ACTINOMYCETES YANG DIISOLAT DARI MANGROVE Rhizophora apiculata DI PERAIRAN TANJUNG API-API, SUMATERA SELATAN
Daftar Isi:
- Tanjung Api-api mangrove is one of the coastal ecosystem in South Sumatera. One of the endophyte bacteria kind which found at the mangrove plant is Actinomycetes. Bioactive compound which form Actinomycetes can be use as potential medicine in medic industry and pharmacy sector. This study aimed to obtain and identify the kinds of the Actinomycetes bacteria at mangrove Rhizophora apiculata from Tanjung Api-api waters, South Sumatera. This research method included measurement of environmental parameters, mangrove sampling, isolation, characterization and identification of bacteria. The result of research showed that isolates code AB T4 had moderate characteristics, circular shape, entire edge, covex elevation, white colonies, had hyphae, rod shaped cells, non motile, aerobic, gram positive, negative oxidase, indole and gelatin, positive in catalase, citrate, urea, ornithine, aesculin, galactose, glucose and trehalose, OF oxidative and fermentative. The isolates code Leaf T2 had moderate characteristics, irregular shape, undulate edge, raised elevation, cream white colonies, had hyphae, gram positive, rod shaped cells, non motile, aerobic, positive in catalase, ornithine, aesculin, celobiose, glucose, lactose, melibiose, sorbitol and trehalose, negative for oxidase, citrate, urea, gelatin and indole, OF oxidative and fermentative. Based on the results obtained from mangrove R.apiculata samples which came from Tanjung Api-api waters of South Sumatra, two isolates of Actinomycetes were identified as genera Nocardia in lower root samples (AB T4) and genera Actinomadura in leaf samples (Leaf T2).
