Potensi Cuka Kayu dari Eucalyptus pellita dan Acacia mangium Wild Sebagai Antimikroba
Abstract: Waste timber during
logging Eucalyptus pellitaand Acacia mangium Wild from plant forest industry
has not been in use, where it can processing as wood vinegar. The purposed of
this study were to obtain wood vinegar from Eucalyptus pellita and Acacia
mangium Wild and determine the antimicrobial activity from both wood vinegar.
Antimicrobial activity conducted with view clear zone around the paper disc
soaked in vinegar on a medium Nutrient Agarcontains microbial pathogens
Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Bothwoodvinegardilutedwithdistilled
water at concentration of50%, 40%, 30%, 20% and10% respectively, andhad

The results showed that the yield of wood vinegar fromEucalyptus

Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was inhibited by both wood vinegar
