Abstract

Priming is a seed-soaking technique to increase seed viability and also suppress pathogens' growth. Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the pathogens in rice plants that causes leaf blast disease. The high rice consumption each year in Indonesia is not proportional to the amount of rice plant production, which is affected by the growth of pathogenic fungi. This study aims to determine the viability and percentage inhibition of Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma harzianum against the growth of the pathogenic fungus Magnaporthe oryzae on local West Sumatra rice varieties Ceredek, Pandan Pulau, and Batang Sungkai. The research was conducted by testing the viability of microbes by counting the number of colonies and testing microbial antagonists with the Dual Culture method on seven days of observation. The results showed that Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma harzianum could inhibit the growth of the pathogen M. oryzae, which causes leaf blast disease. The viability of Bacillus subtilis after biopriming for 48 hours was most significant on Ceredek variety, which was 15.9x106 cfu/g, and for Trichoderma harzianum on Pandan Pulau variety, which was 0.4x106 cfu/g. The most significant inhibition percentage of Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma harzianum was obtained in Ceredek rice with a value of 30.13% (medium category) and 63.04% (high category).

Abstract

The rising incidence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria presents a considerable global health threat, requiring the immediate creation of new antimicrobial drugs. A possible strategy involves investigating antibiotics sourced from endophytic bacteria, which are microorganisms that inhabit plant tissues symbiotically. This research is to assess the inhibitory efficacy of endophytic bacteria derived from Lagenaria sicerari against, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The identified endophytic bacteria were cultivated in a fermentation medium to synthesize antibiotics, and their growth curves were examined. Subsequently, antibacterial activity assays were performed against the three harmful bacteria, measuring the sizes of the clear inhibitory zones. The results indicated that Isolated Bacteria Endophytic (IBE) 1 attained optimal inoculum levels at 24 hours and sustained the stationary phase from 24 to 36 hours. The isolates exhibited optimum fermentation on a medium utilizing glucose as the carbon source, with a carbon-to-nitrogen ratio of 5. IBE 1 had the most effective antibacterial action against P. aeruginosa, with a moderate inhibition characterized by clear zone widths of 10.80 mm. The findings indicate that endophytic bacteria from Lagenaria siceraria may serve as promising sources of new antimicrobial drugs, especially against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
