Endophytic Bacteria Producing Antimicrobial Compounds of Musa balbisiana Colla

Abstract

This study aims to obtain endophytic bacteria on Banana Hump (Musa Balbisiana Colla), know its ability to produce antimicrobial compounds and determine the identity of endophytic bacteria producing antimicrobial compounds. This research is quantitative descriptive research. Isolation of endophytic bacteria based on streak plate method and activity analysis antimicrobials using the Kirby Bauer method. Identification of endophytic bacteria based on morphological characteristics and molecular. The results showed that there was one type of endophytic bacteria that had the potential to have antibacterial activity hinder Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus with the diameter of the inhibition zone on the test bacteria Eschercia colii.e. 8,10 and on Staphylococcus aureus 7.76mm. Bacterial isolates identified as Enterobacter ronggenkampii are closely related to Enterobacter ronggenkampii strain colony 354 chromosomes with a similarity index of 99.22%.
