Abstract

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid produced by glutamate decarboxylation by the enzyme glutamate decarboxylase and it is widely distributed in plants, animals and microorganisms. GABA-producing microorganisms including Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) which play a role in the fermentation process of food such as rusip. Rusip is a preserved food of marine fish made from raw anchovy of Bangka-Belitung. The purpose of this study was to obtain LAB isolates through the process of isolation from rusip and identify the presence of GABA. Isolation of LAB was carried out by the pour method on MRS agar and NA medium. The growing colonies were then characterized based on observations of colony morphology, Gram staining, catalase test, motility test, and fermentation type test. LAB isolates obtained were selected to obtain isolates which are capable to produce GABA using the Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) method. The results of isolation from rusip and inoculation on MRS agar medium obtained, three LAB isolates namely RSP-A1, RSP-A2, and RSP-A3. Their characteristics are Gram positive bacteria, negative catalase test, negative motility test, and belong to homofermentative and heterofermentative bacteria groups. They were also able to produce GABA. Research on GABA from isolates isolated from rusip is a new thing in the world of GABA research. This research provides information that is beneficial to produce GABA easily, cheaply, and efficiently.

Abstract

Endophytic bacteria isolated from some various kind of plants are able to yield some active compounds which have a role as an antibacterial compound. This work aimed to isolate and to screen the Endophytic bacteria from Faloak seed in its charge in inhibiting two kinds of pathogenic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. There were six isolates of Endophytic bacteria isolated in this work. According to the screening result, one isolate which had the most potential antibacterial activity (marked by the formation of inhibition zone) against S. aureus and E. coli. That most potential isolate was then tested and identified for both biochemical properties and molecular 16S rRNA gene. The result of this study showed that the endophytic bacteria isolate of Faloak seed with the code of S1 had the similarity with Enterobacter xiangfangensis strain 10-17 by 93 %. The research about endophytic bacteria of Faloak plants was never conducted before. Thus this research was expected to give information about the potential of antimicrobial ability Faloak plants which can be utilized in the discovery of new antibiotic compounds which in the future are expected to overcome the problem of microorganism resistance to antibiotics. The use of endophytic bacteria is expected to prevents the extinction of Faloak plants due to excessive use.
