PENGHAMBATAN PERTUMBUHAN Aspergillus flavus DAN Fusarium moniliforme OLEH EKSTRAK SALAM (Eugenia polyantha) DAN KUNYIT (Curcuma domestica)
Abstract: Growth inhibition of
Aspergillus flavus and
Fusarium moniliforme by
leaf extract of
salam (Eugenia polyantha) and
turmeric (Curcuma domestica) was studied. Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method was
used in this experiment.
The plant extracts
used were 0,
5, 10, 15,
30, 40, 50,
60 and 70%
and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as
a solvent. The result showed that the E. polyantha and C. domestica have a
different activity in inhibiting the growth of A. flavus. The leaf extract of
turmeric showed lower activity inhibiting A. flavus and F. moniliforme than
that of E.polyantha. In 5% E. polyantha inhibits the growth both of the fungus.
While C. domestica showed activity inhibiting A. flavus in 5 % and F.
moniliforme in 40 %.
