Research trends in isolation and identification of bacteria from Indonesia with various roles: Review Article

Abstract

Bacteria are agents that can be used widely and are genetically easy to manipulate and reproduce. Many studies related to the isolation and identification of bacterial isolates from Indonesia have been carried out for various purposes. This research is still ongoing and has never been informed about the abundance of data from previous studies. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of research topic trends related to the isolation and identification of bacterial isolates from Indonesia. The method used in this review is by setting inclusion and exclusion criteria and selecting a random sample of articles for analysis. The results of a review of research trends in isolation and identification of bacterial isolates from Indonesia showed four main topics discussed, namely the topics of food processing, agriculture, health, and bioremediation. Analysis of 41 articles shows that the most common discussion is the exploration of Lactate Origin-producing bacteria, the role of improving food quality. Furthermore, it was identified that the most isolated bacterial isolates came from food and plants, with 14 publications from a total of 41 articles. It can be concluded that exploratory research on Lactic Acid Bacteria for improving the quality of food products is currently the most studied topic by researchers in Indonesia.

Isolation and Characterization of Lactic Acid Bacteria from Rice Washing Water Waste

“…Based on Table 2, all bacterial isolates showed non-motile results, meaning that there was no bacterial movement during the 2-day incubation time as seen from the absence of propagation around the ose needle puncture. From some research results, it is stated that lactic acid bacteria are bacteria that do not have flagella so that movement is inhibited [29], [30]. In line with the research results [31] that lactic acid bacteria from Kepok Banana Tape showed non-motile bacteria or no bacterial dispersal.…”
