Abstract

Cemetery is an area provided  for burial and acts as an active bodies disposal site. One group of bacteria which is likely to be found with a high population is the proteolytic bacteria because the human body is made up of 46.85% protein. The exploration of proteolytic bacteria from public cemetery in Indonesia has not been conducted as so this research is necessary and become the main objective of this study. This research is a non-experimental study to isolate soil bacteria from Pracimaloyo public cemetery in the district of Kartasura.  Skim Milk Agar (SMA) is used as selective media. Proteolytic capacity was determined using the proteolytic index (PI). Potential proteolytic bacteria isolates were identified based on  morphology features and PI values > 2 were isolated from P23 and P22 isolates. Bacterial proteolytic isolates are dominantly colonies of white to yellowish with irregular and circular shapes. Gram-staining results indicated that bacterial isolates with proteolytic abilities are belong to Gram-negative bacili bacteria. The highest PI value of bacterial isolates exhibited by P23 isolates and possibly belong to the genus Bacillus. The study has discovered  that Pracimaloyo holds the potential as a proteolytic soil bacteria habitat dominated by the Gram-negative group.

Abstract

Four potential bacteria have been isolated from Klutuk banana plant. They exhibited IAA production. Since the bacterial inoculation to plant should be performed in exponential phase of bacterial growth, information of the growth is crucial. This study aimed to analyze the growth rate of eight isolates and examine the effect of bacterial inoculation by initial trial on rice plants. For this purpose, four endophytic bacteria from Klutuk banana were cultured and examined using 600nm spectrophotometer. The growth of the isolates was calculated every two hours for 16 hours bacterial growth in the nutrient broth medium. The inoculation trial of bacteria to rice plants was conducted with three replicates. This inoculation was begun by germinating the rice seed and the radicle was observed. Then, the germinated rice seedlings were soaked in the bacterial suspension for 5 minutes in room temperature. The results showed that the exponential phase of all isolates was observed 6 hours after shaking. Inoculation using 6-hour-incubated K7 isolate significantly improved the length of root of rice plants. Additionally, this isolate improved the number of root and shoot length without significant difference. Thus, these results provide important information of the growth phase and inoculation effect new isolated endophytic and rhizosphere bacteria.

Abstract

Public Burial Place (PBP) is a cemetery for everyone. In PBP, protein decomposition occurs actively because the human body is made up of 16.4% protein, so it is most likely that proteolytic bacteria can be found. Previous research has isolated as many as 45 isolates from PBP Bonoloyo, Surakarta, but has not selected their proteolytic capabilities. The aim of the study was to isolate proteolytic bacteria from the Bonoloyo Public Cemetery and identify them. The bacterial isolate of PBP Bonoloyo is a collection from the FKIP Biological Laboratory of Muhammadiyah University of Surakarta that selected its proteolytic capabilities using the milk agar scheme (SMA). The parameters measured are the diameter of the colony and the lymphatic zone formed to obtain the value of the proteolytic index (IP). For bacterial isolates showing a positive proteolytic activity, simple identification is carried out through the observation of colonial morphology and Gramme colouring. The results of the study showed that as many as 28 isolates (62.2%) were positive for proteolytic activity, with IP values >2 for B1 and B3. Bacterial proteolytic isolates are dominantly white to yellow with irregular, filamentary, spindle, and circular colonial forms. The results of Gramme colouring show that bacterial isolates that have proteolytic abilities are a group of Gramme negative bacteria that are basil shaped. The bacterial isolate that shows the highest IP value is the B1 isolate, which is suspected to be of the genus Bacillus. This research obtained data showing that in the public cemetery (PBP), Bonoloyo stores potential as a proteolytic bacterial habitat for a group of Gramme negative bacteria.
