AbstrakBakteri endofit merupakan mikroorganisme menguntungkan yang berinteraksi dengan tanaman inang tanpa menyebabkan gangguan atau kerusakan pada tanaman.Beberapa studi menunjukkan bahwa bakteri endofit tertentu dapat memproduksi senyawa kimia yang memiliki efek bagi kesehatan, terutama bakteri endofit yang diisolasi dari tanaman obat.Binahong (Anredera cordifolia) dan Ketepeng Cina (Cassia alata) merupakan tanaman obat yang telah diketahui memiliki beberapa khasiat.Tujuan dari penelitian ini ialah mengisolasi dan mengkarakterisasi bakteri endofit dari kedua tanaman tersebut melalui uji antibakteriterhadap tiga jenis bakteri patogen manusia (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, dan Bacillus cereus). Metode: Jumlah bakteri endofit yang berhasil diisolasi dari dua tanaman tersebut berjumlah 73 isolat (37 isolat dari Binahong dan 36 isolat dari Ketepeng Cina). Hasil: Berdasarkan uji antibakteri terhadap tiga bakteri patogen diperoleh 16 isolat bakteri endofit yang memiliki aktivitas potensial (ditandai dengan terbentuknya zona hambat), yaitu 1 isolat dari Ketepeng Cina (terhadap Pseudomonas aeruginosa) dan 15 isolat dari Binahong. Pembahasan: Terbentuknya zona hambat mengindikasikan kemungkinan adanya senyawa kimia yang memiliki efek antibakteri.Kata kunci: bakteri endofit, Anredera cordifolia, Cassia alata, antibakteri.AbstractEndophytic bacteria is a beneficial microorganism that interacts with plant without causing any harm to the host. Most studies showed that certain endophytic bacteria can produce chemical compound which have medical effect, especially endophytic bacteria isolated from medicinal plant. Binahong (Anrederacordifolia) and KetepengCina (Cassia alata) are several of medicinal plants potential to be used for medical purpose. Methods: The objective of this study was to isolate and to characterize endophytic bacteria from both plants through antibacterial activity test against to three kinds of human pathogenic bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus). Results: total isolated endophytic bacteria from both plants are 73 isolates (37 isolates from Binahong and 36 isolates from KetepengCina). There were 16 isolates have potential activity (indicated by clear zone), one isolate from KetepengCina and 15 isolates from Binahong. Discussion: The formed clear zone indicates antibacterial compounds produced by endophyticbacteriatested. Further research is needed to identify the type of antibacterial compounds produced.Keywords:endophytic bacteria, Anrederacordifolia, Cassia alata, antibacterial.

Paddy var Rojoleleis asuperior paddy come from Klaten that released by Department of Agriculture in 2003. Its superior properties are resistant to pests leaf hoppers, fluffier, and fragrant. To increase the productivity of paddy that are of ten used by farmers is to use chemical-based fertilizers. The use of these chemicals will effect to adisruption of ecosystem balancing, reduction the amount of soil microflora which essential forplants. Endophytic bacteria are symbiotic microorganisms living within plant tissues, and does not cause negative effects on the host plant. Endophytic bacteria have a capability increasing crop productivity by producing growth hormone, contributes to plant health, and as bio-control agents. Some endophytic bacteria which contribute to plant growth are: Pseudomonas sp., Enterobacter sp., Staphylococcus sp., Azotobacter sp., And Azospirilum sp., Whereas endophytic bacteria that contribute to the health and plant protection several of them are: Pseudomonas sp., Serratia sp. ,Clavibacter sp., and Bacillus sp. This study was conducted to investigate potential of endophytic bacteria to increase Paddy var Rojolele productivity based on its ability to produce extracellular enzymes and resistance to multiple types of antibiotics. The method were endophytic bacteria isolation from three Paddy varRojolele plants, extracellular enzymes detection and antibiotic resistance testing to chloramfinekol, ampicillin and kanamycin. As the result, 43isolateswere isolated from Paddy var Rojolele. Four isolatesamong them havethe ability to produce extra cellular enzym esandresistant toampicillin, kanamycin, and chloramfinekol. Extra cellular enzyme production capability and resistance to antibiotics makes endophytic bacteria are potentialto improveplant health and also asbio-control agentwhich then willaffect to the productivity of rice. To further ensure its potential to plant, more research is needed.
