IDENTIFIKASI MORFOLOGI MIKROBA PADA RUANGAN WATER CLOSET JURUSAN BIOLOGI UNIVERSITAS NEGERI MAKASSAR

Abstract

ABSTRACT
A Water closet is a public place that has the potential for the growth of various types of microbes. The purpose of this study was to isolate and identify the morphology of microbial colonies in one of the water closet rooms of the Biology Department. The method used was microbial isolation using TEA (Tauge Ekstrak Agar) media with the composition for each material being converted to 100. Then placed in a water closet for 15 minutes and incubated at 37oC for 2 days. Observation and identification of microbial colony morphology on the media were carried out with the aid of light. The results obtained were the growth of 2 microbial colonies M1 and M2. M1 has morphological characteristics of white color, moderate size, rhizoid form, filamentous margins, elevation convex. M2 has the characteristics of white morphology, small size, circular form, margin entire, elevation convex. The use of TEA media that has been converted to 100 can grow two types of microbial colonies. Keywords: Morphological Identification, Microbial Isolation, TEA (Tauge Ekstrak Agar)
