Abstract
Endophytic bacteria is promised solution to suppress basal stem rot disease caused by fungus Ganoderma boninense. The antifungal activities of selected isolate endophytic bacteria from oil palm plantation in South Kalimantan was studied. Bacillus cereus was tested for its antifungal activities of crude chitinase and secondary metabolites against the growth of Ganoderma boninense mycelium with dual cultured method. The results were showed that chitinase had the largest inhibition zone (18.5%) against growth inhibition of fungi Ganoderma boninense’s mycelium. A series of optimation assays of chitinase activity were conducted at pH 3 to 8 with 0.5 interval, and temperature at 30 to 70°C, with 5°C interval. Specific chitinase activities was measured using the colorimetric method. The highest specific chitinase activity significantly at 1.66393±0.04807 mU/μg (95% confidence level) at pH 5.5 and temperature 45°C.
