- Abstract
The use of plant-based feed ingredients in aquaculture is expected to reduce feed costs. However, plant ingredients generally have a low protein content and are difficult to be digested by monogastric animals. The fermentation process is proven to increase the digestibility and nutritional value of plant ingredients. Previous research succeeded in isolating fibrolytic bacteria from buffalo rumen. The ability of microbes to degrade various macromolecules is crucial for their application in feed fermentation. Therefore, this research was conducted to determine the lipolytic and proteolytic activities of fibrolytic bacteria from buffalo rumen. A total of 30 fibrolytic bacterial isolates were tested for their lipolytic and proteolytic activities. The proteolytic activity was determined based on the ability to produce clear zones on the skim milk agar (SMA) medium. Lipolytic activity was determined by using a rhodamine B-olive oil agar medium. The results showed that all fibrolytic bacterial isolates had proteolytic and lipolytic activities. The molecular identification results based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the bacterial isolates were members of the phylum Firmicutes, namely Bacillus, Paenibacillus and Exiguobacterium; phylum Proteobacteria, namely Acinetobacter, and Klebsiella; and the phylum Bacteroidetes, namely Chryseobacterium.
