This is characterized by the unchanging red Chitinolytic bacteria isolates showed unstable chitinase activity color of the carbohydrate media. When the color of the medium (fluctuate). This may be due to the isolate that produces the in the carbohydrate test turns into yellow, it means that the colony [10] chitinase at the beginning of its growth[13]. In line with the forms acid from that carbohydrate . utilization of nutrition for growth, it is also suspected that chitinase A citrate test was carried out to find out the ability of the is also used by bacteria as a source of protein, thus its chitinase chitinolytic bacteria isolates to utilize citrate as the only source of activity decreases. carbon and energy. When a microorganism can use citrate, there The decrease of enzyme activity can also be caused by factors will be an increase of pH and change in the color of the media into such as temperature, pH, substrate and biomass during treatment in blue color. In this study, the citrate test reveals that the chitinolytic the laboratory. The temperature has two main influences on the bacteria cannot utilize citrate as the only source of carbon. This is reaction and the denaturation. The influence of reaction toward the shown by the unchanging green color of the media, which means enzyme is that the increase of temperature will accelerate the that the test result is negative. Positive test results in the citrate test [16] reaction process, while the decrease in the temperature will cause are shown when the color changes from green to blue . the reaction to slow down. When the temperature reaches a certain Further, the H2S test result in SIM is negative. This negative limit, it will cause denaturation. Besides, when the pH of the result is reached when microorganism has no ability to hydrolyzed environment is too acid or base, enzyme denaturation can also heavy metal within the media. H2S is produced by several types happen. Reaction speed catalyzed by the enzyme is highly of microorganisms, which can break or degrade amino acid within influenced by substrate concentration. In the low level of the sulfur (S). The existence of H2S can be observed by adding substrate concentration, reaction speed by catalyzed by the enzyme several crystals of heavy metals into the media. can also be very low. In reverse, reaction speed will increase along The reaction observable in the TSIA test shows a red color, with the increase of substrate concentrate up to certain points that is which means that there is no change of color in both vertical and the maximum reaction speed limit. When this saturated point of slight agar. This indicates that the bacteria are unable to ferment the enzyme has been reached, it will not function properly. Lastly, sugar. In the vertical agar if the bacteria can ferment glucose, the the number of bacteria inoculum (biomass) inserted into the media color of the media will change from red to yellow[17]. Whereas in also strongly influence the enzyme activity. slight agar, if the bacteria can ferment lactose and sucrose, the 3.2 Biochemical test color of the media will change into yellow, meanwhile, when there The biochemical test toward the characteristics of chitinolytic is no fermentation process of lactose and sucrose, the color will not bacteria was carried out by fermenting bacteria in the various change. sources of nutrition as shown in Figure 2. The biochemical test Methyl red test also reveals a negative result. This is shown result of chitinolytic bacteria is presented in Table 1. by the unchanging color of the media which does not change into yellow even after the addition of methyl red reagent. The red colour signifies the positive test result, and if the color of the broth is yellow, then the result of the test is negative[16]. Similarly, the Voges Proskauer test also shows a negative result. This is evident after the addition of the KOH solution; the color does not change. The Voges Proskauer test will be stated as positive when there is a form of acid, which signifies by the changes of medium color into pink after the KOH solution is added. Meanwhile, the indole test also shows a negative result. This result is obtained after the reagent Kovac is added, which signify by the formation of a yellow ring. The existence of indole is detected by Kovac reagent and the Figure 2 Isolate R1 (10×100 magnification) formation of a red ring. May, 2021 Sulistijowati R, et al.
