oil palm industries. Samples of soil, empty fruit bunch compost and palm kernel meal were collected from oil palm plantation for obtained thermophilic bacteria. The samples were screened of cellulase-producing thermophilic bacteria by using a Congo Red method were made on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) agar plates. The bacterial cultures were incubated in a shaking incubator (140 rpm) at 50oC for 24 hours. The assay for the enzymatic activity was based on the release of glucose that was detected using 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS). In this research, 19 isolates of bacteria were isolated. It was found that 11 isolates of bacteria showed positive results with clear zone around the cultures by using Congo Red method. The result showed that isolates for CK1, EM4 and CK3 possesed the highest enzyme activity of 13.56, 12.50 and 10.49 U mL-1 for cellulase was detected at pH 7, respectively. The results of strain identification based on 16S rRNA showed that strain CK1, EM4 and CK3 were identified as Bacillus subtilis.

Judul: The Macroeconomic effects of goverment expenditure in ASEAN plus Three
Abstrak: Fiscal policy is one of the goverment policy to increase growth in a reasonable level. The impact of fiscal policy shock has different effect on each country around the world. The effect of goverment spending shocks led to increase growth in USA but decrease growth in Germany, as reflected by the decline in private investment. This study aims to analize the effect of goverment expenditure in ASEAN plus Three, by using vector error correction model (VECM), impulse respone function (IRF), forecasting error variance decomposition (FEVD) and pass-through effect.
