- Abstract
East Kalimantan has a very wide area for coal mining. However, not all coal mining companies carry out land reclamation before coal mine was abandoned. This marginal land is very potential to be utilized as productive land, although efforts must be done to minimize the main limiting factor in coal mining site, namely low soil fertility by utilizing endophytic bacteria found in ex-coal mining sites. This research aimed to isolate and identify endophytic microorganisms in coal mining sites with potential to play a role in coal mining reclamation related to plant nutrient level. The method used in this research was exploration method, by determining sample points in former coal mining sites with high representation value. Samples were taken from 5 points in 3 different former mining sites located in East Penajam Paser Regency, East Borneo, with a total of 15 sample locations. Bacterial isolation was performed followed by characterization and identification using gram staining and calculation of comparable coefficients. To determine the percentage of comparable coefficients (Ss) of positive and negative similarities of characteristics from each bacterial species, the morphological and physiological test results of the Bacillus bacteria were used. The isolation results showed that there were 11 (eleven) isolates which could be identified into 11 types of bacteria which were potential as a nutrient level role based on the results of the characterization ex-coal mining sites; Bacillus pantothenticus, B. mycoides, B. firmus, B. brevis, B. stearothermophilus, B. anthracis, B. laterosporus, B. sphaericus, B. sphaericus, B. alvei, and B. firmus. All isolates came from Bacillus genus with similarity percentage at 65-70%.
