Molecular Characterization; Endophytic Bacteria Isolate; Angsana or Lansano Plant [Pterocarpus indicus Willd]; Antibiotic Compound

The increasing resistance of pathogenic bacteria to antimicrobials requires the discovery of new antibiotics. Angsana plant or Lansano (Pterocarpus indicus Willd) is one of the medicinal plants in West Sumatra. Angsana has the potential to have endophytic bacteria capable of producing antibiotic compounds like its host. The endophytic bacterial isolates of Angsana can inhibit the growth of S. aureus and E. coli bacteria. This study aims to determine the genetic characteristics of the endophytic bacteria of Angsana leaves that produce antibiotic compounds through phylogenetic tree analysis.
