IDENTIFIKASI JAMUR ENDOFIT AKAR SELUANG BELUM (Luvunga sarmentosa (Blume) Kurz.) SERTA UJI AKTIVITAS ANTIMIKROBANYA

Abstract

Endophytes are microorganisms that part or all of their lives resides in the living plant tissue, no exeption there are the roots of seluang belum (Luvunga sarmentosa (Blume) Kurz.). Endophytic fungi that live in the root of seluang belum (Luvunga sarmentosa (Blume) Kurz.) have been successfully isolated using PDA media, the results obtained 11 fungi isolates. Four selected isolates endophytic fungi were tested for their antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and E. coli by the Kirby Bauer method, the results 2 isolates (IF2 and IF3) were active against the two tested bacterias, isolate IF8 was only active against S. aureus, and isolate IF10 was only active against E. coli. The results of identification of endophytic fungi were carried out macroscopically and microscopically, it was found that IF2 and IF10 isolates were included in the Aspergillus genus.
