Abstract:
Actinomycetes are gram-positive bacteria whose colonies are similar to
fungi because they have hyphae. Actinomycetes have been known as strains that
produce metabolites that play an important role in various fields. The potential of
actinomycetes is high, so it is necessary to isolate and to characterize their
properties. The bacteria were isolated from rhizosphere soils that have dense
microbial population. The study successfully obtained two isolates from the
rhizosphere soil of the siak-siak (Dianella ensifolia) plants. The two isolates
showed different morphological characteristics and biochemical test results
