ISOLASI DAN IDENTIFIKASI BAKTERI TERMOFILIK DARI SUMBER AIR PANAS DI KERINCI – JAMBI

Abstract

This research aims to identify the genus of thermophilic bacteria found in the hot water source of Abu Kerinci Jambi River Hot Water Village, which can be used for practical material and advanced research on the cultural stock obtained using explorative descriptive methods. The research data were obtained from isolation results using nutrient agar media that was incubated at a temperature of 50°C for 24 to 48 hours, macroscopic observations, microscopic and biochemical tests, as well as genus identification using Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology. The results of the study showed that there were 6 isolates of thermophilic bacteria that were successfully isolated, and after the identification of the 6 isolates of the bacteria, we obtained 5 isolates (S1, S3, S4, S5, and S6) from the genus Pseudomonas and 1 isolate (S2) from the genus Vibrio.
