Abstract. Fatimah, Rahayuningtyas ND, Nastiti A, Alawiyah DD, Ramadhan E, Geraldi A, Junairiah. 2024. Antibacterial and biosurfactant activity of endophytic bacteria isolated from mangrove plant in Lamongan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 25: 3035-3042. This study aims to determine the antibacterial and biosurfactant activity of 61 endophytic bacteria from mangrove plants in Kutang Lamongan Beach. Antibacterial screening of supernatant of endophytic bacteria was performed using the disc diffusion method against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. The most potent isolate was identified using 16s rRNA. The chemical compounds of the most potent isolate were identified using GC-MS analysis. The data were analyzed descriptively. Biosurfactant activity was also performed on the most potential isolate. All the isolates showed inhibitory zones against E. coli and S. aureus. Isolate LMG-2 produced the highest antimicrobial activity, averaging 9.57±0.4 mm against E. coli and 8.87±0.36 mm against S. aureus. The biosurfactant activity of LMG-2 isolate produced a surface tension of 39.09+0.49 mN/m and emulsification activity of 65.03+0.03% against kerosene, 47.63+0.10% against crude oil and 46.53+0.27 to diesel. The isolate LMG-2 had 98,41% similarity with the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain NBRC 15535 with a query cover of 100%. The biosurfactant extract contains 9-octadecenoic acid methyl ester, (E)-, 9,12-octadecadienoic acid (Z, Z) methyl ester, and 9,12,15-octadecadienoic acid methyl ester. These compounds, known as Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAMEs), were integral components of biosurfactants, surface-active agents produced by microorganisms.

Abstract. Geraldi A, Clement C, Pertiwi MD, Lestari Y, Parinnata DH, Arsad RN, Sadikin RA, Luqman A, Santoso H, Kristanti AN, Manuhara YSW, Wibowo AT. 2024. Isolation and characterization of plant growth-promoting bacteria from medicinal plants Java cardamom (Amomum compactum) and bitter ginger (Zingiber zerumbet). Biodiversitas 25: 2556-2564. Java cardamom (Amomum compactum) and bitter ginger (Zingiber zerumbet) are valuable medicinal plants native to Indonesia with significant economic and pharmacological importance. While their pharmacological properties have been extensively studied, little is known about the role of their endophytic bacterial communities in influencing plant growth and development. Understanding the interactions between these plants and their associated bacteria could provide insights into novel strategies to enhance their cultivation. This study investigates the potential of endophytic bacteria associated with A. compactum and Z. zerumbet in promoting plant growth. Samples were collected from leaf, rhizome, and rhizosphere soil, followed by isolation and characterization of bacterial strains. Molecular identification revealed the presence of Methylobacterium aquaticum, Paenibacillus tyrfis, Priestia megaterium strain 1, Priestia aryabhattai, and Microbacterium arthrosphaerae among the isolated strains from A. compactum, while strains isolated from Z. zerumbet included Enterobacter mori, Pr. megaterium strain 2, and Pr. megaterium strain 3. Those results demonstrated that Pr. megaterium strains exhibited strong phosphate solubilization, nitrogen fixation, and cellulolytic activity, while Pr. aryabhattai and Pa. tyrfis showed significant nitrogen fixation and cellulolytic potential. Additionally, M. aquaticum, Pa. tyrfis, and Pr. aryabhattai exhibited anti-phytopathogenic activity against Xanthomonas campestris. These findings not only highlight the diverse beneficial attributes of the isolated bacterial strains but also suggest their potential application as biofertilizers and biocontrol agents in agriculture, offering a promising avenue for sustainable farming practices.

Abstract. Fatimah, Asritafriha L, Salsabila S, Dewi EK, Ni’matuzahroh, Geraldi A, Ramadhan R, Suwito H, Rahman A, Riyadi L. 2024. Potential of antimicrobial-producing endophytic bacteria from Balikpapan endemic ginger (Etlingera balikpapanensis A.D. Poulsen). Biodiversitas 25: 3005-3013. Etlingera balikpapanensis A.D. Poulsen is a new species of the Zingiberaceae family, which was discovered as an endemic species in the Balikpapan, Kalimantan. This study aimed to isolate endophytic bacteria from endemic Balikpapan ginger (E. balikpapanensis) and evaluate its antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans and to identify the most promising antimicrobial isolates. Plant samples include roots, stems, and leaves. The process of isolating bacteria from various plant parts, such as roots, stems, and leaves, involved repeated subculturing until pure isolates were obtained. Seven pure isolates were successfully obtained, coded as 6D, 5R, 2R, 3D1, 10D, 4R2, and 2D. Macroscopic, microscopic, and biochemical characterization of the seven isolates was carried out. The seven endophytic bacteria had varied macroscopic characteristics and were Gram-positive. The disc diffusion method was used to determine the ability of isolates to produce antimicrobial agents. The isolates showed antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. Isolates 3D1 and 5R showed the highest antibacterial activity against E. coli (8.20±0.47 mm and 8.57±0.08 mm), and 5R also showed the highest antibacterial activity against S. aureus (8.14±0.49 mm). These results demonstrate the potential of these isolates as effective antimicrobial agents. The 16S rRNA gene analysis revealed that isolate 3D1 was identified as Bacillus cereus strain PJA4.2 and isolate 5R as Micrococcus luteus strain SGAir0127 with similarity of 99.55% and 100%, respectively.
