Pengaruh pH dan Perubahan Temperatur terhadap Pembentukan Spora Bacillus sp. BK17

Abstract

Bacterial spores are the surviving structure under unfavourable physical and chemical conditions. Bacillus sp. BK17 is a spore forming bacteria that has been reported to have an ability to inhibit the growth of various pathogenic fungi.This study aims to determine the best pH and temperature for the formation of spore. The result showed that Bacillus sp. BK17 has the highest spore formation at the initial pH of media of 5,0 and at a heat shock of 70° C for 60 minutes.
