Karakterisasi Bakteri Dan Jamur Yang Berpotensi Sebagai Mikroba Endofit Asal Kulit Buah Kakao (theobroma Cacao L.) Unggul Sulawesi-2

Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) has potential to symbiosis with endophytic microbes. These microorganisms have a symbiotic mutualism with host plants. The group of endophytic bacteria are produce antibiotics, anti-cancer, anti-fungal, anti-viral, volatile compounds, even insecticides, while endophytic fungi is a biological control agents. This study were aimed to isolate and characterize bacteria and fungi that have the potential as endophytic microbes from Sulawesi's superior cacao (T. cacao L.). The method used in this study was descriptive method to determine the characterization of bacteria and fungi that have the potential as endophytic microbes, the results showed that there were 2 bacterial isolates who has a different morphology and 1 fungal isolate suspected genus Aspergilus.
