Uji Efek Antibakteri Jamur Endofit Daun Mangrove Avicennia Marina Terhadap Bakteri Uji Staphylococcus Aureus Dan Shigella Dysenteriae

Abstract

: Endophytic fungi is a species of fungi which lives within plant tissues including leaf's tissues that also harmless for the host plant itself. Isolates of endophytic fungi have a potent antibacterial capability with broad spectrum. The aim of this research is to know whether there is an antibacterial effect of endophytic fungi which isolated from Avicennia marina leaf towards Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella dysenteriae. The method that is used for the antibacterial activity test, done by putting mycelia of endophytic fungi in combination media that has been smeared with Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella dysenteriae. Based on research that has been done, it obtained two types of endophytic fungi isolated from mangrove plant, Avicennia marina leaf. Both endophytic fungi have potential for inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella dysenteriae, but endophytic fungi with white mycelium has a better antibacterial effect than endophytic fungi with black mycelium and positive control
