Abstract

Cacao (Theobrama cacao) is one of the main plantation commodities in Indonesia which has an important role for the national economy. The low productivity of cacao plants in Indonesia is due to the condition of old plants, pests and diseases attacks which affect the quality of the fruit and decrease the plant’s productivity. The objective of this study was to isolate and identify of endophytic bacteria from stem, flower, leaf and fruit of T. cacao by using 16S rRNA gene as genetic marker. Twenty seven endophytic bacterial isolates were collected from local plantation in Yogyakarta area.  From this study, 8 endophytic bacterial strains exhibited the higher PGP traits. The isolates produced Indole Acetic Acid level by 0.3 to 5.21 ppm/hour. All of isolates had nitrogen fixation activity but have not phosphate solubilization activity. Among them, isolates CSDT 4 and CGKBH 4 showed promising potential as PGP bacteria. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences, those bacterial strains were identified as Brevibacillus brevis (CSDT 4) and Pantoea sp. (CGKBH 4). We propose that the B. brevis and Pantoea sp. which is reported for the first time for their PGP potential in cacao, exerts its beneficial effects on cacao crop through combined of activities. The potential PGP bacteria from the Cacao plant was used to make a specific bio-fertilizer formula for the Cacao plant, because of the different needs and condition that every plant requires.

Abstract

Endophytic bacteria found in the roots, stems, and leaves of plants have potential as biocontrol agents and drivers of plant development, besides that in plant roots there are also plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) with the same ability. The consortium of the two bacteria will produce Indole 3 acetic acid (IAA) compounds which are then converted into auxins that are beneficial to plants. The research aims to determine the ability of endophytic bacteria and PGPR from the roots of curly red chili plants in producing auxin hormones. The research work procedure includes rejuvenation of bacterial isolates, macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, measuring auxin levels using HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography). The results showed that the consortium of 6 bacteria (3 endophytes and 3 PGPR) produced an auxin concentration of 46.122 ppm, a consortium of endophytic bacteria of 24.201 ppm, a consortium of PGPR bacteria of 162.723 ppm, and finally single endophytic bacteria and single PGPR bacteria produced auxin of A 158.913 ppm; B 64.882 ppm; C 93.923 ppm; CB1 240.817 ppm; CB2 186.807 ppm; and CMBC 11.689 ppm, while for the control 0 ppm. In conclusion, the highest auxin concentration was obtained from the single result of PGPR bacteria CB1 240.817 ppm.
