Abstract :
The aim of this study was to know about the characteristic and the sensitivity of Bacillus subtilis isolated from shrimp culture ponds to antimicrobial agents. Fifty isolates of Bacillus spp. That fermented mannitol on MSA media and showed rod shapes, had been identified by macroscopic, microscopic, biochemical and sugars test. The result showed six isolates were Bacillus subtilis. Antimicrobial agents thathad been used for sensitivity test were Penicillin, Ampicillin, Oxytetracycline, Gentamicin, Ciprofloxacin,and Sulfamethoxazole by in vitro using Kirby- Bauer method. Disc of these antimicrobial agents were placedon the cultures of Bacillus subtilis at the surface of MHA media, incubated at 37 C for 24 hours. Diameter of inhibitor area around the disc was measured on mm to identify the isolates resistant or sensitive. The sensitivity test result that Bacillus subtilis sensitive to all of the antimicrobial agents with range of diameter inhibition was 16 until 38 mm. It means that Bacillus subtilis didn’t have gen resistant and couldn’t transfer it to pathogen bacteria in shrimp culture so that it was very safe for use as a probiotic. It was suggested to do another identification test to make sure about Bacillus subtilis and do in vivo study to know the isolates safe to be used as a probiotic or not
