Isolasi Dan Seleksi Bakteri Penghasil Dekstran Dari Nira Kelapa: Upaya Mencari Penghantar Obat Berbasis Nano
ABSTRACT
Dextran is a homopolysaccharide α-glucan from glucose. Dextran has a diverse structure and properties so that it is widely applied in various industrial fields such as in the pharmaceutical field which is used as a drug carrier. Drugs have toxicity that is difficult to predict so they require drug delivery to more easily reach target cells and reduce drug side effects. Dextran has a small size with properties that are easily degraded by enzymes so that it has the potential to be a drug carrier. Dextran as a drug carrier can be isolated from bacterial isolates on sucrose-enriched medium. This research aims to isolate and select dextran-producing bacteria and their potential as nano-based drug carriers. Bacterial isolation from coconut sap samples taken from 4 different locations was isolated by spread plate technique using dextran-selective medium. Dextran-producing bacteria are characterized by mucoid and ropy colonies that furthermore purified to obtain a single isolate. Based on the isolation of bacteria from coconut sap, 6 isolates of bacteria capable of producing dextran were obtained. Dextran production is carried out by fermentation on a medium enriched with 15% sucrose and gets the highest production of 18 g/L produced by NPL 1.3 isolate. Next, the viscosity of dextran is carried out with an Ostwald viscometer. The highest viscosity of dextran obtained was 1,27 cP at a concentration of 2,5% by dextran from NPL 1.2 isolate. The viscosity of dextran that can be used as a nano-based drug delivery is 37 cP to 396 cP. The viscosity of 6 dextrans obtained is still relatively low so it needs a higher concentration of dextran so that it can be used as a nano-based drug carrier.
Key findings: Dextran-producing bacteria, dextran, coconut sap, isolation, drug carrier.
