Abstract

Actinomycetes are Gram-positive bacteria that could produce antibacterial compounds, and it is able to survive in high temperatures environment such as hot springs. In this study, Actinomycetes were isolated from Bora hot springs before, characterized, and determined their potential in – other antibacterial activity. The isolation method was to pour the plate using SCA (Starch Casein Agar) media. The isolates were then purified by using the streak plate method and characterized their properties macroscopically and microscopically. Antibacterial activity was performed against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that there were 5 Actinomycetes isolates (namely AB-1, AB-2, AB-3, AB-4, AB-5) with different characters on each isolate. Isolates AB-1 and AB-3 were able to inhibit the growth of E. coli and S. aureus, while AB-2, AB-4, and AB-5 did not inhibit either E. coli or S. aureus. Based on the test results, it can be concluded that Actinomycetes isolates from Bora hot springs have potency in producing antibacterial compounds for commercial purposes.
