Abstract

Prebiotics are good coumpounds used in the growth of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in digestion, prebiotics come from vegetables, fruits and seeds. Tomatoes are thought to be one of the natural media of bacteria because tomatoes contain various chemical compositions that are needed as a substrate for LAB. The purpose of this study is to isolate and determine the type of LAB produced microscopically. The ingredients used are tomatoes obtained from Padang Panjang market, with Merck NA media, oxoid MRSa, 0,9% NaCl, and crystal violet paint. Isolation LAB from tomatoes done in two ways, the first with plant tomato tissue directly into the NA medium and the second with fermentation tomato and then plant the tomato into the MRSa medium with streak plate methods. The isolates obtained were identified microscopically using a microscope with gram staining method. From the research that has been done, the following result are obtained : (1) Plant tomatoes tissue direcly into NA medium and gram staining, there were 1 colonies of gram positive bacteria with bacil cell form. (2). Fermentation tomatoes from the results, there were 2 colonies gram positive bacteria with bacil cell form. We can identify this colonies as Lactobacillius bulgaricus.

Abstract

Abstract.Pseudomonad fluorescent is one of the rhizobacteria groups that could potentially be developed as a crop endurance inducer. Several species of fluorescent pseudomonad are able to produce siderophores. Siderophore is an antimicrobial organic compound that plays a role in biological control of plant diseases. This study aims to determine the best carbon source for the production of siderophores from the fluorescent pseudomonad isolates PfCas3 and PfLAHp2. The carbon sources are fructose, glucose, and glycerol. Detection of siderophores was measured using a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 410 nm. The results showed that the best growth medium for producing siderophores was KB + glucose medium for both PfCas3 and PfLAHp2 isolates. The best combination was the use of PfCas3 isolate with the addition of carbon glucose source which resulted in the production of siderophores of 1.574.

Abstract

Thermophilic bacteria are bacteria that can produce thermostable enzymes and used in various industries. Thermostable enzymes that can be produced by thermophilic microorganisms one of them is xylanase enzyme. Xylanase produced by microbes has optimum temperature characteristics and more diverse optimum pH on various substrates, which will affect the activity of the resulting xylanase enzyme. The influence of temperature greatly determines the activity of the enzyme at the time of catalyzing a reaction. At optimum pH conditions, the enzyme has an active side conformation that is substrate-like so that it can form a complex of appropriate enzymes and produce the product to its full potential. One of the thermophilic bacterial habitats of hot springs in West Sumatera is the Aro Sapan River hot spring located in Koto Parik Gadang Subdistrict in Ateh, South Solok District. The Saw Aro River hot spring has a temperature of 75 ° C and is pH 8 or alkaline. The aim to this research was to know the profile of the growth of thermophilic bacteria. This research is a descriptive method. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The conclusion is the best activity of xylanase thermophilic bacteria was at the sixth time incubation.
