UJI AKTIVITAS ANTIFUNGI ISOLAT ACTINOMYCETES YANG BERASOSIASI DENGAN RIZOSFER PADI (Oriza sativa)
Abstract: Candida albicans and
Aspergillus fumigatus are two fungi that can cause health problems. C. albicans
can lead to thrush while A. fumigatus can cause aspergillosis. The purpose of
this study was to discover the diversity of Actinomycetes isolated from the
rhizosphere of rice (Oriza sativa) as well as to test the resistance to C.
albicans and A. fumigatus. Results of this study indicated that there were 14
different isolates of actinomycetes that were isolated from the rhizosphere and
non-rhizosphere of rice. Among the 14 isolates, three isolates, could inhibit
the growth of C. albicans, which were RPR 8 isolates with diameter 20 mm
(moderate), 42 RPR isolates with diameter 18.33 mm (moderate) and NRPR 6
isolates with diameter 24 mm (medium). However, none of the isolates were able
to inhibit thegrowth of A. fumigatus.
Based on the
results of this
study, it could
be concluded that
the Actino-mycetes isolated from the rhizosphere of rice yield were
potential as antifungal agent for the treatment of candidiasis.
