Abstract

Bacteria isolated from leachate with high heavy metal concentration mostly have potential for bioremediation. The aim of this study was to isolate bacteria from leachate of a landfill containing high concentration of Fe. The leachate sample was collected from Gampong Jawa Landfill, Aceh, Indonesia and used to isolate the bacteria by spread method. The purification of the isolates was carried out through four quadrant plate method. Pure isolates were characterized based on the microscopic or macroscopic appearance and biochemical tests. Fe-resistance was tested by disc diffusion method and constructing the growth curve based on the optical density of broth culture media. A total of 27 pure isolates were obtained and identified, representing eight different genera: Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Neisseria, Micrococcus, Staphylococcus, Proteus, Acinetobacter, and Escherichia. Of eight isolates (each genus was represented by a single isolate), Pseudomonas sp. and Bacillus sp. were considered resistant to Fe exposure (15 ppm) with inhibition zones of 1.00 and 0.81 mm, respectively. At Fe concentration of 20 ppm the inhibition zones exceeded 1 mm, but Bacillus sp. had smaller inhibition zone than that of Pseudomonas sp. (1.15 mm versus 2.86 mm). Growth inhibition of Bacillus sp. was concentration-dependent on Fe exposure but could survive at Fe exposure up to 20 ppm. In conclusion, Bacillus sp. had a resistance against Fe exposure and its bioremediation potential is subjected for future studies.

Abstract

Pathogenic fungi pose constraints and reduce shallot production. Trichoderma sp. is an antagonistic fungus capable of controlling pathogen growth in shallots. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of Trichoderma sp. and pathogens in shallots and to assess the antagonistic ability of Trichoderma sp. against shallot pathogens (Allium ascalonicum L.). Trichoderma sp. and shallot pathogens were isolated using a serial dilution agar plate method using potato dextrose agar medium with 7-day incubation. The antagonistic activity of Trichoderma sp. against shallot pathogens was evaluated based on the dual culture method. In this study, we successfully isolated Trichoderma harzianum from the shallot leaf and its root systems. Moreover, four morphologically distinctive pathogens from shallot roots and leaves were successfully isolated (l Aspergillus sp., Colletotrichum sp., Phytium sp. and Penicillium sp. T. harzianum was found to have the ability to inhibit 23.45% growth of Aspergillus sp, 26.19% growth of Colletotrichum sp., 75.40% growth of Phytium sp., and 40.38% growth of Penicillium sp. In conclusion, the isolated T. harzianum had a strong antagonistic activity against some pathogens in the shallot, but the activity was weak against some others.
