Daya Hambat Ekstrak Etanolik Buah Sirih Hijau (Piper betle L.) Terhadap Pertumbuhan Jamur Candida albicans (ATCC 1805)
ABSTRACT: The research
had been conducted
in the Laboratory
of Microbiology, Department
of Biology, Faculty
of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, the University of Cenderawasih
during September–November 2012. The aims of the research were to
understand the effect of green betel
fruit extract inhibition against the C.
albicans, as well as the effective concentration
of extract to
inhibit the growth
of the fungus.
Fruit samples were
obt ained from the Koya Koso
village, Abepura District, Jayapura city, while the fungal isolates
of C. albicans was obtained from the Laboratory of
Microbiology, Faculty of
Medicine, University of
Padjadjaran. The study
was performed using
a method of disk diffusion method with concentration of 10%, 5%, 2.5%
and control, while indicator parameter were measured based on the presence of
inhibition zone caused by inhibition treatment.
The study was designed on a Completely
Randomized Design (CRD) and the data were analyzed using analysis of variance
at α= 0.5 and α= 0.1. The presences of significant differences of data were
further analyzed using Least Significance Differences (LSD) analyses. The
results showed that all green betel fruit extract concentrations effectively
inhibited the growth of the fungus C.
albicans and concentration of 10% revealed the best inhibition effect.
