KARAKTERISASI PARSIAL AKTINOMISETES HASIL ISOLASI DARI TANAH KEBUN SAYUR YANG DITANAMI PARE (Momordica charantia L.)

Abstract

Actinomycetes have the ability to produce various products of bioactive compounds that are widely used for industrial purposes. A variety of promising actinomycetes potential leads to sustainable exploration efforts. Vegetable garden soil is one of the potential sources for obtaining actinomycetes. The purpose of this study was to isolate and characterize actinomycetes from soil sampled from bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) garden in Pekanbaru. Actinomycetes was isolated using serial dilution and spread plate method on Starch Casein Agar (SCA) medium. The results found five actinomycetes isolates with various macroscopic, microscopic, and biochemical characteristics.
