Abstract

Bioindustries often involve biochemical processes that occur at higher temperatures. However, most proteins, including enzymes, lose their structural integrity and functionality at higher temperatures. Thus, thermostable enzymes from thermophilic microorganisms are best suited candidates for successful bioprocessing under such conditions. Indonesia is one of the best study sites for performing bioprospecting of thermostable enzyme-producing thermophilic microorganisms due to the numerous hot springs. To explore the biodiversity of thermophilic microorganisms with potential industrial applications, we isolated and characterized thermophilic bacteria from the Cangar hot spring, Batu, East Java, Indonesia. One isolate (CGR-1) showed growth at 60°C and was identified as Bacillus subtilis subsp. inaquosorum based on 16s rRNA gene sequencing followed by bioinformatic analysis. This is the first report on the isolation of Bacillus subtilis subsp. inaquosorum CGR-1 from Indonesia, especially from a hot spring environment. This isolate showed cellulolytic and amylolytic activity at 50°C, which would encourage further exploration on the industrial and environmental applications.

Abstract

relatively shorter adult phase than the larval stage. The larval stage of this organism lives in piles of organic matter, including in piles of household waste. The ability of larvae to utilize organic matter in their environment is inseparable from the role of potential microbes that produce enzymes associated with their gut. This study aims to isolate, screen, and identify the potential bacteria in producing hydrolytic enzymes from gut of O. rhinoceros larvae. The third instar larvae were dissected aseptically to obtain gut bacterial isolates. The isolates were tested for their ability to produce amylase, cellulose, lipase, and protease using agar plate containing specific substrates. There were eight different isolates, and three of them had the ability to produce all four enzymes. The three isolates were identified as Bacillus. These results can be used as a reference for handling household organic waste.
